Girlatplay, Thank You for reading and posting. Glad its not just me with the strange feelings :j. Ill keep fighting it. I said in previous post that I had fought getting out another loan. Well just had a thought. I have gotten through to pay day without it, so I cant have been desperate desperate. Wonder if I was just wanting my debt feeling back !!!!!

Adrisco, Bl**dy cars, arnt thet just money pits. But we get sooo used to them. My car tax is due end of this month. We are only getting 6 months, as I hope to use my Christmas work money to buy a smaller car. Not a new one of course.
DD are spats about her money issues ? Hope its does not turn out too stressful x

Re DH job, lady rang him back today, he has to ring her back when we return from little hol, to go in and see her.

Been out to local little town, pay in the bank and only spent £10 :T. Got receipts for everything and now going to load then into my spending app.

Forgot How therapeutic it is to be able to spill all and chat openly on here. Thank You all for your fabulous support :A x

Provident lady did not arrive for her payment yesterday. I pay her 4 weekly, as i get paid. So must show great restraint and put it away and not spend it and think, Ill pay double next time !!!

Starting my packing for my Little holiday today. Taking packed lunch for coach as NOT paying service station prices :eek::money:.

Sun shining here, hope its shining for you too.

Thank You for reading

Good idea taking packed lunch on coach. Think OH and I will do that when we have our next coach holiday. Have wasted a lot of money buying coffee and sandwiches at service stations - have kept saying "Never again" but we have! Am hot and cross just thinking about it. Enjoy your break. Will be hearing about my mum's holiday later today. She tells me every little detail - takes a fair while! OH's eyes glaze over - but as he tells me, we should be thankful that she "still has all her marbles" as he puts it.

phew.
just read your WHOLE diary! have squiffy eyes and a crick in my neck,but had to read on!
well done on what you have achieved so far,its fantastic.
sorry things are still hard though,please stay strong.
£11 till thursday?
go through cupboards/fridge/freezer, make up a meal plan around what you already have in,and just buy the essentials?

do you ever buy online?goods/clothes/ebay/insurances etc? have a look at https://www.topcashback.co.uk it really does add up over time,there is also the "no-spend" cashback you can earn.

keep on keeping on,you are doing so well:)

Hiya Asparagus and Thank You so much for reading the WHOLE of it, that must have taken a while of your time, thank you so much for that. I will defiantly check that out thank you for that information.

If I am desperate I can go to mam to borrow, but she has bailed me out so many times. Glad to say I do not owe her any money as I always pay her back. But in the long run that is not teaching me anything.

NS day today, as we always go to mams for Sunday lunch. DH is very understanding and if I say there is no or little money, he is fine with that. So no pressure there and no kids to feed or sort out.

Nice and sunny as I type this so will go and sit in my lovely little garden and be thankful for my health and a roof over my head !
