IA's 'Does my bum look big in this Debt?' Diary

Yep. To be honest, we are managing ok enough at the moment for me to stay at home, and I am doing a degree from home anyway which takes up all my time. If the right job comes up next year after I graduate at Xmas then I may consider it, but if not I am happy staying at home for now and will look for a job when my youngest starts school as that will chop out nursery fees.

Woooooohooo! Just had a call from the housing association and they're coming on tuesday to fit us brand new pvc doors on our front door and store door Shame I had to write and formally complain because we were supposed to have had them a year and a half ago before they'd actually come and do them though.... :rolleyes:

IA, lots of good news coming your way at the moment. New door, £250 (why don't you use that for christmas, it would be a shame to use it on your debts!)

Shame about the nursery fees, but have you looked into perhaps using a childminder. I used a nursery with my first two (I didn't have to pay a deposit otherwise I would have been in the same boat!) but then changed to a childminder and have used the same one for 15 years. She is 'nanny' to Chloe now and she even put off retiring to mind Chloe. She is happy to be paid monthly when I get paid.

Great news on the £250 Sar.
Childminder sounds a great idea! No deposit & a fair bit cheaper.
