    Petrol will be down to £5 a week Squizz, don't think I can get it any lower as OH has to go and sign on still every fortnight. That still leaves £30 a week for food which is ok..just don't need any unexpected spending cropping up otherwise I'll be fooked.

    Need to go and ask about the chickens today, not that I can afford to get any at the moment, but something for when I have a bit more available to spend maybe

    Just had an idea...I received cashback voucher from Ebay yesterday to the value of £3.55 to spend...wonder if I can buy something and sell it on and make some money, reuse the profit and keep going. I know its a seriously small amount and im only likely to increase the profit my pence but hey worth a try I guess :)

    Why do some days feel like I am fighting a loosing battle. OH has had his motorbike in storage since his accident last march, still no money from insurance and bike place he is keeping it wanted money for storage. His insurance paid it but it was on the proviso he had to get some of the repair done there.

    He arrange for them to go ahead with repairs without asking how much :mad:
    £260 flipping pounds. So he still can't get it back and I just wonder sometimes. He's in a grump, but yet seems to do nothing towards getting the money, surveys, bingo, selling his crap on ebay. I really am at the end of my tether and fed up with being made to feel bad as there is no money in the budget

    Crap day

    Oh and I am desperate to come to Buns party but so confused about what to do....
    Why do I feel guilty for leaving B behind....I worry that OH will be horrible to her and I shouldn't put her through that. I feel like I would have no control over the situation and stupid as that sounds, scares the shiite out of me.

    Why is he keeping the bike Sally...does he want to use it again...

    Why are you feeling bad (easy for me to ask cos I know EXACTLY how you are made to feel)

    You haven't got the money, he might get off his !!!! and do something about it. My mums neighbour went to get a crisis loan today cos she stopped paying his rent for him.....

    He is a family friend but the point is while my mum was helping him he did nothing for himself.
