    Hi everyone,
    still here, going slowly but still going all the same. Have been working out what I want to concentrate on and what I want to save for when my finances and life are a bit more settled.
    Really enjoying being part of this thread but somehow feeling too tired to actually post much.
    Hugs to all who need them.

    Evening
    Has anyone got any exercise clothes lurking they don't use? I have got an adidas top and leggings, nothing special, used condition and put them on ebay for 99p on Sunday, they are already at £2.20 and have 18 watches! All I can think is maybe people are marathon training? And before you ask they are not smelly and it's not a private listing!:rotfl: Off to watch survivors now, although it's getting a bit dark and violent for me but I do secretly fancy Tom!
    Mum to 2 DSs, dog mum, wife full-time worker.
    Keen to live a healthly lifestyle and save money
  • I get to watch footie...great!
    I want a journalism job. I didn't think you could get them on a basis I could use but the one that was posted a few weeks ago really caught my attention...I love writing, and I'd love to be a journalist. I write for so many American magazines and blogs, and I've been published quite a few times, but I don't think it's unachievable...it just doesn't seem to happen for me.
    It would be so useful right now while we are saving, too. Grr.

    Anyways, onwards and upwards, right?
