    Right so i have council round tomorrow afternoon, all day weds and all day thurs. They are doing some work on the cupboard(plastering) and outside slabs.
    Eldest is back at school thursday, and youngest has his taster sessions the week after and then he will start the following week. So need to sort out house and get it tidy and of a reasonable standard, because i have been being slack recently, mainly due to holiday,school hols and just doing the minimum so the house is acceptable.
    Once the kids are at school though, the house should stay tidier for longer. I also need to sort out a gym membership for when both boys are at school so i can get this excess weight off.
    No big debt payments till 11th.
    I have just paid out quite a bit of money for shoes and school uniform, also my trainers have fallen apart so i need to get some new ones, even though the ones that fell apart were only less than a month old.

    Been a while since i updated.

    Kids are back at school adnd i have been slowly trying to get the house clean during the couple of hours i get to myself in the morning. Need to also join a gym or get some exercise done. Only thing that puts me off about joining a gym is the fact that it cost £30 a month, which is a bit too much for me at the moment. And i cant really take up running as that would be embarrassing for me and everyone that sees me.

    Debt is still going down slowly but surely. wish it would move slower than a snails pace though.

    wow, i havent updated for a week.

    For the past 2 days, my sciatica has flared up again and i havent been able to move properly, back is killing and cant walk very fast at all.

    Today i have paid £20 to rossendales, more payments to be made on thursday when i get some money. I also paid my mum £50 the other day for my tv, and will give her another £50 at the weekend. Then there will be no payments to her until after we have been to liverpool at the end of next month, she knows this i have told her.

    House is slowly getting there, trying to do a bit of cleaning at a time, havent do much this week due to my back and will be getting right back into it properly when it stops hurting.

    end of month debt total

    £650 NCC
    £1150 ROSSENDALES
    £2210 D/S
    £4220 LEWIS D/R

    total-£8230

    only paid off £180 frm the debt this month, this was mainly due to going to liverpool for 3 days and needing spending money for that and the kids being off for a week.
    christmas shopping started but not doing well as noone will tell me properly what they want.
