I dont have as much as i usually do by now, but im waiting on the xmas money coming in from the pub.

Still need to sort the office people / CM and one or two friends. But i think i can do xmas on £300 this year including going out. And its the first time in 8 years i havent had to cook xmas dinner, so that will save a fortune!

Joe is still having a hard time managing at school but he has been put in the top class for maths today as his teacher has just told me that he is a wizz in math and science. So that is a :j. Just a shame he had to climb that flipping tree and refuse to come down i mean Joe gets nervous climbing steep stairs as he doesnt like heights again .com!!!

Anyway, i will be back later with a meal plan for the rest of the month later as i really dont want to be spending anymore money this month.

Hellooooo An-gie?

Hello nats,

Im still around but this ms lark is just not going to plan at the moment.

Joes not been at school for ages and even when he is he gets sent home, so ive lost hours and also spent over £100 in cabs over the last two weeks. Plus my childcare has doubled so im a wee bit screwed at the moment. Im already at my 500 o/d and ive not even made min payments to credit cards.

Just trying to get to the 18th when i finish work and then crack on once ive got Joe sorted. Im hoping that his statement comes through in the new year and that he can move to a school that will suit him.

Lol, this post just seems like a moan, Sorry!

Hi Angie! Well it certainly sounds like you've had a pretty full-on time recently! Joe is definitely more important than debt-busting, I hope things start to work themselves out soon and you can get yourself back on an even keel. If you are really struggling and you get a chance, try to speak to your creditors (easier said than done I know!)

On the upside - you finish for crimbo on the 18th and I'm at work until 5pm on the 23rd!

I'm usually around on here if you want to moan - or you can PM me!

Take care, Nats x

Hello,

Ive not been posting much on my diary as everything as been so up in the air. Joe will not be back at school until next year now. He is very lonely and down at times. So as he is not at school my childcare instead of being £150 this month has jumped to £375.

Ive also overspent by £105 so far this month due to having to get a taxi's to get Joe from school when ive been called up. What with that going up and losing hours at work its just gone all wrong!

This is the worse month for this to happen for us really, what with xmas and Joes birthday in Jan. So ive cancelled Joes party i was planning and have agreed to another sleepover instead. HM pizzas / chips and snacks shouldnt cost me the earth and will be so much cheaper than a party so that will help.

As i posted the other day, im so overdrawn at the moment. I think i have been left with no choice but to start paying everything into my other account and then start paying off the overdraft. Im not to sure though. I need to sit down and look at it all but i just feel sick that in the space of 4 weeks everythings just going wrong with money. Ive had no overtime either which hasnt helped.

Ive got a MV tonight, so thats a bit of extra cash and a free meal. And i need to visit ebay again and sell as much as i can. Ive also put in a claim for DLA. Not holding out much hope on that, but even if i got the min of £18 per week i could then get Joes tutor back as i really dont want him falling too far behind.

So if anyones got any ideas of earning money quick, id be really greatful! lol. Or the winning numbers for the Euromillions? Thats if ive got the god dam £2 to put it on!

Anyway, enough of rambling, hope everyone is well, I cant wait until next Friday, i will be off until new year, going to do lots of fun stuff with Joe and just enjoy being a mum for 2 weeks!
