Day 7: Caught between a rock and a hard place

I walked into my house this morning and sat at the breakfast table to open my mail.  Back in November I completed a financial diary for the IPSOS survey people.  For an entire month, I had to record every single thing that I bought over one pound, reference where I spent it and record how I paid for it.  It was a bit of a pain in the arse but I thought it would be really interesting to see how I spent my money over a month.  At the end of the month, I posted off my diary and in return for completing it, I today recieved a £15 'Love To Shop' voucher in the post.  This really was the highlight of my day.


The first thing my Mum asked me as I opened up the letters was "Has someone punched you?"!  A sleepless night had left me with bags under my eyes and looking almost as bad as I felt.  Today has continued to be an unbelievable roller-coaster of emotions, full of conversations, confusion, tears, soul-searching and utter exasperation.


There's also been phone-calls, text messages and e-mails from some wonderful people and to those that have helped me today - may I say a massive 'Thank You'.  I am absolutely exhausted now, my eyes are itching and my head is throbbing.  For these reasons, I hope you can appreciate that I'm unable to complete my Blog tonight.


I'm off for a bath, I'm going to climb into bed and I'm going to watch something that makes me feel really good.  Maybe Top Gun. 


Many blessings,
Jason x
