Starting Again

well you know. The car failed its MOT, needed the handbrake sorting so tomorrow is in for a retest.

Another bad thing is tax credits, we no longer get our 7 pounds a week, boo hoo.

And my child support is lacking but hey. positive vibes and all that!

Got a new childminder, and its going to be 200 a month cheaper there, too.

Husband gets a payrise this month, so thats another 150 a month.

Hmm there was something else...
oh yes.we can both purchase childcare vouchers so that should save us 75 pounds a month. I am going to sign up for mine tonight.

All go. Hope everyone is ok. The dog who had the stroke is doing famously. She was trampolining again with my son yesterday.

So much good news - the savings on the mortgage, childminder and hubby's payrise!:D

Fantastic news about the dog too, all sounding good K xx

one step froward and 2 steps back. Welcome to my world but we just need to turn this round to 2 steps forward and an odd one back

This is how it goes, although the car has passed its MOT its meant that my previously cleared Capital one card is sporting a balance. Nevermind. I shall chip chip away at it but I have other fish to fry first!

Today I am at work looking at the rain out of the window. Last week on holiday was marvellous, and I am off again at the end of the month. Managed to successfully sign up for the childcare vouchers, which is going to help us massively.

Sold another 40 pounds worth of ebay this weekend, steady away. Although out of that I need to take some money for postage bags and the postage which the husband owed me from last week. But still, not bad.

No news as yet regarding the right to buy stuff, hope the housing association keep to the plan and let me know SOON!!

Morning Skint,

Lovely to see you ploughing away still and I hope you are feeling ok these days.

Although we all have different situ's - I find it comforting to know we're in it together - virtually!

yes of course. I need to do my totals really. I am not very good at doing those!

However I want rid of AMex and Vodafone at last, and then I will really feel like I am making some progress!

Well done for moving to being a 2013'er I will try and make a push to get there too!

its getting better, slowly but surely! one day at a time and all that!

Hope to hear back about some PPI soon. My ex husband was repaid the mortgage PPI so thats dead in the water.

Pfft!

Hi Skint, well done on continuing to tackle your debts, you are doing fab. I fell off the money saving bandwagon but am proud to say, i have given myself a strict telling off and started a new diary.
