    well this month seems to be an odd one for money started so slowly but i feel ok about it now! My mum will lend me some cash and said if i need to borrow more for the isa next month i can but i would rather have it out my money it would be easier.

    I am not keen on barcly so i need to open a new isa in april i think any ideas on which are good?

    Yeah it is Jen, just feel so stuck in a rut where I am at the minute.

    Going out with a friend later hoping that will cheer me up a little.

    Its more owning a home that is frustrating me right now! Only have £600 towards a deposit which is crappy! And next couple of months I have to save for NY so can't put any aside for the house.

    I have also decided to quit volunteering for the CPL as I don't feel I can commit myself at the minute, I am really busy with work and need my weekends to do what I want at the minute, I am feeling guilty though about that though.

    I cancelled all my charity direct debits last month as I need to save every penny but not sure if i should start one for them now as I have quit.

    I am sure they will understand you have done well to work for them for so long for nothing i am sure they are very grateful. At least you have new york to look forward to! I have some money but no holiday etc

    I have volunteered for the last year but i would have had to quit when pregnant anyway so trying to think of it that way.

    Yeah i need to get excited about NY, I was but since I have been ill i have lost my enthusiasm. Am sure i will get it back soon.
