In the Lowest Hour

moneyonmymindsam

Need to sort out the bills which will now be exhausted savings and possibly *New debts* so solicitors bills, funeral costs etc so will probably be back on a new diary BUT no regrets as loved mum and she deserved the best send off.
Feeling low most days but getting better think the lack of a job has not helped  at all with everything from focus to paying the bills. No luck on the job front yet and after many CV rewrite attempts I may get one done for myself - different pair of eyes and all that. 
Think I need to evaluate what I want to do and go for something less demanding /lower paid but once I know how much I need and what my budget needs to be this will help. Feel pressured as plus one wants to buy a house together so might need to be mortgage ready!!  Most importantly Hope everyone is well and safe

I hope things get easier for you soon Sam. 

Good luck with the job hunting.  Are there any friends you could ask for fresh eyes on a CV, before paying someone?

I managed to get a CV review for under £30 so not too bad see what feedback it brings. 
Still haven't sat down to sort the bills which I must do next week - taking a breather thus weekend from endless job seeking .
Been to moms to clean windows and cut grass and knackered now.
Just dyed my roots ;-) so think thats quite enough chores lol 
Not sure if its all the change on top of everything,  staying with plus one and now 2 messy dogs to look after too.
Hope everyone is well xxx Sam

Sooo hair dye not that great so need to do another lot for the roots I missed
Need to "eat some frogs" and get up the gusto to sort bills.
Also I am thinking about learning to drive starting July all being well. 
Hope everyone is well and safe xxx

Bit of an update from me . Had my hair done in the hairdressers so nice for a change but didn't last long.
Threw away some make up this morning but think it is really old anyway to be honest and probably Xmas presents gifted to me (!) 
I have a lot of beauty products (again birthday gifted to me) so if I can get away with it I will sell some.

Got 2 bags of nice things ready for charity shop and 1 bin bag to sell on eBay (but no rush as mainly winter bits)
Need to go through the finances! 
I know I have circa 4k debt coming (well bills to pay off) but I have a big EF so worst case it can be used.
Income at all time low of £751 pcm but the not working as much is helping my long term health.
Plus one and i still have three places between us, so need to give up my flat asap and maybe sell the other house. 
Thinking of you all and wishing you well.

Hi,
We are thinking about buying something together start of next year in 2021 but a little apprehensive as lived on my own for 8 years lol 
Although its nice to have the time off I'm panicky about income so will have to do some eBay and perhaps look for more hours .
