IA's back on the tracks diary.

immoral_angeluk

Well... I knew I wouldn't be able to stay away from long. The support and love on this board was always going to draw me back. Also I didn't realise just how much DFW and MSE keep me on track and on the straight and narrow. And unfortunately I let the comments of a few individuals push me away from that. I also know that a few people will probably see I've come back and be saying to themselves 'I knew it was all just an attention seeking ploy etc'. But it's not. I genuinely missed the board and the majority of people who I know and care about. That brings me on to my disclaimer..

Note to Trolls, etc.
I am who I am. If you don't like me or what I do then that's fine. HOWEVER if you can't be bothered to either ask me about it or talk to me about it in an adult way then don't read my diary. I haven't got the time and energy for people who seek only to attack me and be nasty just for the sake of it. Any comments that I get along those lines will just be ignored or laughed at so don't waste your time. I'm not going to hold back on being open and honest in my DFW journey so if you don't like it, don't read it.

Now that that falaffel is out of the way, welcome to my new diary.
Our debt has gone up recently for a variety of reasons but now we're getting back on track. I do want to say to anyone reading this that NOONE is perfect. We all have our ups and downs and crap happens. Debt will go up and down, you'll be happy or you'll be sad, you'll have good days and bad. But when push comes to shove debt WILL NOT ruin your life if you don't let it. It's not easy and it's not simple but as long as you soldier on with a smile on your face then that's all that matters. Yea yea I know I'm waffling on with moral emotional bull crap.. I'll get on to the nitty gritty now. lol

Everyone in the IA household is fine.. Ste's working hard in his job although is possibly considering moving back to his old post which was more customer based, which would mean a drop in wages a bit but not massively but he's currently reviewing his options.
I'm still loving the CAB but am not in this week as my tutor is off on holiday, so doing home study working towards a 4 day course in the beginning of Sept.
The OU course is going well and I got 76% on my last TMA. :T
Argos is, well... argos. lol
The AS has been quiet because I've had so much on, but still pottering along. The joy of AS is that if need be I can just not do it for a while to catch up. So the past few weeks I've been catching up with myself and have only done 1 maybe 2 parties. But it's all good.
I'm 3.5 sittings into my controversial tattoo and so far it's cost us £180. I've got one more sitting left to finish off my last flower and carry the swirls on down my arm which will be an 1 1/2 worth for £60. So in all it'll have cost £240. Yes, it's a lot and many people will be sat there thinking 'What a waste of money'. But although I know it's expensive I'm SO glad I had it done. I'm so happy with it and can't wait to have it finished. I couldn't be more pleased with it, especally because of the motives behind it. So in my eyes money well spent.
The girls are both fine. KK's starting to talk and is currently calling everyone daddy.. lol. She can also say toast, drink, yes, hello, stinky, look, and probably a few others. She currently loves teletubbies. lol
Ash is cheeky as ever... we've been trying to teach her letters and she can recognise and write a few which is great. She's doing fab at nursery (They both are really) and loves every minute. She's got a good brain on her shoulders that girl..

The band is going great, we're now doing a gig on the 30th August at the Varsity in Wolverhampton. If anyone's in the area feel free to come along It's £4 on the door (doors 8pm) and tell em ThisIsNotAnExit sent you! lol It'll be our first gig so we're all a bit nervous/excited but we've been working hard so it's going to be a good one hopefully! Can't wait

Anyway... enough of my rambling as I know you all want to know just what the damage is debt wise. Well... here's how it stands currently.

Car HP - £4109
Ste Asda card - £1072.91
Sar egg card - £826.32
TV 0% loan - £955 (Due to be paid 15th Oct )

We're currently saving to pay off the TV so we don't incurr any interest. The cards can just plod along until that's sorted. In savings we currently have £174.74, and we've got 2 items on ebay at the moment. Any spare money we get is going straight into savings. I'll update as an when this changes because we keep getting little bits of money here and there coming in.

Today I'm waiting for Autoglass to come and fix a chip in our windowscreen that Ste got yesterday from a rock hitting it while he was driving home from work. Thank god for fully comp! Tonight I'm going running with D again before doing the food shop. Tomorrow I've got a meeting with my AS unit leader and then friday night we're off out to celebrate our anniversary by going to see dark knight and then off out to town with my usual crowd. Then sat night we might be having a anniversary party which'll be nice.

Anyway! I've rambled on enough! So yea, happy new diary and happy beginnings! :beer: (or should I say restartings? lol)

Love to everyone

Thanks... I feel like me again now! Went away thinking the name IA was tarnished but now I'm understanding what it exactly means to me. I AM IA. No name change or disappearing act will ever change that :rotfl: :rotfl:
