Lightbulbs, Cookers, Fridges and Cars :(

Dishwasher aswell, all of them have either broken or died over the last 3 months. I was doing so well in May, was focused, meal and budget planning, stopped smoking, felt organised and even positive. Hubby is a good clever man and has dug us out of the white goods meltdown, only one under manufacturers warranty was the dishwasher.
Just feel that sometimes you make some headway and something just pushes you over again. I had a couple of weak moments and reached for the ciggies too. (Been put right on the non smokers support thread ) Lightbulb went out and I felt really low for a few weeks.

Anyway I'm back on the road, chanting, finder/keeping, 20p saving and up for the challenge again.
Been reading through a few threads and amazed at how well some of you have done while I was trying to find my lightbulb switch .:T

Tea anyone ?
