Gona start pulling my finger out!

£19.80 to o/p housing ben, £12 to robinson way. brought loads of stuff today for xmas and for toiletries when i move.

No alot going on. no more payments done yet. No money off the x yesterday, but he said he would give me some tuesday (not holding my breath though)
Keep eating junk which means the diet is not going well, but on a plus note only 5 days till i move!!

Ex came through and gave me £40 today. Paid my mum £20 today. Went out with my mum and spent, which i didnt want to do but will just rein in tomorrow. my son didnt go to school today, because i woke up and couldnt move due to my back hurting but i also wouldnt have been able to push my pushchair through the snow, and the way the weather is going tonight, he might not be going tomorrow aswell.

cant wait to move house, but feeling about down due to the weather and just hopes that it doesnt stop people from helping me out. i really do need my own space. My tenency started today but due to everyone being at work or college, the best time is saturday to move. the ex is going to have the kids on saturday overnight which will help me with time to get the boys beds up and make tthe new house liveable.

I havent been on for a while but thats because i finally moved out of my mums and into my own house with my boys last saturday. And i have not access to the internet. Still paying debts and trying to survive on pennies. Still got my sealed pot.

hey all. i havent been on for a while again but still going strong with the repayments of the debts, still trying (and failing) to lose weight. Still trying to find my prince charming and make my kids happy.

hi Mandz1
just wanted to offer you a bit of support and advice really.

have you contacted severn trent water in regards to your debt with them - they can in some instances wipe your debt off with them.
you will have to provide them with a soa etc and make an application to a charity- but if you are struggling and are on benefits it shouldnt be a problem. ( google it )
and is your ex actually paying you a set amount for his kids on a regular basis . ( after all he is working isnt he? and isnt on benefits like you )
would you benefit by going to the CSA.
however thinking about it they would prob take some thing off your benefits.
good luck with the new house.
and the loosing weight thing.

Hey, i havent been on for quite while, because i have no computer at home so i am at my mothers using hers. payments are still going ok, slipped up on a couple near christmas but they have now been paid. sorted my hb, so thats done. just need to now start gaining some money through ebay or something and trying to declutter the house.
I have brought a cd that i really wanted today, but that will probably be my only treat for the year and i got a few vest tops, that i can wear when i am working out either at the gym or at home. Have to lose some weight as i think that is what is making my feel tired and depressed all the time. will also be carrying on saving in my sealed pot to help towards anything that arises or to help pay off my debt quicker. anyway cant be bothered to write anymore, so may be back next week!

Payments are still going well. diet is still going well, lost 3lbs this week and i am off to the gym in a little bit as i really want to get rid of all my baggage, eg debt and weight. Just downloading songs onto my mp3 to take with me. Payments are all up to date. 2 of my creditors have offered me full and final payment options, but unfortunatley, they are still out of my reach as i can still not afford to pay them even with the discount. just going to update my status as best i can now.

You are doing really well, and getting your debts down, i would definately do what you can to get the smaller ones off
keep going and dont give up, its a hard slog, but you will get there
all the best
