I had to force myself to go out today and i only made the effort because i had to see my accountant and i wasn't best pleased when he told me I had an unexpected tax bill to be paid immediately, bearing in mind he had earlier told me i had nothing to pay until July. Consequently, it sent me in a downward spiral and my anxiety hit the roof, we pay these people handsomely and they should do their job properly.
However once i got over the shock and I calmed down a little, i rushed home for an appointment to keep, and that at least went ok.
I really didn't feel like cooking, in fact i really wasn't hungry at all, but i forced myself to eat 2 cans of hearty soups with buttered toast and finished off the box of Ferrero Rocho which a friend gifted me. And now i am snuggled down in my onesie and warmer than I've been all day.
The winter weather affects me badly and I seem to close down, and I end up going to bed ridiculously early, but i do find it the best place to be with the TV and electric blanket on and no one to bother me.

Yes and i value my ''me time'' with just me and my two little dogs, even they feel the cold ,and they are due for a groom but i think i will leave it until the weather is a bit warmer.x
My cats hate the winter. We have to keep the windows closed and they start growling at me. They love open windows. What kind of dogs do you have. I like tiny dogs. It's easy for them to cuddle with you. My cats hate the winter because I don't let them outside in the winter months. They even growl at me when they're angry about the windows being closed. So stay cozy, safe and warm.
One of my friends says how after he got evicted he was scared of answering the phone in case he got bad news however when the letting agency rang to say they were sorry but they were getting evicted after they hadn't paid their rent that was polite after they had lost their jobs and got behind on bills.
At least that was polite and gave them an idea that they were sending them a notice in due course as they had tried to sort out the arrears with them and court was the last resort.
When I got evicted back last May my rent was always paid in full and on time and with respect the way they dealt with it was appalling when they just sent the no fault eviction notices to everyone in the July of 2022 without ringing to explain to say they were sorry but this has happened which is polite.
With me it's not the move in itself that upset me it's the way it was handled that did!
I am starting to overcome this but since that happened back in the July of 2022 I have had fears of things coming through the letterbox of it being bad news!
I had a frustrating morning as well when a place rang up and demanded I go for an informal type interview in person before going to the official interview!
If it was a phone or video interview fair enough but petrol to go there isn't cheap is it?
I told them no I wasn't doing that and slammed the phone down on them after they shouted at me because I wasn't going to give them their own way and my sister in law said good for me for slamming the phone down on them and how they had no business to go shouting at people just because they couldn't have their own way!
We both enjoyed a Chinese this lunchtime as planned so just had a sandwich for dinner to put us on as we weren't very hungry after having eaten all that at lunchtime!
Baby enjoyed her Chinese leftovers and sends her regards to the dogs!
Hi it certainly is cold secrets and sounds like you are doing the best thing by snuggling down.
Your tax bill must have been a shock: I feel virtuous I have done mine recently however was shocked that on my account I was charged interest for a insufficient payment dating from last year. Thankfully it's not too much. Then I read the small print....hmmm. I dislike doing it online but that's the way of everything these days. So although I've paid my tax I must check again before the end of the month in case there calculations aren't correct and I need to pay more.
Enjoy your cozy evening, no point fighting it, best place to be!
