It was your birthday yesterday???? HOw come you didnt say anything!!??!? Happy belated Birthday Rising!!

Sorry to hear you were feeling a bit down!

Yes, i reckon you should be proud of reducing your number of pots

Hope you are feeling better today?

Yes it was yesterday .... thanks for the belated wishes!:)

Still a bit down tbh - I do tend to go through phases like this so ....... just get a bit fed up (like many) of trying to balance the books and think before buying everything IYKWIM.

I guess it feels like it'll always be like this - although the debts are gone (thank god :T) - being by myself it's really always going to be a struggle not to get back into more debt with just the one income and it gets a bit depressing sometimes.

Sorry .... that's a very down post ..... will "have words" with myself!:o

:bdaycake: Well here is a b'day cake just for you!
No need to be having any 'words with yourself', i can totally empathise with the knowledge that because you are my yourself you will always have 1 less income coming in, and being the only one in the house that has the constant need to think about finances.

Its like constantly jugging balls to make sure you dont drop any.

Yup .... you got it right there Cleggie ...... a constant juggling act - I like that. I guess it also explains my obsessions with the spreadsheets / pots etc as it took sooooooo long to get DF and things are OK but tight IYKWIM and it would be soooooo easy to fall back down again but I'm determined not to!:)

Awwwww, thanks Hovel Lady - honestly, my diary's not worth reading - it goes through phases of being OK then descents into my obsession with spreadsheets / pots etc ......:o
