Thank you all
Well Tenant finally paid her owing rent today (well some of it!) So i've booked a hair cut for tomorrow, she comes to me so only a tenner, also bought a new pair of boots as other ones literally fell apart (was very embarrassing when soles actually fell off on school run- oops!) They were only £19 in sale too -I was good and put the £100 pair back
!
Kids all fed and will put them to bed soon, ds1 and I are watching marchl@ands on dvd atm so we'll watch the last few episodes then I am off to dreamland! I've been going to the gym recently and my energy is zzzzzzzzzapped!!!!!!!
I still haven't caught up on everyone (tut naughty dfw!) and I really do intend to!

Wow, you really seem so much happier these days.
What was the turning point for you? was it working things out with the husband or was it DS being back home? Or was it realising that you wanted to control your money rather than be debt free asap?
I am just curious as to where the big change came, I love reading the upbeat posts. xTrying to shift that debt!0
