    Today was a bit tough. Nothing I especially want to share here, not today anyhow. All a bit raw and in your face type stuff.


    Any how. Dog had to go to the vets 36.50


    I have 420 left of wages. for the next 5 ish weeks. I have saved about 200 pounds for Summer expenses like petrol so hopefully I should be ok.


    Having said that I do really need to insulate the shed for the guinea pigs for the winter. Whilst they don't need it right now, I know I won't have time during the term. Am thinking I might have to spend on the CC to cover it. And I do want to have a good time on holiday.


    Not really in the right frame of mind for this to be honest.


    I am going to go read about no carbs or low carb dieting. or sleep.


    one of the two!

  • thanks ladies XX just a temporary blip. XX

    I took myself out today, drove to new school and had a potter around the area. did some shopping, not much.
    I think the miseries are coming from the impending monthly visitor! I do hate that!


    In other news I worked out my debt free date. If I can pay off 758 each month till the end of the year then I would be out of debt by Christmas.


    It is a tall order really as I am not entirely sure what I am being paid in my new job!


    So with that in mind I have listed some stuff on Preloved and pledged to make an extra 155 in August and to have 8 no spend days in August.


    If it all sells I will have 75 quid, I can add some more bits and pieces to sell to make up the rest.




    Underlying this is the dental work I need to have done and the op on my nose. The dental work would be about 4000? I think.


    hmmm.


    I WANT A HOUSE!!!!!


    seriously I could just be stamping my foot now :rotfl::rotfl:




    hey ho It will all workout. And being out of debt is a definite need.

    Have you been to the GP yet regarding your monthly issues and the depression?

    Is the new school far? Will you be saving on fuel?

    Worth doing the shed a.s.a.p for the piggies as you know as soon as it gets cold, the last thing you'll want to do is be out there moving stuff and sorting it.

    And houses.....after shelling out £1k this week for some repointing work, don't do it! Expensive things, bricks and mortar.
