Not a good month

I have fallen off the wagon a bit this month:mad: . I had a few large bills (car insurance) and less money coming in this month so I had to use Morgan Stanley cheques to help me out a bit:o

On the plus side though I know I can do it and I have increased my hours in work from 24 to 30 per week so this will help me out a lot:j .

    Hi Magni,
    we all have these kind of months. At least you recognised there was an issue, and have acted by working more hours. Good luck with your journey.

    Best of luck :)

    I am having a bad month too money wise, so many bills and am really struggling money wise. Why does everything seem to come at once?
    I get paid in 4 days though which will be a big relief! :)

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
