Been MIA!!
Things are slowly getting back to normal, I have booked a date with DH on Sunday to go through the budgets and discuss priorities...Rock and Roll!! So hopefully we will be back on track soon.
DD1 is no longer crying going into school but she is adamant she don't like it! She did come home talking about the boys having separate toilets to the girls and banned DH and DS1 from the downstairs loo, it's now girls only! I have booked her into pre-school for 2 afternoons a week, the staff at the pre-school go to collect her after dinner and she seems much more settled with this. Now to combat the fact she won't go to bed since starting school, we have told her she can re-arrange her bedroom at the weekend however she likes. She has decided she wants the beds to be put as bunk beds and she will be having our sofa and small TV (we have been given a new to us sofa from my Aunt). We just need to see if we can get a chest of drawers and a rug.
I don't think we have enough money in the budget for any over payments this month so will need to check for my £10 CSA money and sell what we can.Total DebtLoan [STRIKE]£2500[/STRIKE]£2284.97
[STRIKE]£10350[/STRIKE]£9734.97
[STRIKE]Wonga £400[/STRIKE], CC1 £200, CC2 £250, Loan £5500, Overdraft £1500

Welcome back hunny! Glad to hear DD is a bit more settled, it makes life easier for us mums too if the little ones are happy.
Thats good you have a date sorted to go through the finances again, its always good to step back and look at where you are with things.
I wouldn't fret too much about the overpayments, so long as you have enough for the minimums, thats the main thing.
Have a good weekend

Evening little miss
I am glad to hear DD is a little more settled. It isn't nice to have to leave them upset.
As long as your minimum payments are met you are okay and can plan for next month.
A date night to discuss the finances may be a good idea for hubby and I. Ill see what he thinks!
