    All plans have changed we are not going home for the weekend mainly as I already have something booked in for that weekend but also because the reality is it wouldnt just cost £100 in flights.
    Feeling slightly fed up trying to making ends meet this week, I have to put petrol in the car today only have £20 and im not sure that will get me to next Tuesday morning no plans for the weekend so hope it will be fine.
    I am making a late new years resolution that I wont be in this situation next year I will plan for this long month no more fretting if I can afford petrol.
    Off to grab something from the freezer for tonights dinner then work for me half way through the week roll on the weekend I have had enough this week already

    Sorry to hear you're feeling fed up HWG, hope that the weekend comes quickly for you x

    Quick question on your amazon sales - do you sell just normal fiction books or are they more specialist?

    Trying to work out if I would be best selling mine on there or on Green Met!

    Thats some holiday 28 days wow and you should have lots of surplus cash to book a few cheap holidays.
    When I see what i pay to debts every month if I clear the debt this year I could afford to have a holiday abroad every month going forward, just need 60 days holiday a year to take advantage of it LOL
