Evening all
I have been neglecting my diary instead I've been away , working and partying mainly working
So good news is that I absolutely love my new job it's a career that I have done before and I feel right at home again
Tax credits have been Informed and recalculated and there is no difference in payments :T
CSA have text to say money on it's way and it is a full payment instead of half and half :T so off school uniform shopping tomorrow
Had a mad weekend last week Moo was at my mums over the weekend because of me working and it was easier for her to stay there with my
Mum and dad anyway I took full advantage of being child free and danced the night away both Friday and Saturday night
I know not very MSE but it's been a long time since I've been out and to justify it I did not buy a new outfit or did I buy lots of alcoholic beverages . They got bought for me
.
I met a someone on one of theese nights out and exchanged numbers he's text a few times but now he has started ringing me 1st time I missed his call and second time I just ignored it:o
Not sure what's wrong with me! I'm just not that fussed if I speak to him or not. I just can't be ar*ed with the whole thing and getting to know you and dating stuff and the thought of having someone in my life isn't exactly Thrilling . I like my life too much as it is .
My sister can't understand it and says I've spent too long on my own (7years. ) and that I deserve someone and should get to know this guy but I can't be bothered . I mean am I odd ?

Hi Moos Mum
You are not alone. Ive been a widow for just over 7 years, its been me and my dd whos now 8 all of that time, and really Ive made our lives priority. I don't want a man in my life right now. I couldn't face it. Acquaintances is fine, friends is fine but a partner, no. I still miss my dh and it wouldn't seem right the way I feel... As it is when I see friends I often listen to the things that annoy them re their dh and I sometimes wonder if they want to be single!!! All the best and take care..My debts at LBM (2009)Grand Total £161,983.77.(Incs everything, mtge, cr cards, loans)
May 2013 £124,080.27= £37,903.50 paid off WOW!!!!! Well done! There is a guardian angel out there! :AI'm visualising success, debt freeness, and happy days!:T0 -
Woo hoo
I've come home from work to a payslip from new employer so money should be in bank account at the end of the month , it is more than I was expecting however I think I have been taxed incorrectly . I thought that you didn't have to pay tax if you earned under 10,000 or have I made that up ? Even if this is not the case I still think I have been over taxed not sure how to check though !
I'm biting the bullet and going out with this man tonight what have I got to loose .
Will let you know how I get on

Ok so I'm back from my date !
He was nice enough but very "blokey " and a few sexual references
I suppose it's unfair to judge someone after only meeting them once ,he might have been trying to impress he did pay for everything which is always a good sign
although I felt bad and did get in a round of drinks cos that's the type of girl I am .
Now here's the thing I made up an excuse to leave
.asaid I had work in the morning which isn't true and that I better get back home to bed
it I had a nice time and was nice to get out and have a drink but I'm just not sure about the whole thing !
Truth be known I am in love with someone who i can never be with

I get paid tomorrow can't express how excited I am
even though I've been emergency taxed and it's not a full months money I'm still excited .
I have not really been budgeting very well
It's a mix of Moo needing new school shoes and uniform :eek: and some much needed socialising , a date:o and my best friend surprising me by coming home early from working abroad for the last 9 months
Car tax and a few other bills due to be paid tomorrow :eek: but after that moneys all mine :j. Need to sit down and budget . I've got a clean slate ,obviously I still have debt but I can start to pay extra towards it now .
Hope your all wellEmergency fund £0/£300

yay! it must be payday today. enjoy the fun of sorting out your monthly budget (i admit it i'm sad i like playing with my budgets)
You say you've not been budgetting well but at least you know where your money has gone over the last month so that's a start.0
