    snaggles your totally right ...even though we dont know each other it does become a family (well ok not like my family were we all dont talk and dont like each other) a close knit community and people like yourself and the maccas (very lovely offer ) make it more special

    Hi IA,

    I just wanted to agree with what everyone said above - you are doing brilliantly and you are not a bad mum - you are a caring, loving mum who is doing the best for her family.

    P.S. I noticed that your figures above didn't add up (in a good way!) - you have £10 more than you thought!

    we have..
    £66.90 in bank
    £432 wages that should go in tomorrow (That's stressing me out as well.)
    = £498.90

    Minus...
    £112.05 food budget
    £20 petrol budget
    £60 for ste's lessons and test
    £165.04 for bills
    £9.80 to replace food money used from debt account
    =£366.89?

    Leftover - £132.01/ 21 days (3 weeks) = £6.29 a day or £44 a week.

    Have a lovely birthday for your daughter and enjoy your new tele! I think you are doing brilliantly!

    Sarah you are not a bad mum-your completely the other end of the spectrum.
    You are working so hard to give your girls a secure future.

    Please dont be so hard on yourself. As others have said A wont really remember this party but she will have a great day regardless.

    I hope you are ok xxxxxxxxxx

  • Hi immoral angel, havnt you got any clubcard vouchers from tesco to pay for the safari park? I see that you are from staffs, so are you go to the west midlands safari park? if so you can pay for it with your tesco points if you exchange them for clubcard deals.
    I dont shop at tesco but bought some off ebay and it will still work out half the price i would have to pay if i was using cash!x

    Have a lovely day there anyway x

    Hi Sarah
    I read your diary every day and I really feel for you at the moment 'cos you feel so down and upset. I know how it feels to feel like you are a bad mum - its the most horrible feeling in the world - but I echo what the others have said - you are truly an inspiration and a great Mum - you're doing so very, very well in paying off your debts so quickly and are coping much better than I would with two children under 2 - I'd be going around the bend lol!!! Also, you are still managing to sort your finances out despite the children - I have no idea how you do it - my head would be spinning.

    You are doing whats best for your family and making them your first priorty and thats got to be commended :T Ashli will have a lovely birthday - I know she will because she's got you and thats all she wants.

    Take care
