Penguin are you ok?...Haven't seen you about the boards for a good few days!!!..and you haven't updated you're weight loss either....

Im here! Lurking tbh as I'm feeling a bit crappy at the moment but it will pass soon. Literally budgetting to the penny at the moment and debts arent really moving as its back to minimum payments at the minute but on the bright side at least we can still make all the minimums!

Its DD and DS birthday in March - luckily they are young so no big, expensive presents needed!

I have set my quit date for smoking for Sunday and I have an assignment due in tomorrow that I have done but I am not happy with and feeling at bit arrgghh at the minute!

But some good news - have lost 2lb at slimming this week bringing total weight loss to 2st 10lbs - at least something is going well.

Im alright really just got to get out of this negative mindset!

How work going at the min? x x

Apart from the smoking and not at SW at moment, i could have wrote the same Pingu. I think some of mine is definately down to lack of sleep..

Great news on the weight loss that is a brill amount overall:T

Firstly..well done on the weight loss..nearly 3 stones already:T:T:T:T:T:T

I can understand totally how you're feeling as I feel the same at the moment.
A positive is though that you are managing to pay everything.....
Do you know what you are getting for the children yet?
You just reminded me that it's DDs birthday March 17..I will stick £30 in a card for her.
Good luck on giving up smoking...just give up myself.
Hopefully this weekend everything willl start to pick up as loads get paid so should make it busy.

Glad your ok, have been worried about u, give up with debts, as long as can do the minimum thats ok.........still waiting for my millionaire to come along!! x

Evening all - hope alls well. Budgetting is going well for this month although its bloody exhausting trying to keep track of OH's money and make sure it ends up in the right bank accounts! Mortgage has gone down again - nearly a 400.00 drop from this time last year - I know it will go back up again though so keeping an eye on that.

Met a friend today which was lovely to have a catch up with my 'old' life (before babies, mortgages and debts) as I started so young (2 babies and house by 21) my friends havent caught up yet - we are all about 25 now so a few of them are engaged and one has bought a house etc - Ive always said by the time I am in a position to have a social life again when kids are older, money easier they will all be settling down and where I am now!

Feeling better today although still havent got DD any presents but do have some money earmarked for that when I can figure out what to get her.

Quit day tomorrow is making me nervous but will ignore that feeling and think of the money!

OU assignment done and couple of weeks till the next one.

Thats it for now - will be back tomorrow - think I need to post some more when things are crappy rather than staying away until they are better! xxx

You'll be ok tomorrow and it won't feel as bad as you expect...good luck stopping.
I agree that you should post things when crappy as we can help you then.
Has DD not hinted at anything she wants for her birthday?...kids are hard to buy for sometimes...sure you'll think of something.

penguin83

Thanks Taxi - Oh has just nipped in for a quick coffee and says its not too bad tonight so fingers crossed!

I asked DD what she wanted and she said she wasnt going to tell me because then she would know what she is getting! Very helpful. Tbh she is pretty easy to buy for - very girly so anything pink, sparkly etc and loves anything princessy - then 10 days after that its DS's birthday - arrgghh! x x

Hi Penguin...How are you feeling with giving up smoking?...stick with it ....
