Hello all! :j

Well I finally have my netbook back up and runnin (oh how i missed it!!)

My doggy is 1 today :bdaycake: so I have a house that smells of pilchards at the moment as I baked him a cake :rotfl:

Have I missed anything important???

I'm still on the dmp with the CCCS and still not paying very much, am quite enjoying the extra money tbh! I have come to a few realisations along the way and one is to stop struggling all the time just to pay creditors an extra £10 a week!

I've also had a few realisations about food budgets etc. Whilst i was doing well eating for very little, the food we were consuming was low quality & making me ill. I have recently cut out asp@rtame from my diet and i feel so much better for it! I've lost half a stone by switching from diet products to full fat- go figure eh! I spent £90 on my weekly food shop this week and nearly everything was organic. It can be done.

My eldest son is home from boarding school- for good! We all had enough in the end and that was that. No sense in living a life because of how others think you should live. Do what you like so long as it hurts noone else

I may be moving soon to Sunny Wiltshire (am hoping it is sunny there anyway, Essex is awful at the mo lol)

My youngest starts school in September and whilst i have secured a place at the school here (which is hard enough work) hubby comes home and tells me he wants to move- argh! DS1 had only just come home too and is at a new school now which he is top of the class and loving it. He's like a big fish in a small pond now as opposed to the little fish in the ocean at the last school. Happy kids = happy mum

Not much else to report. Budgets have changed a gazillion times lately but we always manage and our debt will hopefully, by summer, be below £9k. :T It's a slow, arduous journey but one i will never forget!

I hope all is well with everyone and i will try to catch up with you all

DFW xx

Nice to think DS1 is back and it sounds like its going well for all of you..

Whoever told you Wiltshire was sunny????:rotfl:Has he been there recently? Perishing cold I'd say!! Maybe less so than in the East but hardly the Algarve:rotfl:

Take care and as I said, its great to 'see' you!!
