Chill pill taken. I even did the dishes and wiped down the sink and counter. I think there's no such thing as cleaning baking pans. It's just a slow progression of giving up! ;-) Lucky me, Tues is my next dental visit. Since I have to go to town anyway, I may treat myself to a nice healthy lunch (chinese? no rice?) and a movie. I'm still broke, but it's getting closer to payday!
Baking pans - only time they're really clean is when first purchased LOL.
I agree with TTD about breaking your to-do list into smaller jobs. Start with that Christmas tree you threatened to put up last week LOL - a decorated Christmas tree should lift your PMA to start.
I hear you about too cold to walk, but going for a brisk walk in the cold equals a good excuse for a nice hot cup of soup or hot chocolate between meals.

A good brisk walk in the cold will do you the world of good and you don't have to go very far either Plus it's free, another bonus! lol. I agree, get your tree up and then post the photos on FB

As I sit here pondering my last insulin pen, I'm thankful it'll last until payday.
It's so hard not to be overwhelmed with anger at the thousands of dollars this MLC or WAW escape my W had has cost us.
Even post BD, I busted my ass to pay off credit charges (like the car I rented in June) and just in the last couple weeks the card has been hammered again. Some of that I'll get back when my dental insurance claims are processed, but some I'm just going to have to make up from a severely diminished budget.
Before me is a budget form - one of my tasks is to make the time to finish the Financial Peace course I got for free (a Veteran's Day promo from Dave Ramsey). I first heard Dave on the radio years ago, and have read several of his books. We could have been out of debt and enjoying life years ago - but I can attest to one fact Dave has mentioned time after time - you can't go it alone. If both spouses aren't on board....
I'll get some walking in tomorrow. Have to go into town to get a money order - more cash transfer from CC, too I have to get a money order and get it mailed for the tax payment to make it before the deadline. Second deadline - I missed the School District deadline and they sent it on to the county. If I miss this one it could be ugly. And of course each of those deadlines incurred another fee.
You're right and I think Michelle mentioned this in her first book DB. The WAS/MLCer is skint and so are we. Hope you get your finances back on track soon You'll have to cut back on meals out and trips out with your W Accept the money from her, regardless of your pride. You said she's helped contribute to your financial mess, so some of her money is yours We've got a financial expert here in the UK who has a website called Martin's money tips. Although the site is primarily British, he gives some tips on how to save money There may be an equivalent site in the US.

My MLCer is definitely skint, although I'm getting my budget nicely under control . Granted the consumer proposal we did helped me there (doesn't seem to have helped H much), and I get a weekly newsletter from the credit counselling service with money saving tips. There's loads of websites out there with budget and money saving ideas.

As you know my H couldn't care less about these sites or debt management. He just wants the easy option to sell the house, but it's not going to be that easy as I'm not selling
