Life is nothing without a little treat every once in a while! i never buy myself anything really and its only going to cost about 20-30.

just found your diary

I know it is good to treat yourself sometimes but a tattoo. just think if you put that £20 or £30 to one of your debt you would be nearer debt free. On the postive side you are doing well.
What survey sites are you using because I am going to lots of surveys at the moment.

i only do onepoll and valued opinions.
I have been waiting forever to get my tattoo done and if i dont spend it on myself i would probably spend it on the boys while we are away. i dont know for definate if im having it done, it depends on how much they say it will cost. i just thought because im having troubles with my ex and being so stressed, i might treat myself try and cheer me up. i dont pay to get my hair done, i dont spend money on gym membership, i dont buy loads of clothes (expensive or cheap), i dont go out alot and i dont go on holidays. so i dont think that i should not do it due to money.

I think its true that you do have to feel good about urself. i have my hair done every once in a while and it does make u more motivated and that so maybe really its not such a bad thing
keep going and enjoy urself on ur break x

Well Not alot happening atm. bit skint after going to skeggy for 2 days. had to pay for petrol food rides etc. had a good time tho and it was nice to get away from normal routine for a bit.
Got a letter from a company i owe money to today that !!!!!! me off a bit. i changed my payments from £10 to £40 a month to them and Augusts payment went out of my bank before i had time to change the standing order. so i got a letter telling me if i didnt pay them the arrears, they were going to send me to court for bankruptcy and add additional fees. so i wrote back to them telling them i thought they were very rude and i have changed my SO so it will go through to £40 a month this month and i will ring them nxt week when i get paid. some people seem to think the ruder they are, the quicker im going to pay. how wrong could they be? it makes me slower in paying them.
anyway, other than that, my eldest went to full time school today for the first time, lost his lunchbox but he had a good day.

Cant wait to clear at least one debt, at least then i will feel like im getting somewhere.

anyway, list of stuff to do:-

1. list more stuff on ebay
2. search for a house again
3. sort out boys old clothes
4. sort out payments ready for next tues and thurs

well, done 3 items off my list. not a happy bunny, got my patches today so gonna try the quit smoking thing again tomorrow. my eldest is really playing up at the moment and making me crazy so need to be a bit more strict as ive been nice mummy too long. probably why hes got a bad attitude cos he gets away with everything.
No treats for anyone anymore, cos i know if i can stop buying sweets for the kids and pop for me i could save more money each week rather than being skint.
Got no money for tomorrow so gota find something free to do with my youngest whilst the eldest is at school.

still looking for houses and a job, but nothing in the paper again today. MUST TRY HARDER.

got paid yesterday but not alot so i have paid my mum some rent and brought food for the week got a tenner to last me till tuesday. Tuesday will be an expensive day as i owe my mum money and i have £40 coming out for a big debt.
going to try my best not to spend tomorrow as the boys are with their dad. so im going to clean the house, do some exercise and try and not smoke.

had to buy some milk and ended up buying cigarettes too. watching f1 even tho its just finishing.
feeling a bit fed up. think i need a cuddle.
put 2 things on ebay. really not feeling motivated. think its cos my back is hurting, but thats probably because im sat on me fat a$$.

kids r with teir dad til 6, so may start doing stuff in a bit just to keep me entertained. have done a little bit of cleaning but not enough.

still looking for houses to rent and jobs but theres not alot out there at the moment.
need to get off me a$$ and do something. get my energy up!

off to look at some houses and jobs now.
