    Now we can go back to feeling a bit down again :rolleyes:

    I have managed to keep busy today and so have done things off my list.

    Going to have a cuppa and a cheese pie then go to sleep.

    Have been food shopping and will confess all in the morning :mad:

    :j
    Have done the ironing - double wahoo!
    :j

    Things are just ticking over slowly...

    Got some free cat food today from freebie board - will be enjoyed by OHs cat soon :D (cat lives at ILs house as we dont get on!) I am coming round to the idea of getting a cat though....:rolleyes:

    Shopping came too - 102.99 which is really everything for DS's party :mad::eek:

    Some alcohol in that as well :eek: Food is soooooo expensive! Actually its only 20 alcohol, 10 for cake so thats 80 food :eek: I'm hoping this will mean that we have enough to last us for next now :eek:

    Got to pay the work chq tomorrow. Need to pay rent again tomorrow. Will also give my mum the electric bill to get that paid also.

    I need to look into how im going to pay Nat ins and tax - the food bill has got on top of me and so i've used the nat ins money. I only have 50 left now :( Gosh...its soooo hard.

    Have done scratchies today. Banking is okay aswell - OH got paid more than i thought which is always a bonus!!!

    I think on sunday when OH is about im going to ask OH if i can have some time to get completely caught up with work stuff and also can figure out about this tax stuff. It is stressing me out as its nearly september already. I need to figure out how im going to pay it! otherwise it will go on the cc!!!!!!!!!!!! Will add it to my list.

    Anyway going to crack on with a few things whilst DS is happy. Need to get ready to go out later too :D

    Ive just had a quick look - and this time next year we will have an extra 250 a month :) as my course will be paid for and hopefully things like water, tv licence etc will have reduced as will have been paying for a year not just part of a year iyswim.

    So....perhaps we just need to get through the next 10/11 months and then go from there.....??? I dunno....ill have a look properly over the weekend

    I rejig my figures like that all the time, to see where the extra pennies will come from and where they will land up! Its pretty motivational, but sometimes i find that i have found money somewhere and then forget where and never get it back again!!

    you seem to be getting everything in line though and giving everything a mental place, that should help! x
