Well havent been on for a few days, i have sent off all ebay sales, i have been cleaning like mad and i think i have only made 2 payments towards debt, 1 to capquest and 1 to the council. I have had a really good week so far. Had a friend over on monday, which was funn and he always makes me laugh so it made me feel abit better.
I have also weighed myself this morning and i have lost 6lbs this week.
I am still waiting on the last bit of money that my sister owes me, so as soon as i get that i can pay off cabot.
House still looks a mess however much i clean it up. I am still writing my to do list everyday, and i have done about half of the list already today.

Good morning,
Today i have got to start sorting out a budget for the next 2 weeks, to keep me spending as little as possible. i have already done a shopping list, which hasnt got much on it so shopping should come under budget.
Need to really put a big amount on the electric as it goes down really quick and if i put a fair amount on the key then at least i wont run out when im skint. Need to sort out all the money that is going to cabot. so need to sort out a budget to factor in a big electric payment and cabot money.
I have to make a payment on wednesday to ct1 and 2 also and have 2 minimum payments to make before the end of the month. But i do want to pay off as much as i can with any spare money i have.
Right better go and sort out what money i have and what i will be getting before payments are due.

I have been food shopping today, so should be fine for food for at least a week. I have sorted out some money for my payments to ct1 and 2 for wednesday. Just need to sort out the money for cabot and the other 2 payments i need for the rest of the month.
I have only put £10 onto the electric, i did want to put more on but didnt want to leave myself short for my f and f for cabot.
Just going to check out my bank and my money jar and write down some numbers. again. how boring.

YAY!! I HAVE PAID OFF CABOT FINANCIAL. Good riddence to bad rubbish. Only about 8 more to go.
Been a busy day and will probably be a stressful day tomorrow.

£5 paid off the capquest debt tonight.
Have really ate too much today, i will have put weight on this week.
The kids are at their dads tomorrow, and i have to go and pick a few bits up as this morning, my very cheeky 21 month old decided to put 6 toilet rolls down the toilet and empty his baby wipes out so they dried up. So do need to buy some more toilet rolls and wipes tomorrow.
Havent really got much money this week and what i have got has to last me till thursday and then i will be paying at least 2 more payments off some off my debts.
I have to pay ct1 and ct2 on wednesday, but i have put that in a jar so that i dont spend it as i cannot miss a payment to them as it is with the baliffs and if i dont stick to the repayment plan then they will come round.
I did empty my penny jar the other day and bag it up. There was £9 in shrapnel and £20 in £2 coins. That went towards the cabot debt. I am so glad i have paid that off, not bad to the start of the year that i have already got rid of two small debts.
I am hoping to pay off at least 2 other debts by the end of the year. I am determined that this year will be my year.

I have £10 to last me till thursday now and i need electric, fags, juice and bus fare. Think i may have to take my wii or laptop to the !!!!!! shop tomorrow, may be the wii more than likely. Cannot survive without electric.

electric is sooooo expensive, have you thought about changing your provider? im with southern electric and they are quite cheap
however you could always do a comparison on a comparison site
also have you thought about asking your lanlord if you can have the meter taken out and then just pay your leccy bill when it comes ?

Well today havent really been out, been cleaning the house all day. did go to the shop to pay ct1 and ct2 and pick up some milk.
But today has been a busy day, i have cleaned my bathroom, my bedroom and living room, even though the living room looks a complete mess again. Need to get a little bit of shopping either tomorrow or friday, and will be paying some more bills tomorrow. My sister is hopefully coming up to take some wood from an old sideboard to the tip for me, shes a good un. That way i can move all the kids toys to where the sideboard used to be and it will make the living room look a bit cleaner.
I need to get my eldest son a new coat on friday as i have had to chuck his old one away as it was all ripped down the side. He wasnt happy this morning when i told him i had chucked it in the bin as he wanted to wear it to school. Its his last day at school tomorrow before half term and they are having a dress up day as characters from traditional books, but unfortunatley i do not have anything he can go as and i couldnt afford to buy him anything today so he will have to go in his uniform tomorrow.
hopefully tomorrow i can go out for a bit as my youngest son gets really bored stuck in the house all day so may take him for a walk, which will probably mean i will end up spending some money. Oh well.
When the weather gets better, hopefully me and my mum will be doing a car boot to get rid of some stuff, clear her garage out out and make us some money.
Just over £30 on onepoll so just under a tenner to go before i can pay out on that. will either put that money to 1 of my debts or save it for presents for birthdays etc. Got my tesco vouchers through the other day, which was £9 but i am going to save them throughout the year for when i definatley need them, eg: christmas.

Yesterday i paid my monthly payments to daniel silverman and welcome, so that is probably me done for this month as i dont think i will have enough money to make any more payments. Gota go out today with the kids and buy my eldest a new coat. he says he wants a pink one, hope i can change his mind when we get to the shops.
