Aww I feel your pain kitty. I am the worst off I have been in months. I really hope my ex starts paying some maintenance soon or I am will seriously have to rethink my whole repayment plan as I just cannot sustain it as it is. If that turns out to be the case then I will be devastated but I will deal with it. My budget is too tight just now and is having an adverse effect on our lives. I'll see how it goes next month.

I have walked 8 miles today and had no idea just how bloody sore your feet could get :rotfl:. I'm scared to stand up :eek:.I am heading out t:eek:o a party as well ut the dancing shoes will need to stay off my feet tonight or I will end up in a wheelchair.
I cannot wait to get this month over folks. Not one payment of my cleaning money has gone towards my debt and I am annoyed at that. I need to get uber organised next month and sort myself out.May is not an expensive month for me normally so I need to sort out my finances.
I'll try and catch up tomorrow when I have some more time xx5 Year plan. April 2020 to June 2025- CC and mortgage free by time I'm 60

Naughty !! Me ??? Never :rotfl:
Been busy tobe honest. DD finished my kitchen and I had to scrub it all as she was a bit splashy with the paint. Been out walking a fair bit too so not a lot of time for on here.
Looking forward to the weekend. I am going to declutter hugely and get stuff for selling. I will have a car boot soon and see what I can get for my tat.
Lost another 3ls this week. The walking is definitely boosting my weight loss so I am very very happy with that. I am down below what I was a couple of months ago and I am delighted with that. I am the lightest I have been in a few years so all very positive. I went walking with 2 friends last night and in the middle of the walk there is a very steep hill. Last time I walked it I had to stop twice and I swear I thought I was going to have a heart attack. Last night I was ahead of the others and I wasn't the one who made us stop. I was delighted.
Money still mega tight and will be for a good while yet. I am not going to overpay this month until I get to the end of the month as I need to catch up. It will set me back a month on my DFD but I can't handle the stress at the moment so minimums only for me. I had a call from CSA today and looks like earnings arrestment will be going in place for ex @ £32 per week. I will use every penny of that if I ever receive it :rotfl: and get back on track. Life is just so expensive just now :eek:

HI MIT I am the same however next month I have a little more to put towards debt and I need to sort it.
Kittycat I hope you are ok drawing cash on a credit card isnt the best way to be on - its really expensive borrowing that way.
Well done on the weight loss, I am just eating way too much.Trying to shift that debt!0 -

MIT wanders in hoping no-one's noticed her absence
. Not been bad ( well not too bad) just nothing much to report.
Hopefully having decided on minimum payments this month I will catch up a bit. Everything is okay so far and I will do my best to keep it that way.
I have lost 1 stone in 4 weeks and have walked about 28 miles each week. I am so happy with this achievement. I really really need to buy some decent trainers though as mine have absolutely zero support and my feet are sore. I walked for nearly 7 miles tonight. Lovely walk along the river with my son and then a nice walk around the countryside and park with my friend. Glorious night so it was very enjoyable.
Am heading out tomorrow to a musical review with my daughter and her friends. It's a local singing group but they are always fab and are doing songs from the west end shows. Nice wee Italian for dinner. I have money from my savings account that my friends and I put into every month but I am paying for DD. I have so much to look forward to over the summer and I cannot wait. My wee Mum died last summer so my entire holiday period disappeared in a haze of grief and I am looking forward to some nice relaxing times this year,
