Peonie's journey to smart money management

Woohoo, I've just credited my FD saver for the last time. From next month the money will go towards balancing the books. We've been dipping into the savings a bit too much these last few months, Mr P is waiting to be paid and the money we had put a side for the plumber is being eaten into.
Today I really wanted cake and to eat out. Instead I had a few biscuits and cooked a stir fry at home.
One more day and then the weekend. Fantastic.Pots: House £6966/£7100, Rainy day Complete, [STRIKE]Sunny day £0/£700[/STRIKE], IVF £2523/£2523, Car up-keep £135/£135, New car £5000/£5000, Holiday £1000/£1000, MFW #16 £2077/£3120

I've been missing for a few weeks but a lot has been going on. I'm a bit paranoid to write everything down and be outed.
I really need your help. Do any of you work in corporate performance management? I work in a specialist field and really need to learn about it for next week. If you can leave a message; I'll PM you.Pots: House £6966/£7100, Rainy day Complete, [STRIKE]Sunny day £0/£700[/STRIKE], IVF £2523/£2523, Car up-keep £135/£135, New car £5000/£5000, Holiday £1000/£1000, MFW #16 £2077/£3120

I have a job. I am so relieved. These last few weeks I've had to put my all into keeping my job and it's paid off. Mr P and I went out for a few drinks to celebrate. Now we can look forward to our holiday and treatment without the added stress. And, I might be back on the MFW boards a bit more. Yay.Pots: House £6966/£7100, Rainy day Complete, [STRIKE]Sunny day £0/£700[/STRIKE], IVF £2523/£2523, Car up-keep £135/£135, New car £5000/£5000, Holiday £1000/£1000, MFW #16 £2077/£3120

Sorry it's been a stressful time but glad it's been resolved. Enjoy your hols and best wishes for the treatment.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Thanks GG and NG for your messages and MWC and Tilly for your thanks.
My IVF treatment is likely to start at the beginning of December and hopefully I'll have a little embryo implanted back in January. Then I'll finally get to use those pregnancy test kits I bought 13 months ago.Pots: House £6966/£7100, Rainy day Complete, [STRIKE]Sunny day £0/£700[/STRIKE], IVF £2523/£2523, Car up-keep £135/£135, New car £5000/£5000, Holiday £1000/£1000, MFW #16 £2077/£3120
