Kellys Save up and Leave home diary!

This is my first time posting a diary on here - dont post too much just read a lot of the posts! - hard to keep up sometimes as they are very long! haha

Anyway! Im 23 and Living at home with my mum!
Im not in any debt but want to start saving so i can get my own place (rent) and a better car (one day - was tempted to get one on finance but with my income i wouldnt be able to get finance anyway! which is prob a good thing)

Its been a bit of a struggle to earn enough money for me to be able to do anything at the moment, I have arthritis in my knees, feet and other joints and struggling to work too many hours at the moment.
I recently got made redundany at the end of June but was only out of work for a week ish before i got my new job - Only working up to 16 hours a week in a supermarket.

I really want a full time job but dont know if i can manage it, I finished Uni last year and feel like im wasing my degree and the also losing the confidence and knowledge i thought i gained from Uni!

I have a good income (a lot from benefits tho) for someone living at home, but i really feel i need to leave home soon and finally grow up!
Make £10 a day Challenge June - £170
