Well got a bad back and legs from walking and doing my wii fit! but otherwise im not feeling to bad!! Nothing paid off debts today, had to buy some milk and cobs for my sons school lunch. also brought lottery tickets for tomorrow.
went to the sure start centre with one of the girls that work there today and she helped me fill out the form to see if my son can get free school meals, she gave me a free bus pass that i can use on thurday when there is a jobs fair in the town centre and i have signed up to a couple of courses there. 1 starts nxt week on thursday and friday to help me with my job searches and cvs and interviews etc and the other 1 starts in november with is a 1 day 5 week course for food. it will help me learn more about types of food, what is healthier and better, plus we may cook aswell. cant remember what else she said about it. lol. plus both courses have a free creche so i wont have to pay for my ds2 to be looked after while im there.

Made a payment of £8 to robinson way. been to mr Ts and had to buy some salad and soup for lunch and sum mini doughnuts that werent on the list, whoops.
shredded some papers that were cluttering up my folder that were duplicates of a couple of the companies i owe money to.
ive asked my mum to pick me up a new folder and some punch hole wallets so i can sort out the different debts and have a little piece of paper in each with the letters saying what is left to pay on them. Then when i make a payment i can cross it out and put the new amount on it. hopefully will motivate me a bit more.

Got 1 thing on ebay that will sell tomorrow and then ive got 3 more on ebay aswell(no bids yet). need to put some more stuff up i think.

done shopping today so should be fine for the next week for food! just about to look on surveys. got baliff coming tomorrow so i can make the £95 payment to him.
didnt win lottery last night
now listening to some music chilling out before dinner has to be made.
sooo bored tho as i cant really go out too much cos it always ends in spending. Need a lovely man that will take me out for dinner and give me a hug when i feel like !!!!!!.

Well i have just been on one of my survey pages and claimed a £10 voucher for argos. may help towards the chrimbo shopping!
speaking of which, i have started today. i brought a couple of things for a couple of people but will still be looking for other things.
Ready for anything lol i wish. just relaxing now watching a bit of television. get paid tomorrow so may have to pay a bit of money onto the debts, but not too much as i dont want to skint myself, im only going to be getting £100 and £35 of that goes to my mum for board.

need to TRY HARDER on the not smoking front. that would cut down my spending a lot.

paid baliff £95 today. Sent off my payment proposal to them about 1hr after he came. If i do it straight away, i wont forget. duno whether to make a £10 payment to a debt now tho.

Asked the ex today for some money because he owes me £20 plus he aint paid me nothing for his kids since we split up. he actually said he would give me something on sunday when he picks the boys up lol. just going to wait and see if he actually does give me something now.

mandz1

Ex gave me £20 today. not alot but at least its something. see if he gives me anything next week. No more money off debt will be paid til at least thursday now tho as i only have about £25 last for the week.
got alot of 1ps 2ps and 5ps to take to tesco tomorrow tho so i will see how much that comes to and then maybe save it for either christmas or to pay off a debt or treat the kids. not sure yet but will have a good hard think about it.
started my diet again today with the help of slimfast. banana flavor as i got 6 tins of it mainly because it was half price so that mean i saved money and i have not reason not to try and shift this stubborn weight that has been holding me back from doing things for all these years. finally sorting my life out has helped me feel better even though it has only been little changes so far. loving it.

Got to keep at the wii fit though to make sure that i am being more active.

still smoking. not a good thing. but everything else is brill!!!

Been on my wii. bidded on some houses. checked survey sites. checked mystery shopper sites. now just relaxing.
made a cake today for my mum and sons and told myself i would not have any, but i did.
paid my pennies into the machine at tesco today and got £15.10 unfortunaley this went on milk, cobs, cheese, slimfast snacks etc. although i did need this stuff for my diet and for my sons lunch box.
dropped my son off at school this morning and got a call half an hour later saying he had been sick so i had to go fetch him. he was fine once he had got home. lil !!!!!!. Also got a letter from my benefits to say that they are taking £19.80 out of my benefits every fortnight for an overpayment of housing benefits from a few years ago, so will need to budget a bit more so that i can survive without it. was my own fault as i should have wrote to the hb people and offered them a tenner a month or something, but at least now it will get paid quicker.

Really need my own place now, cant believe how stressed i always am. Think if i had my own place it would calm me down abit. i could do what i want when i want, have friends round and just feel a bit more free. money probably would be tighter, but its better than sitting here every night wishing i could be in my own house. i stress too much and cant seem to be happy at all.
