£8 in Mr T vouchers arrived, so used those to get some bits of shopping to help see us through. Also went to Costc0 with my Sister to scope out what they sell ahead of doing the buffet for my party. Hated walking round seeing the bargains knowing I had NO money, but loved seeing my Sister as it’s been quite a while.
Didn’t sleep very well last night worrying about money

Would your family club together for the party - instead of presents maybe?
When my old hairdressers closed and I had to find a new one, I took the opportunity to start colouring my hair at home. Can't see the difference to be honest and it only costs me £5.

We’ve had a NSD. Not difficult when you have nothing to spend, but an achievement all the same.Debts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j

Such an up and down day!!
Couldn’t sleep last night again, and discovered in the early hours that my bank account had gone 6p overdrawn :mad:. Text my sister asking if she would transfer a couple of quid in for me to save me a trip to the bank and I’d pay her back on Friday. Checked my account this morning and she's paid £50 in with instructions to keep it :A:A.
Then Grandma had a funny turn in hospital and was transferred to Coronary care :eek::(. They put her on morphine as her BP super low and we are waiting to hear from the doctor but she looks better tonight :T.
I’m tired and feeling quite emotional. Pleased to have such a lovely family, but hoping everyone is going to be ok XxDebts @ LBM £23,729.31. Debts @ 08/04/2016 £0 :j
