    Manic day in work.....constant problem solving! Had to pay DD s school dinners and after school club on CC this week so will pay that off on payday. No Feb statements? Got to contact them....

    Just eating frozen chips, toast etc...till payday!:D Have a good dinner at work though.

    Constant phone contact with sis who is working so hard on my nan's behalf. She has viewed a flat today which she loves so that is a step in the right direction. Lots of frustration, deadends and delays but we will get there in the end.

    Hope you all are well and staying strong with the debt busting cause! :beer:

    Thank you everyone :T

    Will try to appreciate the small things today to get me through a Tuesday (my longest working day!)

    Massive bowl of porridge for breakfast (with too much sugar!)

    Will try and be productive

    Fridge contents: cheese, capers, goose fat, curry paste, margarine

    Cupboard: one tin of toms, mango pulp, coconut milk and spaghetti

    What the hell will I make for dinner???:rotfl:

    Also, smiley faces, chips and peas in freezer....:T

    Have a good day all xxxxxx
