Hi all
Well, in the spirit of New Year, I thought I'd start a new diary and leave my past ones behind!
What a decade - graduated, got my PGCE, moved to london, had the children, got married, got divorced, alcoholism raised it's ugly head, ran up £38,000 of det in three years, bought house, moved up north - not in that order and much more besides!! At the close of the decade, I'm dealing with the alcohol problem - 7 months sober - children are happy, divorced single mum, 31 and getting happier! Got bf, who is lovely, but has his own issues that I can't help with and also a brain tumor which seems to be growing rapidly. Debt well under £17k
What forthis year??? Well, I know I need to bring clamness into all areas of my life and be more organised! Starting my OU course in feb - want to get things sorted more by then.
Be back later with plans and money details!!
William calling to play with trains!
