    hi everyone thanks for your replies,
    today has been the best i have felt for a while hence the no posting!!!

    basically ex and his new girlfriend split up so who did he decide he wanted to be with.... ME!!!!
    told him no way he had his chance and blew it so now he is back living with his mum about 2 mins from my house :mad: and is playing mind games. one min he is all nice in his texts, then flirty, then nasty. i have told him to leave me the hell alone and i havent heard from him since yesterday morning so thats good as the texting was constant all day and night :eek:
    got to see him tomorrow when he picks the boys up but i can handle that i just cant handle the mixed signals, mind games etc.

    anyway paid £30 to asda cc today and £10 to hsbc so paid the minimum this month so need to start overpaying as i cant see myself being debt free this year unless i really knuckle down. :(

    i didnt hear back about the job so i take it i didnt get it :(

    Hi there fizzypops. Glad to see you back. Boo hiss to the ex .. and well done for telling him where to go. You are doing great.

    Its good to treat yourself sometimes, you need to feel good about yourself and it all helps to boost the confidence. What colour have you gone for??? :D

    Well done on the payments, dont worry I am sure you will gather momentum soon on the extra payments, just look at how far you have come.:T:T:T

    Take care :A look forward to reading more on your progress soon. xx
