ok so i have read up to page 21, getting there!! i think i need to up date my bit at the bottom of my posts!! need to do new budget and see what/ if i get an over spend this time!! Am not currently doing sealed pot or grocery challenge this year either so should get rid of those too.

so my work has changed a bit - got a new role part time - same place a tiny bit more money. Still ding far too many hours on 2nd job too and dont seem to be getting anywhere at min at getting rid of debt but i am actually going to spend some time on it soon get back on it. I have made some important life decisions recently - and have had to realise some important life lessons - and my health and our marriage and happy life together is much more important than other goals and ambitions I am not wonder woman and can not physically do it all.Prioritising- with myself being near hte top is going to be very hard. Got another appointment april and hoping i dont have to have some more horrid tests!!!!!!

I know and they actually were counting down the days - we have only just had the last one!! and we probably havent recovered from it yet either!! someone else then said oh yes less than 10months away!! I did buy some bows from Mr T for about 10p per pack about 3weeks ago but i use them for birthday pressies too.

need advice on boilers and boiler insurance!!

had a few friends have thier go wrong some with nad some without insurance - no way we could afford 2k if it went wrong but also i dont actually know what type of oiler system we have - i cnat find a thermostat anyway.the house was MOD own previously and hasnt been updated so chances are its very old and likely to go wrong and only thing i know is that i have two boilers behind my fire - but i have no idea what that means!!


Also want to attempt a veggie patch again!! but again i have no idea where to start!
didnt do too well last year though - ended up with a handful of potatos and tiny onions and about 5 strawberries!!!

You could ring a local gas engineer who offers boiler plans and ask for a quote for boiler insurance, see if they can help you sort it out. No need to go with them, but they might give you an idea of what is involved. Also you might need to have your boilers checked and serviced, and you could find out more then.
