My goodness Sarah. Look how far you've come in just a couple of days. And you sound so much more confident. WELL DONE.
They are a great bunch of people on here and will help anyway they can.
And yes this site is certainly addictive but its in a good way. Carry on with what you're doing Sarah and good luck.

Hi sarah2490

I just wanted to say I think you've been really brave and also doing a great job considering the upheavals you've had in your life. The MSE people here are lovely & will keep your spirits & enthusiasm up when you're feeling low. It can seem like such a quagmire when there's 100's of letters to be sent & accounts to arrange but it does get better & I hope things continue to improve for you. I found that the simpler I lived, and the less I spent, the less 'hassle' there was and it was win-win all round!

Wishing you all good stuff for this year x

Made a start at cutting back/making money today

Sorted out a box of stuff to list on Ebay and took pic (not listing till Sunday as it's free listing day )

Sorted a box of stuff for listing on a mums nearly new site (bit like ebay but no charges/fees)

Sorted my prams out so I can selling one. I have 3 at the min, crazy I know! I bought one, then I have been given 2 form people that no longer need them. I'm going to keep the 2 I was given and sell the one I bough. Will need to get a rain cover for the one I'm keeping but should still make £150. I'll be able to sell another one once my little girl is older and mover into the 2nd one I'm keeping

Printed letters to change the address on all my bills/statements as some still go to my mums and some to my aunts where I lived

Read the info on basic bank account and pick the one best for me, checked out branch location and asked someone to sit the little one so I can go open one.

Found new childcare for when I go back to work as they changed my shift and the one I had already sorted can't cover the changed hours. It's 50p per hour cheaper an with 20 hours a week to pay for the saving will really add up over the year.

Changed all the light bulbs in the house for energy saver ones that came free from power company (had 2 boxes delivered for some reason)

Called the power company and got estimate monthly dd amounts

Went trough the cupboards and freezer and made 2 weeks meal plan to use up what I've already got.

Send a bag of clothes to my aunts to be altered/fixed, normally I would have just put them in the bin and got new ones

I know it's only small things but I feel like I am moving in the right direction.

:TWhat a start!!!
I agree with pp`s look how far you`ve come. Much more confident
I think your going to be just fine x
