    Morning all

    90p to card :)

    It's better than nothing and 90p less interest they can charge me for.

    Things are going well in the GC still. I am aiming for as many no spend days as possible as have less that £10 to see me until Wed.

    The PPI information I have to wade through is on my desk which is better than the draw it was in so I shall wade through that where I can.

    Might try applying for a 22 month 0% card again this month. It's been a couple of months since I tried and I have closed my loan and Tesco account since I last tried - if I got one that could mean I have all my debt at 0%.

    Morning world

    I had a lovely day off with my DD yesterday and it was lovely.

    Back to work today and plenty to do - that's a good thing as my day goes quicker.

    I feel really unorganised at home atm - I am just SO tired on a night by the time I have the kids in bed, as soon as I sit down I am dropping off. It's making me short tempered and I don't like myself much when I feel like that. I don't suppose other ppl like me much either when I am like that. So I need to figure out how to have a bit more energy on a night.

    Tonight I will try to get the things done that are bugging me the most as that should made me feel better at least. Last day at school tomorrow for my DD - last day of her first year in school. Wow - when did that happen.

    Right, on the financial front I was doing well until last night when I spent £40 on shoes in the 50% off sale for the kids over the 6 weeks. It's a good deal and they needed them however I will have to take £40 from the next couple of months budgets.

    Also I have gone over grocery budget by a few quid - apx £2 so not pleased as I still need w/e and M/T/W foor for next week.

    Off to see what I can pay this morning.

    Morning world.

    I am doing good now. My mood's shifted lol. I am feeling better about things and less stressed even though I have more to do! I have linked it to lady hormones, as things are only getting back to normal on that front 2 years after DS is born.

    So I am learning to cope with all of that again and the stressed moods and tension headaches are def related so I guess now I know I can pre empt them?

    Anyway on the financial front I have had a bit of a moment in realising that I can take out 950 from the 0% card and use that to repay the part of the balance I am being charged 17% on. Make sense? There's a 4% fee but still less than the 17% I would be charged in interest on the balance.

    Make sense?

    Does to me...I think....
