Monday 25th February – It's Good News Week

That's a sarcastic heading if ever I saw one!

So, that's another week gone by then. First off, my black moods have come back and I'm sunk, hopefully going to be able to get to see my doctor later today. The Mood has got really bad over the last three or four days for some reason.

Everything's too much effort, I don't want to do anything, but I don't want to sit and do nothing either. Headaches are haunting me like crazy. I don't want human contact but at work last night, it seemed as if everyone wanted to talk to me everywhere I went - not the ideal thing is it? I don't want to go out, for any reason, seemingly for ever at the moment.

The TerrorGate Scandal at work has, as predicted, died a silent death. When that ANC van rushed past me I thought that that alone would seal the fate of the old ways, born of the 1930's. But no, it seems as if "it's just one of them things" and, now the shouting and Major Procedures have died down, the importance of the whole thing has, well, just gone with it. Pathetic.

I've starting setting up my ebay shop to run alongside my web site, and by Wednesday last week, I'd sold £700 worth of laptops. Apparently. Two were brought by someone in Nigeria, and the third one was brought by someone in Germany, who wanted it shipping out to his sister in - guess where? Yes, you got it - Nigeria.

These scrotes obviously think I'm thick. I've reported them to ebay - and paypal - and their ebay accounts have been suspended. Problem is though, as soon as fake bids are received, the ebay auction closes down, as it thinks the items have been sold. That cost me almost a tenner - and ebay replied to my complaint yesterday saying that they're not crediting me with the insertion fees although the auctions were closed by fraudulent bids. That's a tenner in smoke for nothing. I just hope these Nigerian scammers (not the word I would have originally used!) die a long slow painful and lingering death somewhere.

The neighbour's fence dispute has escalated in that he's now brought the land we were using so I've got to clear all our rubbish off it, as soon as, because he want's to fence his "New" land. That's an extra day's work for me as a result.So I'm in the garden tomorrow. Thanks Neighbour.

I've done that budget last week as well - see, I said I would! But it's already blown out the water because I've had loads of bills this week. On the budget, I need to bank £66 per day, 365 days a year, which means I've got to earn £100 a day, forever. This £36,500 I need to earn this year is nothing to do with debt though - apart from the mortgage - it includes literally everything I can think of for the house and business - and that's only just treading water, breaking even and standing exactly where I am now.. And as I only earn £20-21, 000 with (lots of) overtime, you can see my problem straight away can't you?

Oh, and last weeks bills - here they are:

Heating Oil - £250/Telephone Bill £230/Poll Tax (missed last months payment) £200/ Electricity bill £138 installment (Missed two months). Everyone's pushing me for money again,so it's got to be paid. That means I've got to find an extra £818 next payday.

Guess I'll just keep on keeping on then.
