:hugs:

Oh what a bollox weekend sorry babe I've not really been here my wee head going a million miles an hour just now!

I can sympathise with the no sleep lol

You are a brill Mummy in fact can you be my mummy?

elantan

oh you wouldnt say that if you had heard our arguement ...i love him but living with him is just hell right now ...he's trying to stretch his wings and doesnt care who he hurts in doing so ....but thanks anyway

Snaggles

Oh elantan, sorry you are having a tough time, everything always seems to go wrong at once sometimes. I can't imagine how I will feel when DS is at that age and I have to watch him trying to make his own way in the world. I want him to be a little boy who needs his Mummy forever......but he would already go mad if he heard me saying that, and he's only 6!

I've got that song going round in my head now, 'Things can only get better'.....hope it's right!

elantan

i kinda hoped so but it got worse son and hubby had a huge blow out today son has been kicked out the house but i'm trying to play peace keeper ..oh the joys...the car mechanic is know saying he doesnt think it's the filter (is it just me or is it one excuse after another) etc etc ...i couldjust scream loudly right now ...

Hi elantan, just read the whole thread - I am really proud of you for sticking with this and managing to cope with all the things coming your way lately. I hope hubby and son can piece things back together - prob comes abck to your hubby not wanting to face up that he was young once, like you said in a previous thread. I guess you reminding him got you nowhere - oh well, best not try that approach again then - or is it? Could get the message through...

Are you logging what you have managed to save as a result of keeping this diary? Would be good if each of your entries had a 'latest DFW savings total' even if it was virtual... have a fab day and hope the laptop is ok!

elantan

eager thanks i really should be logging what i am saving i know it is alot...we are nearly out of debt from a massive £23,000 (although just over £16,000 when i found this site) i save money every month with my gas and electricity etc ...i deff shop more mse ...pigs back i have gotten nearly £30 in boots vouchers which along with my boots points have saved me a fortune...quidco so far i've recieved over £70 but have another £100 plus (nearly £200 but not too sure exactly how much) to come maybe i should sit down and write it all down and see exactly how well i've done ...thanks for the idea

Elantan - my spreadsheets in my sig may help ya - the Frills one already has the Debt Buster built in to it, so maybe that's the one to download?

Also includes grocery monitor chart and Grocery Challenge Section x
