Feeling low today. Tired and fed up but I know it could be much worse so will perserve. I have it great compared to some.

Spends so far are lunches and Diesel so money in purse not touched. Not long to payday!!

Sorry you feel low KP. You have come a loooooong way in a short space of time. You're bound to have ups and downs.
Hope you feel chirpier soon.
Glad you and OH are on a better footing. It makes things easier doesn't it?
Take care

Back home and just eating dinner so can put feet up and watch judge judy

. Spent 2.04 for dinner 99p fish cakes 30p 2 choc au pains and 75p mash. Got 28 cash back and not 30 for Avon 1)for change and 2) that hopefully 2 less that will disappear from my purse!

Visit didnt go too bad in the ned. Last time I went I had to go back the next day. Not close either at a 4 hour round trip.

Managed to get two reports done today so just two left after tomorrows visit. My cousin and Aunt visited just now. Great to see them. Talked about Mum though and it sounds like things are the same if not worse

. Looks like the drink is winning and now she is lying even more and whats worse possibly spent my sisters money :mad:. I cant do anything about Mum but I think I need to step up and help my Sis.

Cash wise spent £6.30 on take out - spent tonight clearing the flat so no time to cook. Spent £2.30 in the shop and £3.30 on lunch so not great.

2 days to payday.

Sorry to hear things aren't good with your Mum again. You have to do what you feel is right and offering your sis some help sounds like a good idea.
Keep well.

Well going to see Mum at some point this week ans see Sis with her next Sat.

Payday been and gone. Need to do a budget for the month. So far paid off £200 holiday deposit and catalogue I had put on the cc. That should now be down to 0% until feb next year. Total debt if I take off the 2800 ish OH and others owe is £14400. All on fairly low interest but the figure is still :eek:

I still have some of my bonus left so need to budget so it doesnt get wasted. Also have the £150 10 year service award to claim. Really need to not mess this up as I usually do.

Took DS to town today to trade a load of his old PS2 games. Managed to get 7.70 for 18 games. Traded it for a DS game with a small top up from me so hes happy. Also slipped in an icecream as well. The girls are always out with their frieds so he gets a bit fed up.

Another busy week but should be fun. Out twice next week :beer:

Right brand new snazzy spreadsheet set up. £405 left in savings that i hope to keep and add to each month.

millionaire_in_training · 28 March 2011 at 8:17PM

Savings ?? What's that ?? :rotfl:Good for you. Think we both had a bad week last week . I was flatlined!! Back on board this week though and hopefully you are too x

Keeping_Positive · 28 March 2011 at 8:45PM

Well I say savings but most if not all earmarked for the holiday and annuals bits such as birthday pressies.

Spent £40 in Argos today as I had to finally give in and buy an ironing board and iron.

Too many ok days and down days at the moment. I just want to be able to stick to a budget something 4 years into my DFJ I am still fighting a losing battle with. Its good to see you are back on form though MIT. I can see that Argos debt on its last legs now!
