Hiya JLL, thank You fro reading and posting, fab idea I will mention it and keep you updated.
I am sorted with this weeks main meals. DH does not have a large appetite, so one main meal at tea time and a snack at lunch Is all we would usually have and is even happy with a snack for both meals time sometimes. Thats how he is thin and I am not
Update
Two outfits of dolls clothes done, I have 2 more to do and pushchair, blanket and pillow. Until the end I wont know for definite as I will need to weigh them for total amount of wool used and I need to get some bits and bobs, to finish them off but I,m looking in the region of £20 £25 total cost :j, I knit when watching TV or spare time at work, so seems no effort. Wool as not cost anything as I have wool left off other projects or bought and not used, so guess that bit is cost. Money will go to food bill or petrol, this means I will have more in my purse and not need to renew my one payday loan.
Still just the one. I have not renewed the second one (yet), still hanging on
.
3 things on ebay and 2 people watching two different things
, I did 10 day listing, did not seem to be any extra cost for that ?
Have a good day all you :A people, cant thank you all enough.

You're doing brilliantly

No extra cost for10 day listings. It's often best if you can time the listing to end on a Sat or Sunday evening since more people bid at the end of the listing, and more people are around at the weekend.Mortgage when started: £330,995

I have still not renewed 2nd payday loan and things are getting tight now. Meals planned until Sunday. I will need to find £20 for a bus pass, as my work at the theater which is going to earn me 1200 starts before I get paid !!!.
I have said in previous post that I owe money to by brother and did not want to ask for more. There is No way I am going to get to payday without cash from somewhere. So was thinking if I showed my brother this site and my thread. I might feel better about asking. He has never refused me before but he must think, here we go again.
I have in the past, say needed £75 but have ask for £100 !!! now I realize that was so wrong of me. So thinking of writing down what I need to cover and ask to borrow just that amount. I hope that the fact that I have not renewed my 2nd payday loan and this thread will show him I am trying.

I rang my brother last night and said hello and don't interrupt till I am finished. I explained all of the above. He said well I must say its a great deal different to your usual way of dealing with things. I'll call at the weekend with the money, how much. I said I had not yet worked out how much and he was welcome to come at the weekend but, I did not need money then. I will try as get as far as I can on my own. He said, wow not like you, you usually want it asap, I hope you can get your head around it and get sorted, this time. Apparently I worry him, he is 13yr younger than me and so organized, so embarrassing
. But so will I be soon :j, organized and debt free.
Need petrol in the car today and coffee. I have been walking to work, so managed to eek out the petrol a bit more.
