    Not alot happening atm, had a cc bill for min of £11, my car still needs three new tyres before saturday at £25 pound each, hope homebuy come and i get a rebate, need it desperately then also need the £45 for the mot. Didnt go to job interview as my passport has gone missing
    thats now my passport, birth cert and drivers licence vanished, so going to get aa copy of my birth cert and reapply to toyota.
    Getting a bit fed of being paranoid and trying to make an effort with people atm, why cant i just focus on me myself and i. need to do something asap about this
    college going ok, got peeved with the lads yesterday but ok today.
    just printed some details off for my ptlls course. will have a flick through later
    still need to rehome my bunnies and learn to chill out a bit more. getting far to stressed
    anyway heres hoping the car passes it mot on saturday that will cheer me up
    citizens advice could not help me with banking facilities they just told me to write a complaint to barclays about why they closed my account, which isnt much help. got all clear from opticians .. my eyes are perfect
    emailed council tax 1 again as still no response, i am keeping all my copies of letters and emails, may need to make a complaint soon
    because i know they will ignore everything and i will have a bailiff at my door soon
    nearly finished college for the day, just snuck on here lol
    happy my sis has got some money from dwp to pay some debts of. she got her budgeting loan which is great, think its better to pay them back then creditors and hopefully she will start to feel better about that
    may need to suck up to my mum for help getting mot done, dont know if i have money for it!!!! grrrr, my fault i thought it was due feb 15th for some strange reason, should've checked sooner

    Car passed its MOT yay.... 5 days later the water pump goes. Its going to cost me £350 to fix this. Januarys been such a rubbish month. Anyway gotta stay focused.
    Back to college tomorrow, was off last week due to a tooth infection that hurt like hell. and still need to sort my birth certificate out, Passport still not showed up. No reply from ct1 so gota go citizens advice again. Keeping up with provident payments and still not heard from homebuy re: optional maintenance cover, did send them another letter so will have to wait a while longer. need to make a to do list again, as been thrown off track by the car stressing me out. And going to phone college tomorrow about the ptlls course as there is one starting in june.

    well had the housing association around theyve done little jobs such as roof and door but no extractor yet, gotta wait for them to get back in touch.
    gotta find a company to buy my phone will look in a mo. paid cc bill of 11 pound as it was all i could afford. still need to sell rabbits, take my old mattress to the skip and the kids bikes if i can drill it into the kids dad that noone will buy them. they are battered.
    also took in another cat, shes not offically ours but she wont leave now, my worst fear is shes pregnant.
    trying to find some energy from somewhere, not happening
    cant wait till i get a job thats worth doing and ill actually be better off doing this time. still need to take clothes to recycle shop.
    asked provident for another £300 loan i would use this to pay off the smaller loan and use the rest to get the car sorted. got a feeling it will be a no though.
    right off to check how much i can get for this old phone. My lovely, beautiful sister is doing music magpie for me aswell.
