  • Hello :hello:

    Im still here just plodding away. Job going well I can actually feel my brain working without the usual fuzziness and strain of the stress I was under. Almost feel like a new person. Home and family also good but vant quite get to grips with money management and weight. OH and I are working together on the money front which seems the fist time ever so it can only get better not any worse.

    I would post more often but still feel a bit of a flop becase this is a money saving site and Im rubbish at it. Can spot a good deal but still not monitoring things enough so overspends quite easy to do.

    Good to see you are still plodding too Dizzy the spends to date look great. Hope you and family all well xx

  • Thanks KP hope all is well with you and yours too.
    Oh that's good to hear regarding the job :) I'm sure in time everything else will work out, especially now you're in a job that you're happy in. You've come a long way in the past few months, it can only get better now.
    Take care

    Hi

    I cant believe this diary is 18 months old! It has been a strange couple of years but now feel that all of that is behind us now. Work, OH and Kids all fine although kids getting scarily older now 14,11 and 9 :eek:! OH still not well but that's life and we will work together now and not against each other.

    The only thing I haven't been brave enough to do is the finances. Its not good at the moment and in danger of going out of control. So looking to sit down and do a full review.

    My inspriration is you guys on here still working away at your respective targets whilst dealing with busy lives so I have no excuse. I ll start a new more positively named diary soon!

    Targets: be happy but not in denial, have a workable budget oh and have a lovely budget wedding next year!!!
