The Toaster Strikes Back!

Speaking of on-line shopping, my beloved C0nverse won't last much longer. I have spied a pair that I like on Amaz0n but I don't have enough vouchers. Thankfully, Sh0p and Scan have asked me to complete a food diary again so I shall have enough in two weeks time. Woohoo! I find the diary tedious and dull but when there are shiny Amaz0n vouchers at the end of it I grin and bare it.

Tomorrow is going to be an expensive day as it is dreaded annual service and MOT day. My car is in good condition but all of the blooming pot holes that seem to be taking over our roads make me fret too much.

Just been looking at the facts and figures. Since being on Mat Leave my debt hasn't increased at all. I will get a final figure tomorrow as my online banking details are hidden upstairs and I don't want to leave my laptop visible to prying eyes. It has decreased but I'm not sure by how much. I'll find out in the morning.

I'd better boggle off and try to set some sleep. Mini Toaster is teething at the moment and I just know that we will both be up at silly o'clock.

Just did my internet banking. When I started this diary, in August last year, I owed just under £5,400. I now owe £5,156.09. This has made me feel slightly better. Obviously, I shouldn't be in this pickle but, as I am on mat leave it could be a lot worse. I did have money put to one side before my leave began and I have got all of my bills covered until I start earning a wage.

My CC bill is just over £800. This is the one I am tackling first. My BL will just tick along until the CC is gone and then that will be my focus along side getting my house straight and replenishing my emergency savings accounts.

I can't do any of this until I have a wage coming in.

In the meantime though, I am busy making lists and ticking them off as I complete them; collecting frugal recipes and testing them; and, Eb@ying. Plus surveys et al.

Well, I am back at work now. Boo!!!!

I must reconnect with mse as I really need to remember who I am. I just feel lost underneath under the mass of responsibilities that being a grown-up brings.

I have zero money until payday in a few weeks as I stupidly blew my first wage following my time off work. All of my bills have been accounted for though so I am not **that** stupid but even that is debatable. I have food in and petrol in my car.

If I check-in at least once a week, at least I can start to get my act in gear and remember who I once was.
