Okies so I only started a new diary in July but then I became single for first time in 6.5 years and have started living alone for first time ever.
I have spent the last few months having a rough time but a lot of support from you wonderful MSE folk but money has been the last thing on my mind.
I am finally starting to feel much better and as my living situation is a lot different these days and its time to get back on track with money. I am luckily still debt free but I want to start saving again too, I dream of owning a house one day (though the government thinks otherwise!) and as my life is very unplanned right now it will be handy to have some!

Okies so as much as I don't want Christmas this year because its gonna be my first one not at his families and spent with my family for six years I need to think about buying pressies so am trying to get back into Bingoport.
Its quite boring though but I need Amazon vouchers to help me.
On the positive side I have a cheaper Christmas coming up as about six less people to buy for as he was rubbish at that kinda thing... :rolleyes:Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month0 -
