Thank you for the reply it's nice to know somebody care's:)
Of course we do alli. Things will work out...:kisses3:Managed to save £17.69p after going round town today.
Resisted all impluse buy's and got rid of my credit card yestarday. To make way for my drop in income.
I hope all of you are well and best wishes:)
You see... you've made a start and are already thinking on the right lines
When our income dropped dramatically a few years ago I refused to look ahead longterm and just took things a month at a time otherwise I would have been really depressed. I sold loads of stuff on eBay and cut spending to the bone. Budgeting was treated as a challenge. Our income has never recovered even after 5 years so it's now become routine to write down an annual budget to stick to. You can do it girl! :T
