    You're doing great love - it's just all coing at once. Give it a few months and you'll be coasting along. Great news on Dad Debt.
    This year I'm getting organised once and for all, and going to buy a house with my wonderful other half. And that' s final!

    morning all - sme old same old - got the money for kids trips sorted, and MOT cash - leaves me a little short for the rest of the week but i have plenty of stuff in to manage and will probabably only need spend a fiver or so on milk/bread etc.

    Still stickign to budget ok but with having to find £450 per month for next 3 months its making it near impossible to put money away for the things i need to save for ie car tax/xmas etc.

    All priority debts and debt repayments are being made so that a result!

    MOT due tomorrow on one of the cars - should be ok - dont think theres anything bad to find but you never know - fingers crossed eh?

    Car Tax at the end of the month and Car Tax on the other car at the end July but ina way once they are paid it will give me the chance to get sorted and stash the money for when they are next due.

    Finding it tough at the moment am constantly tired, ready for a holiday i think - only 8 weeks tomorrow but its the one thing thats made things worse money wise - i ma never putting myself in that position ever again - hence saving already for next years through vouchers.
