Sorry you're feeling a bit down BB, but at least you do have the £100 and aren't short that much. You are an enterprising woman so I'll sure you'll come up with a plan but I'm just sorry you've been put in this position :grouphug:.

What a wet day! Yuk!! I just want to have a warm bath and stay indoors but ds has a swimming lesson at 5.30 so we have to go back out in the cold and damp

Spends today = 60p on a cake at school, £1.60 on birthday card and I also need to get some milk and bits when we go swimming.

Nothing much else to add at the moment, oh, I am going to the xmas meal after all; a friend at school owed me a tenner, so she thought she'd surprise me and pay for my deposit for the meal with it as she knows I love to go each year Never mind, I'm sure I'll love it anyway

Swimming wasn't a great success; ds doesn't cope with change and being in a new group without his friends is not going well so far.

Spent £4.60 on the way home on bread, milk, biscuits and a bit of choccy

Sorry swimming wasn't so good - my two go to swimming on a tuesday too - my son does great but Sophia behaves like a 5 year old and I can't bear to watch as just want to get in there and sort her out lol!!

And don't feel guilty about the choc - it's a necessity!!! xxxxxx

Evening all Tonight I want to get some jobs done, I need to get on top of bits and pieces again so I feel more in control. So far since I came home I have hoovered through (apart from the lounge), done one load of washing and got it out, loaded the dishwasher and tidied all rooms except the lounge.

For the rest of tonight I want to; make some cakes, have a bath, tidy and hoover the lounge, sort out the kitchen cupboards, clear my email inbox yet again.

Spends today = £1.50 on s ticket for the school disco for ds.

Blimey - you do all this after a day at school?! It's all I can manage to cook dinner:rotfl:

Its unusual Milly, I don't normally achieve anything after school However I am pleased to report that I have made some rock cakes, had my bath and cleared my inbox The other bits may not get done tonight after all, I may have an early night with the laptop instead as its cold

Evening everyone
Another call from the csa today to say they can't get hold of him and have now sent him a warning letter and if he doesn't respond to that within 7 days then it gets taken to a liability order

In better news though I have £31 waiting to be paid out in quidco :j For now it will go into the holiday fund until I decide what I'm going to do with that. One idea I have come up with is stopping paying £50 into my isa each month and instead keeping that money to top up my monthly money. Its not ideal as I liked being able to add to my isa each month but I do need to do something to stay in the black

£5 profit from a gsmes offer, another bit to chip into the pot

£19 / £100 - holiday fund
[STRIKE]£3 - mortgage pot[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]£65 Take That[/STRIKE]
The Plumber (£20 in the pot)

You sound like you have an obsessive approach to finance which I envy! Give me a list and I'm off, you can't beat a good list. Unfortunately my list usually involve spending. Any advice gratefully received
