I'm still reading, but can't muster the enthusiasm to post. DH's JSA ended this week and our income has dropped by £295 a month. We weren't coping on the income we were getting before the drop so this has thrown me into a deep low. The small things don't seem to apply when all I can see are BIG red numbers.

I know that's a bit of a defeatist attitude, but I'm having real problems eating, sleeping, working etc at the moment so posting is the last thing on my mind. I will bounce back, 'cos that's what I do.

Aww Sitchy, sending you bigs hugs and I sincerely hope that you find some light at the end of the tunnel. I hope I havent upset you more I just wanted you to know I miss you and your posts, I wish I lived nearer and could help, I dont have much but would do anything I can.

Take care, love

Chrissie

Evening all,

I'm feeling a bit better today, thanks for all your kind wishes they obviously helped! I had a fantastic time last night although I was very naughty & splurged a whole £55 on a hoodie from the merch stand In my defence I have been doing fairly well on the ebay & survey fronts so there is enough extra cash coming in to pay for it, & I have done some googling today & it's not something I could get cheaper online, infact I can only see a blue version online so it seems it is a one of a kind purchase! *Waits for someone to say I still shouldn't have bought it*

Natlie - Thank you when I run out I will try them as they must be cheaper than the Benylin ones I have been using sparingly!
Stitchy - Sorry to hear things are still looking glum Sending lots of positive wishes your way
Mon1o - Nice work on the shoes! That is a bargain & a half

Today I have/will:-

• [STRIKE]Food from stores[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Log calories using free app[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Charge phone via pc[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Check for surveys[/STRIKE]
• Enter comps
• [STRIKE]Check online banking[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Try & keep the heating off/on low if needed[/STRIKE] (my new hoodie is super warm btw, haha!)
  
• [STRIKE]Work on wedding related tasks[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Take a look at diary to ensure I am up to date & prepared for everything coming[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Check cashback[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Washing on eco setting using freebie washing liquid[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Hang up to dry[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Catch up with flylady tasks[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Watched Superscrimpers[/STRIKE] - was hoping for some extra tips & got a few, but quite a few were things I already knew from this website!
• [STRIKE]Repaired squeaky door myself[/STRIKE] - usually I have such little confidence in my own abilities I have to go double check anything "practical" with my Dad Was nice to just do it myself for once & it all turned out fine!
• [STRIKE]Listed/Relisted 5 items on ebay & updated spreadsheet for recent sales[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Create meal plan for month ahead[/STRIKE]
• Double check plan is in budget using mysupermarket
• [STRIKE]Dinner from meal plan[/STRIKE] - yummy roast chicken in the oven as I type

Hello I made it through this weekend with only the planned weekly shop, which was £64 as had to do a whole heap to stocking up.
Made a load of cakes and puddings whilst oven was on tonight for week so stocked for a whole week.
Have done the whole end of month sweep and DH managed to get his spare over to the account without major prompting
Should have enough diesel for the whole of next week too so all good for a while.
Now to monitor e accounts to make sure the bank account changeover works!
