    I know my update is early but I really don't think I'll pay any more off this month now.

    Looking at the figures it seems January was my best month and July was my worst month.

    Average monthly payment was £416.68 (those 2 high months really bumped up the average didn't they?)

    Now I need to do it all over again next year. Wish me luck x

    Well Happy New Year everybody.

    We did stay up but only accidentally. Kiddies stayed up quite late then by the time we had put them to bed we decided to have a cuppa and watch a DVD. Before we knew it we could hear fireworks and it was midnight. We certainly didn't plan to stay up. :o

    We've had a busy week since Christmas. We drove up north to visit in laws and saw some friends we haven't seen for a while too. :)

    While we were there I got quite a few texts from someone who I thought was a friend. :( I can't really go into it but basically I called her out on something that she didn't like so now she is trying to make my life difficult. She has been attacking me professionally and personally, dragging my kids into it too :( Seems that I was good enough when she wanted me for things but now..... well I'm obviously no use to her anymore. :( I know that what she is saying is lies, and I know that the whole thing is so ridiculous it's laughable, but she has hurt me so much. If she didn't want to be my friend anymore then why not just distance herself?? Why do this?? I spoke to my bosses yesterday to let them know what she is saying about me and they are behind me 100% so that is a relief. But the whole thing has sullied my new year. :( I was so ready for another chance to clear the final bit of debt and really sort ourselves out and now I just want to curl up in the corner and not come out. :(

    I'm sorry that I am letting it all out here but I really have no where else. DH keeps telling me to forget about it and my mum has obviously tried to make me feel better. But because of my work situation, a lot of my friends cross over into my work so I have to be careful what I say as I can't be seen to be bad mouthing her. I can't even get the whole story out here in case I am "outed"

    Normal sevice will resume shortly I promise :o
