Diary of a desperate Mummy

Posts: 3 Newbie
Hi Everyone
Have been lurking in these diaries for a while now and have decided to start my own in an effort to make myself more accountable!
I am a 34 year old mummy of one working full time and generally getting bogged down by mortgage, nursery fees and household stuff.
Pay day on Tuesday and it will only just cover my mortgage and overdraft, need to sort myself out!
Will post more detailed amounts but estimate of debts as of today is
650 overdraft
4500 credit card
1500 n*xtaccount
300 o*sis account
6500 loan
Gulp!!!!
