    Well done on identifying your goals. That is the first step . You just need to break each goal down into acheivable baby steps:) (((Hugs)) to you being lonely :A . We are all here for you , sweetie;)

    Thank you, hon :)

    Am still mulling it over as to how I'm going to deal with it. But am out to see friends later, which will be nice :)

    Aaargghhhhh how bl00dy frustrating for you - did he speak to you about it first? I really feel for you as it is a difficult situation as in my experience whilst men pretend to listen and agree with budgets they don't fully understand them. Have you spoken to (screamed at) him about it?
    1st debt - Next [STRIKE]£583.32[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]£408.71 [/STRIKE] £0 :j
    2nd debt - MBNA - £6,618.52
    First in many many to go - baby steps and all that!
    First lump sum to go - fingers crossed!

    I have just updated my spreadsheets for my spends. I have totally gone over budget on food for the month and we have no food in:o . As my month runs up to the 16th ... some careful meal planning is required.
