Fresh start for 2011

Hi Abba, i opened a savings account on line to save my £2 aday for Xmas as i never trusted myself not to pinch the cash I now have £84 as i missed putting it in for 2 weeks.

Hi Shelski, welcome to my diary- i cannot see how i will help you much asi am struggling at the moment to help myself but i will support you in your debt busting .

Hi Brizzle, yes i have been quiet. Been feeling really low lately and being constantly skint does not help matters, i just never seem to get anywhere with clearing my debts. I know this is not the case entirely, i am re paying my aunty the loan and will be finished by the end of the year. I just get sick of having to watch every penny i spend.

Felt really guilty at half term not being able to take the DC out for a day, it was really cold & miserable and the highlight of their days was walking the dog. They do not seem to mind and are really good but i would have loved to have been able to take them to the cinema or skating but with 3 kids it turns out expensive.

I still have no overtime at work, was hoping to pick up a couple of extra shifts a month to pay off the CCs, but no luck there.
I am still spending far too much on supermarkets. Have just finished an on line order for delivery tomorrow, did a 6 day meal planner beforehand so hope to stick to that and not need to nip to bloody Sainsburys, i am like an addict in there, go in and buy anything on offer :mad:

Well, what a miserable post, i apologise to anyone reading but i do feel a bit brighter to get it off my chest. Need to nip into my diary every couple of days, been burying my head in the sand again.

On a plus point, it is a lovely sunny day, lets hope it stays

Just awoke from a 40 minute siesta :rotfl:Was putting the ironing away and had the urge to lie on the freshly made bed and had a snooze!! Working nights does mess up my sleep pattern but my last shift was 2 nights ago, so cannot use that as an excuse!

Need to crack on with the tea, cottage pie today. I like to have it ready so can cook when DC are in from school. Will prepare 2 and freeze one for another day as the mince was 3 for £10. Then i can make Jamie Oliver burgers with the other batch of mince. Oh ! what an exciting life i lead..............

:j A little good news... a colleague has unexpectedly given her notice in, therefore work need 2 !!!!!! covering!!! I am able to work Sunday & Monday night as overtime, as these fall in February i will get paid the extras at the end of March :j Horray!!! The extra cash will go straight to paying the CCs. Really pleased as i would only be able to cover the minimum payments.
