I Moved in to a flat of my own after me and my ex split up and i am loving the freedom:D
Got a little one who stay's round 2 nights a week and we have loads of fun he keeps me on my toes...
Got a few debts which im trying to sort out just in the process of writing to them all and changing the address:mad:
Start a new part time evening job in the next few days so that should go towards Xmas and the cars Mot at the end of November.
So my first challenge is to save £300 for Christmas and the Mot and service.... and to have as many NSD as is possible.:T
let the fun begin now!!!

Hi All,
If i post in here everyday i know it will keep me motivated!
No plan's as yet for my birthday, dont really look foward to them anymore littleone is excited though bless him, was going to get a pizza with a friend and have a lazy evening.
Just sitting here know thinking of what to do next, ive decided that im not letting my ex get the better of me, what she does is up to her ill be there if she wants a chat and of course if its to do with my son, but from now on im past caring what she does or gets up to as it only winds me up more and then i get down about it and waste money.
onwards and upwards..0 -

Good idea with regards to the ex, if you ever want to vent heres the place to do it!
I've just had a proper sound off on my diary re: my OH!

Afternoon all,
Getting organised today which is a bit scary for me!!
I have only spent £10 today on some odds and sods so not to bad,
Had to go to the bank today and get them to make a cheque out for £60 as i got caught speeding the other day.....
So at the end of the day it was my fault but depressing to see that £60 go lol!!
No post today and my moto is no post is good post.
Now off to sort the washing out and see what's for tea.0
