    Paid £40 0ff loan nd £50 phone bill yesterday so feel bit better.
    Paid£130 in december hoping to pay more over next few months.
    Been having serious discussion about finanaces with oh tonight as hes loses bonus in new year and small payrise plus small rise in outgoings which means defecit not good!
    We need to up oyur income a little if we are going to get by and up it lots to make big dent as at momnent oh just managing min payaments so not getting better and defecit means sinking further.
    Im trying to stay positive!seems so daunting but feel I need to be strong and show oh every little thing counts.
    Am looking for p/t job but hard 2 come by at the moment as most of m experience is in retail sector and need to fit in around childcare.
    Im hoping bike sells this month and ebay does well.
