I know that feeling well Abba, I am sure it will be gone by the next few weeks at the rate you are going and then you can focus on savings, mortgage etc.
Have a lovely day xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330
Starting afresh.

Morning
wee one is sleeping so have done my banking sent £10 over towards the barclaycard nearly under another hundred bracket. Have a cheque to deposit so will do that later on my online app and hopefully it will clear tomorrow and this can also get chucked towards the card. Still no payment from the court will phone them tomorrow and see if they have received it ok and ask how long it should take to receive it as hubby's wages will be a day short this week.
it's a busy day today working 8.30am til 6pm then I have a zoom meeting with the council at 6pm to discuss the complaints the association made and then I have the gym at 7pm, This this is my last gym class for two weeks thanks to these stupid restrictions.
also need to try and phone my milk supplier as they say they've been underpaid on my account from the government as I get free milk for my mindees.
Right off to do something productive before my next mindee arrives in 20 minutes xx

I think the powers that be have lost the plot with the new restrictions. I think where I live is about to go into lockdown shortly as the cases have risen sharply since the students went back to the two universities.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)1

morning
woke up exhausted so didn't do the cross-trainer and just grabbed a shower, last nights gym class was brutal.
Sent £8.43 towards the barclaycard so we are under another hundred bracket, hoping to have this card under the £3k by the end of next week. was hoping to fling more but hubby hasn't transferred his house keeping money to me yet.
so this week I have paid £44.59 this week which seems pitiful compared to the previous weeks but it's better than nothing I guess.
Court have confirmed they are processing out loss of earnings claim so that will be getting chucked towards the card when it comes.
Starting late today about 9.45am finish at 4pm then usual blitz of the house ready for the weekend then I have a couple of Avon's to collect so we will walk to those as hubby needs the car as he has a couple of homers.
Money is very tight at the moment only because I'm tackling this card with everything I have as I want it gone then I can start moving forward with the planning of Christmas obviously buying bits i see from now as I have been doing but Abbie wants Ikea vouchers, KK wants a new bike and I have no idea what Xander wants so very expensive I guess.
Right off to type up the minutes I took last night at our zoom meetings before wee one gets here

Afternoon
This is the first time I've been near my laptop this week.
My wee gran has been taken to hospital as she was hallucinating and she has fell some point over the weekend and broke her wrist which she tried to self medicate with paracetamol and aspirin and actually accidentally overdosed on so we got her to hospital on Monday night has been x-ray and splinted. Has had various drips to get rid of the excess medication in her system but she's damaged her kidneys and liver. Got a call yesterday morning saying she took a turn for the worse and to phone my siblings, got there and she's sitting up having some toast so she's defo keeping me on my toes.
Managed to sent just shy of £200 to the barclaycard so fingers crossed college pay me and I can get this card under the £3K mark by the weekend.
I know I don't need to focus on this but it's taking my mind off my gran, she's my mum she has been there for me every step of the way and I can't imagine a world without her in it but I want her to be at peace, pain free and in a great frame of mind as well. So just need to keep busy
