Sorry I've not been in touch Adrian

Been on holiday then had a crisis....so was in hospital on Wednesday night and was too sick to get online yesterday...

Medics been fab though :j....

Love my medics...hence I bake for them

So nice just to be sitting here doing evening routine...Pray I can read later....

And I put £173 on the macbook on Tuesday when I got paid....:money: and will put another £80 on (including schedule HP payment) next time I get paid so optimistic I can stay on track and get it clear by the end of January (if not the end of december ). Then onto the overdraft...:)

But whether I go on a cheap break away abroad when I clear debt or whether I get new kitchen stuff (could really do with a new washing machine though it's not urgent) we'll see...I am not confident going very far right now after what happened...

Hey Adrian, you're a busy bee aren't you?! Sounds like life continues to be on the up and up.

Erme, sorry to hear you've been unwell but I'm sure your medics appreciate your baking :-)

Hi sick as a chip and Erme love your posts things have been a little pants the last 24 hours i have gone back to my old spending ways just blowing cash having no regrets and once i have done it i have realised and started to feel guilty, i have spent £38 pound on fireworks and £70 on items for my daughters eighth birthday on monday but i do think and to be practical i will put away a few items for christmas never mind i suppose it has learnt me a lesson and i will move on lesson learned

Erme

Och you know I do that all the time Adrian

You need a what if fund for these whoopsies...

They will happen with the illness .. Best be prepared and have some money aside for them

Hey Adrian, don't beat yourself up about it - the bigger picture is that you've made amazing and brilliant positive changes and this is a small blip. Also, it's your girl's birthday, don't stress about it, maybe think about what you might do differently in the run up to chrimbo and ENJOY the birthday :-) (it's not like you've just been down the bookies or to your local dealers with the money!!!)
