Helllooooo


I'm back from a huuuuge break away after having May. Consequetly I have lost my way a bit (read, a lot!) and have now realised I need to do something!!!


So long and short of it all is: I now have 2 babies under 3 who I love dearly, one is weaning and one is toilet training, nightmare!! Espec with an OH who works away every other month! Because of Christmas and having Champagne tastes and lemonade budgets my CC is now a huge £2k along with my £200 OD!!!!!!


There is a light now at the end of the tunnel. I now work 2 days a week. I'm going to look into what needs to go where etc to pay everything off, I'm determined to get it done by the end of the year. I've also set up a business from home making things so that brings in a tiny revenue of about £20 a week, but I really enjoy it


Amongst all of this I have no will power so have put on over a stone so need to lose 2 and my house is an absolute disorganised mess!!!!


Going to start off slowly so as not to lose my way, with achievable goals. That sounds achievable :)


Hope you'll join me in my journey


Much love xx
