Budget - thats almost feels like a swear word!! I start the month with all the good intentions then it goes wrong.............
I'm covering more than minimum payments on cards, my lovely Vanquis card that has only got £35 left to pay, so close that account, as I only really took it out to get £20 from Quidco. I know that feeling about bank account..

Touch wood the Halifax havent sent any more letters for at least 2 weeks!!!, still waiting to hear on my financial hardship claim, think they have 8 weeks so they have till April to get back to me.

As they say to an extend treading water, xx

Lot better thank you, started to eat.........dont think thats doing the figure any gd, even did a trip to Tesco for Easter Eggs, I hate buying eggs in Feb, but they wereon all offer, so spent hr with dd making some easter buckets up, for friends, dont wabt to see any more eggs.

New month tomorrow, new budget, got to be really really strict, going away Easter, got to spend next week catching uo with OU, bless him my tutor has given me a weeks extension for the assisgnment, so need to get 2 1/2 weeks work donein 1 week, as well as feet appointment, doctors and phyisco, I'm sure I have a reserved chair at the surgery, and promised dd that take her 2 pics wed, she was a little star when poorly.

Give up on the man hunt, still in touch with ex, hes full of regrets, just dont think I could ever trust him again, were going to meet up in next couple of weeks 4 a meal, but thats all it can be. xx

Sounds like you've got a really busy week ahead...good luck with all that.

Ditto what taxi said.

You are so good with your planning. Easter and Xmas prepping already. Ill be the one panicking near the end! That said with the good deals Ill have to by the eggs soon.

I think you are right to be cautious about the ex. Friendship ok but you dont want to open yourself up again if hes hurt you once.

News update

Would love to say I have won the lottery, but did get £10.......but thats got to be split 5 ways, even the dog has his share.

An update on my ex, hes been in touch again via msn, suggesting meeting up, ok fair enough, suggested a couple of places, can't do those, dates, can't do those, ok, then it comes out by the way, I'm seeing someone its not serious but weve been together and I've met her daughter, ok, (hes 42), then it comes out shes just been made a granny and hes got cold feet! Cold feet.........I'd give him hot feet with a kick somewhere up the rear.

So its back to the shelf sob! sob!......... only joking.

Decided to face March head on, as they say about March in like a lion out like a lamb, and I hit another digit at the end of the month. (38!!).
