new start - get life straight

mum2one

Should I say good news - everything is going ok for now!!
The tutorial went really well, the trip to Wolverhampton was spot on the sat nav was a godsend (dads words), thou trying to navigate actually getting into the uni and the right building took 45mins!

Dad was going to go for a wonder, but the tutor said he could stay, so he was sat at the back of the room with The Sun and hos wordsearch..
Took a detour on the way back via Home Bargains, I'm lethal in that shop, got a wack of staff for dd birthday party (not to Sept, buy buy cheap), and have recouped the money back from the supermarket voucher tin.

Had NSD today, dont know whether to say said or organised, but dd and me, were making xmas cards, made 50, cheated slightly it was stick on felts etc, picked them up in Tesco xmas sale, so had a good afternoon doing that.

Got cooking planned for 2mor......... dd is still coming out in more spots, so keeping her in, shes on ds now so I can catch up.

Got new neighbours moving in tomorrow, they seem ok, bit good to know that someone is there, put mum more at ease, in all honestly all of us.

Looked at my sig, and cant believe how much I have paid off in just 2 months, so hopefully will be able to keep at this level and bring my debt free date down even quicker, then Rome wasnt built in a day. Dont know what happened to my Valentines card, think the postman must of got weighed down and there doing a special delievery!! xx

All is sounding good...I like home bargains as well.Glad tutorial was ok for you and Dad liked the Sat Nav..I have one in the cab and it's handy for out of borough jobs.

Was going to ask dad if he wanted the Sat Nav to use for while DD and I are away, his comment, I've driven you to Manchester Airport enough times to find my way........but you might need it to find the whisky in duty free........you havent been away for 18th months....(cheeky bug*er) as though Id forget his whisky!!

I absolutely give up with Halifax, had another 3 letters today saying there taking another 3 sets of £35 out of my account end of the month, to cover going over my od limit, this was while the increase was going throu.

I'm seething, was going to ring, but get the usual lack of health, have got a telephone request in for financial hardship claim, but after dd gone back to school going to put it in writing, and ask for full refund or whatever the template says
I can go a couple of ways, over £500 in 12 months, additional credit card to survive (used Aqua to get xmas prezzies for dd), and I'm on benefits, going to go down the £500 route 1st.

NSD today xx

Had a really good day - family outing went to the Ice Cream farm nr Chester, of course the Sat Nav had to have an outing (dad was driving), never mind the fact that weve been going there for 10yrs!!

DD loved it, she always does bless her, she scoffed a big bowl of homemade soup and ham toastie for her lunch, I had the most gorgeous brie and bacon baguette, really gd value, for the 4 of us including drinks came to £20 for lunch, then another £9 on icecream! I had christmas pudding and white choc chunk......sod the diet it was gorgeous.
DD so funny, theyve got some animals you can go and see, theres 3 donkeys, we always take them out polos, she marched up to them, and told them unless they queued up nicely they were not haveing any polos, they queued up!!
No bills today, were doing gd!!
Just done scratchcard, now have £10.05, so going to cash out and thats another £10 off the debts.
Intend to have a semi-stress free week, aim to get about 1/2 the weeks schedule of studying done, catch up next week on the rest, know its not the best, but trying to spend time with dd. Shes getting rid of her spots and is no longer contagious..thank god...
Guess my beds calling me..........
