    Catching up with friends is always good...I love a good catch up.
    As for your OH can't help there as I'm fully in control of the money here so don't have these problems but it must be so hard when you have someone working against you.

    Well debt not moving far my current total £17198 although if i include partners it is a whopping £20418 i think DFD is probably going to be in around 20 years if not longer. Feeling deflated really need to get back on track.:(
    Have 32 more work days at current job then in Sept start a fresh start. Hope i can make a dent in my debt before then hoping to get total debt down to £17000 by Christmas fingers crossed.

    Well have had a very expensive month not been on site for ages. Think why i have allowed spending to escalate, going to have to come back daily.
    DS been to London on a trip needed clothes shoes trainers etc not good.
    Made payments to cc's today one job done need to now get house in order.
    Annoyed checked bank first time in long time and mortgage company amended my dd to reflect my over payment. Not happy.
    Hope everyone well.
