Day 300!
As I see it, it’s another milestone and “another milestone” in my eyes = another treat!!😆👍
This treat is a bit of a double edged sword however 🤨. I ordered a lovely Superdry coat and woolly hat in the sale at a great price, which have arrived and I love both of them 🥰👌. Tomorrow however, my dental treatment commences and I have to go for a big bone density scan at another practice where they have this particular scanning machine. When I was given this appointment, I was told that because it was not at the dentist I am having the treatment at, I would have to pay the £180.00 fee!!! 😲😠. This is on top of the 6k I am having to fork out!🤬.
With the above said, I have decided to focus more on my achievement of hitting 300 days g.f, enjoying my treat (just the weather for wearing both of them today as well)! 💨☔️💨☔️. I am also going to remind myself that due to my hard work, perseverance and commitment to improve my financial situation, I do not have to think about where I am going to find £180.00. Prior to this, if I had been gambling, the first thing on my mind would have been “where am I going to get the money for this”. Or possibly, I would have had to speak to my sister for a potential loan. Now however, my first thought was, “thank God I can afford this”! 👍.
Another positive thing I am going to remind myself of today is that I do have the 6k sitting safely in my bank account. Those of you who have read my diary, will know that this came from a tiny pension that I thought basically amounted to nothing or certainly no lump sum but as a matter of fact, it did pay out a lump sump sum which was literally just a tad under 6k!👏. I do believe that “him above” does look after me when he sees I am working hard. Not everyone thinks this way I know and that’s fine but I just do 😊.
It’s comforting to know that also, I have no overdraft facility on both my bank accounts so anything I spend/use is literally my own hard earned money 👍.
Off around to my sister’s this afternoon for a lovely Sunday roast with her and her family and all that comes with it 😋🥂🍾.
Have a lovely g.f day everyone and to those of you who are just starting out/in the early throws of your g.f journey and reading this, I hope you can take some comfort on being able to see that every aspect of your life will most definitely get better if you remain strong and determined👌🙏.
Take care all.

@j5a6meyr4z Hey Pink
Been keeping up with your diary and just wanted to congratulate you on your 300 days!! It's a big milestone and you should be proud of how far you've come and all you've achieved along with managing to pay various things along the way like your dreaded dental work.
Keep going and keep smashing those goals, 65 days (or Maybe 64/63 now lol) until you've completed a year 🙂
All the best
@brownie889 Awh thank you brownie 💙.
I hope all is going accordingly in your life and you are doing well too?
Take care.

Day 301.
Mood right now is not good 😔. Took two hours annual leave to go to the dentist for my scan. I got there and sat for five minutes before a nurse came up and told me that the scanning machine had just broken! They said they would have to book me in for next Monday. Although no one’s fault, I wasn’t too happy. I have also had terrible tooth/gum/eye/face/headache all day (and still now), with this ongoing infection in my gum so I think this is also affecting my mood 😖.
I decided to get into bed early and when I flushed my toilet before bed, the water would not stop so I have had to go outside my front door and physically turn my water off until I get up in the morning 🙈. I have just about had enough for today!
I can’t do anything else, other than to just tell myself “tomorrow is a new day and just try to breath through it -pain and all” 🙏.
Good night, God bless all.

Well done on 300 days, and up to 25 pages on your diary, that's alot of entries! 🤣
Day 306.
Not been in the best frame of mind this week 😔. Monday, I wasted 2 hours of my annual leave to go for a scan that didn’t happen. Later that evening, my toilet flush broke so in the middle of arranging to have that repaired.
Thursday I had to go for an emergency dental appointment as I was in so much pain and my face was all swollen 😖. Three minutes in the dentist chair and a course of antibiotics later at a cost of £70.00 🤬. Now I am sitting here, trying to organise a plumber and wondering how much this is going to cost me! It has been a busy and painful week in work as well and working full time has taken its toll due to lack of sleep 😴.
Ruminating about all of the above is not going to help me mentally so now for the positives:
- It’s is a lovely bright and sunny day here
- I had/have the money in my bank account for emergency dentist/plumber
- I have had a very lazy morning in bed with a cuppa/catching up on diaries
- Me, my brother and sis-law are at my sister’s for drinks/dinner later
- I have just treated myself to some makeup/skincare products I can afford
- I have another day off tomorrow to recharge my batteries.
Just remember folks - when things seem tough, turning to gambling will eventually only make things much worse, both financially and mentally 👎.
Stay strong and committed everyone for better days ahead 💪🙏.
