    Postman delivered letters look ok just need man to come home and pay them. Yippee so then will just have one left to pay. The day I am free can not come soon enough.
    It has been a very long week I can`t wait 4 wks left until half term not long. DD back at school on Monday only a 4 day wk but I think it will still be hard for her. She is still not allowed to go swimming bless her much to her disgust.

    Well finally got a swim in today :j DD been to gym today she struggled bless her. I am now back to 3 jobs:(
    I have put on so much weight it is unreal I must and I mean must sort my life out. Smoking has yet again been happening so am on day 3 once again. Got zero nicotine patches which are to be kept on 3 days but come off in the pool. Other than that seem good.

    Well I have had a short swim tonight 20mins but better than nothing. One debt left feels good fingers crossed they will take a reasonable settlement figure for this soon. My man paid at lunch time so they have repayments. I actually thought I will possibly write next month and offer them 40 % for that one.
    I need to look into some more challenges. I have budgeted for £35 this week to spend including dinner money. Forgot I had a birthday at work to put in for lol. So I have £7 left in my purse and £5 left in the bank. Fingers crossed I can stick to it. Nothing I really need maybe bread and milk.
