Hi LG, how are you?
Everything is fine with me. Couldn't stick to my diet alone so I bit the bulllet and joined slimming world for 12 weeks-£49.50 so not very mse but its making me stick to it so far-(1 1/2 weeks!).
I've decided to use my saved money towards my CC's and ave got some new 0% BT cards so have transfered most of the balance from the barclaycard, whose 0% ends in april, to them. I have ditched my BT line rental and paid for sky 12 months up front. I could've got a slightly cheaper deal but if I've had problems I've been pleased with the service sky have provided and my calls and broadband were already with them.
What else has been happening-its DD's birthday at the end of the week so I'm trying to get on top of things for that. DD's dad is still being an a##e-fancy taking your child to build-a-bear, letting her choose and make the bear, choose an outfit for it and then say you're not taking it home and taking it back to his GF's house. Just downright cruel and shows how little he knows a daughter who is obsessive about her soft toys smelling right which this now isn't going to. I just feel he's pushing her further away without even knowing it all obviously manipulated by the GF-this I feel serves him right but DD suffes and I get stressed about it.
Hoping that I won't use all the saved money for DD's birthday an I can save a bit more.
Found 20p yesterday so need to add that to the sealed pot. Will try to be mse for her birthday without scrimping too much.Helen. Single mum to DD(7) and 2 siamese cats. Trying to decrease my debt and spending and increase my savings and lose weight-30lbs so far!
