Determined to do well !!

Well just been looking for DD a new cossie for her birthday swims at least twice a week and growing so perfect present. I saw the aspire swim the channel challenge. I have looked at it lots of times and never done it yet. Showed DD and she is up for it 144 lengths a week. Thinking I could break this down to 3 sessions a week for me. Going to try find out how many lengths she does in training and then she can just do the extra I think it is a good achievement for a 9 yr old if she can do it. It also allows her to help others as she understands what it is like to have barriers although not spinal ones.
For me it may help with my weight and give me something to focus on other than debt eating and not smoking.....

Well DD party today has cost a fortune hope she enjoys it. It isn't actually her birthday for another 10 days though so have time to sort presents out after.
Back to work tomorrow is going to be a long week I think let's hope it runs smoothly.

Well big day to or DS starts secondary school he is nervous and DD is now going to be in yr 4 scary.
I will have a different time this year I think.

Yippee Friday first week nearly done. DS seems to be enjoying school although not getting up. DD happy also, I think it will take time to adjust for me expectations of others completely different this year.

On money front skint and it is DD birthday on Wed. No presents yet although she had a party. Never mind I am sure I will sort something out.

Omg I can't believe how skint I am this month. I need to sort my life out I have DD birthday as well as my nieces and my mum s all this week not good.
I really need some inspiration on presents and need some money also. My niece has also just got engaged so need a little preside for that too.
Not good why oh why does the world revolve around money.
On a positive note I am continuing to try and eat through the freezer. Xx

Just think...... one day when the debt has gone it will be so much easier to nip out and buy a present..... no budgeting, no calculating if you can afford, no panicking that you can't afford..... I can't wait to be able to just say "Oh that's fine I'll just use some of my savings".
I have never had savings in my life!
Good luck with your gift buying! Hope you find something nice but affordable! :)
