    • a tank of petrol (£50)
    • [STRIKE]2 x riding lessons on 15th Feb (£50)[/STRIKE]
    • equine physio (£50)
    • hay (£52)
    • bedding (£60)
    • January school use (£42).

    OK so today I will hopefully be teaching another lesson, to earn £25 :) finger's crossed that the weather holds...

    I now have £40 for petrol as I spent £9.95 yesterday on a necessary veterinary bandage for my horse

    I paid £50 to my friend for bedding, and I have already organised my March spends and included the outstanding amount that I now owe her.

    Together with today's potential earnings, I'll have £45 to go towards horse's physio treatment on Monday 17th.

    Need to find money for hay delivery on Monday now - unfortunately, as we are running low, we're having 60 bales instead of 50 bales, so I will need to pay £62 now.

    I'll be putting more items on eBay today to hopefully raise some funds.

    My other emergency option is to speak to DH and see if I can use some cash from our joint account. This will at least mean that I don't use a CC, which is what I would have done in the past. It's funny isn't it, when you realise how much you have relied on credit to keep going? I'm determined not to fall into the trap again.... even if it is really difficult!

  • Ok so a bit of a dull day today - I'm still at working & waiting to do applicant interviews for our courses starting in Sept, but they're delayed :mad:

    Update for today...
    • Will be a SFD apart from putting petrol in the roller-skate car, as it's virtually empty. Will do a drive-by of our local Morrison's as they are cheapest in the area, before going home (not that I'd make it home anyway!)
    • Took lunch to work - ended up throwing a can of soup in my bag on the way out this morning, which was ok but I started to feel a bit sick by the end of it
    • Will check online banking when I get home
    I've booked into an exercise class tomorrow night, as I really do need to move by body as it's expanding rapidly and I need to stop the spread. No expensive gym fees, but I will be paying £4 to do the class - will aim for one per week and maybe a jog or two in between

    Onwards...
