£10 won on lotto last night and £10 on thunderball. that is nicely tucked up in the savings jar and i will not spend it. Dont know whether it is going off the debt or towards holiday money yet.
Need to sort out kids toys, they are doing my head in. theres too many of them and even the kids dont bother with most of them.
Paid another £6 off the debt last night. every little helpsPAD Maker0 -
quick update.
Yesterday, broke one of my teeth. didnt hurt but now my mouth looks bad as there is half a tooth stuck in it. Have been to dentist this morning he has checked it and i have made another appointment to get the last of it extracted.
Weightloss is not going well, the only other thing that gets me down, other than my teeth, is my weight. yet i still cant stay away from all the rubbish, no matter how hard i try. Feel like giving up with it, but then i will be forever depressed because of my weight.
Small payment of £10 made yesterday to the debt. Wont pay anything else now till 19th of this month when i get child benefit paid.PAD Maker0 -
food shopping needs to be done today, already brought gas/electric this morning. Going to try and spend as little as possible.

Also need to remember to get my credit report at end of the month.PAD Maker0 -

Yesterday i ended up strimmer the garden, so now its nice and short.
been to iceland to fill the freezer today. £30.89 - a £3 voucher i had so £27.89. should keep us going for a while. tomorrow will be just fruit and veg and tinned stuff then.
DS2 has another visit to nursery this afternoon for an hour so will be out for a bit.
Also got out money for my phone bill that i need to give to my mum tomorrow.
Another payment made to NCC again today and also lewis DR.
So close to under 9k now hopefully should be under it before my birthday, that would be a nice present.
No lottery win last night
Not doing much today, cant be bothered sooo tired and really dont want to do anything but must take DS2 to nursery for an hour visit. And pick DS1 up later aswell. oh and make dinner and put kids in bath and wash the pots etc etc. these are the days when i need a fella to do stuff for me lolPAD Maker0 -
Not alot been happening recently, just been trying to sort out next months paydays and payments as i need to get some money together for our week away at the end of july, also need to start thinking about things to do in the summer holidays, as cheaply as possible.
Also want to keep up with the payments on the debt. Need to try and have a think about my life because at the minute,it isnt much of a life.
Most of my money goes on bills, debts and food shopping, the ret goes on the kids. I have hardly any social life, my weight is the biggest concern i have but i just cant seem to stop snacking, and i just cant get into exercising again.
The house is nearly at an acceptable level. need to finish painting my bedroom, need carpet for my bedroom and stairs, need some new pans and just need it keeping tidy (i know with a 6yr old and 3 yr old boys, this wont happen, but i can dream and hope)PAD Maker0
