    good way to use cucumbers lol

    right since i have now gotten over the shock etc of the holiday spends it is time to face the music

    we got a £7k payout for the stuff that had been stolen ... and the only thing i bought was a new laptop ... yes i would love to get my cameras again at some point but i doubt it if that will ever happen ... and the jewellry well tbh no i wont be replacing that what ever i try to replace it with is never going to be the origona wedding ring etc (although i may got for my ortak stuff again one day as that didnt hold any sentimental attatchement) ... anyway i am bumping my gums ... right so we got the 7k i paid the debt off so we were nearly debt free (apart from student loan and mortgage) yes we have been away on holiday and spent much more than we wanted to and yes son has borrowed some money ... but we have obviously still got a leak somewhere as the overdraft is heading deeper into the red ...

    so while i have the courage (and while i have been watching the bank of mum and dad) i am going to check the bank accounts ddms etc ... i may be some time ... will return with the info

    ok even if i tie my belt really tight we are over spending by over £400 a month ... gahhhh .... i need to get on top of things again ... hubby did it with me though so that was very helpful ... he saw where the money goes and some of the things i said tohim well i could cut that out (like a pension) he said no el you dont have one of them i do we need to protect you too ... something else can go ) ... so when he gets back in (he is at the shops) we are going to brainstorm ....

    Hey El,

    Sorry you seem to be having a rubbish time at the moment. Once you figure everything out you will be back at it in no time!

    Keep your chin up :)
