Let My Life Begin

CAFC - Thanks for the idea for the title of my new diary 
Well, life has taken so many turns this year and I felt like it was time for a new diary, a new positive diary with no dwelling on the past 10 months.
For those of you who don't know what I have been through here is the link to my old diary http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1307287.
My circumstances now are:
I am 33
,single and mummy to a beautiful 4 year old daughter who is the light of my life and a 1 year old puppy who has caused me more grief than my DD but who is a major piece in the jigsaw that is my life.
Life is a little complicated as currently I own and I am paying for two houses but lets not dwell on that lol.
I have recently moved back to be near my parents and have managed to bag by myself a lovely 3 bedroom semi detached house. Moving here has changed my life so much and I haven't felt so happy or at home for a long time.
Debts are still there but will soon be gone once the other house completes, so for now they are ticking along nicely. So really my diary maybe shouldn't be on here, but I am not going anywhere :mad:. This diary will be more for me to micro manage my money and try and save for mine and my two pixies future.
I have only been in my house for 3 weeks so I don't yet have a full months data for my SOA but as soon as I can post it up I will, I still want to be careful and I want to see an increasing bank balance each month rather than one which goes red on week two :rotfl:
