    Gas top up - £7.00 so £10.80 left should be enough until the 25th at 77p a day


    Full prepayed electric :) for the month

    I have some nice products to use up on me ..Shampoo, face packs etc
    I have enough cleaning and washing products for rest of the month


    Looking in the food cupboard its not great but doable..


    6 Sachets of Porridge,
    14 x Weetabix,
    7 x puddings
    7 x Crisps,
    Cake mix ( if I make )
    2 x Beans,

    Tea, Coffee and Sugar - Zillions of it now :)


    Need to buy Jacket potatoes, Bread, butter, milk - so will budget a Fiver for that ...


    Maybe add some cream, custard for puddings..


    Saturday maybe out with friend ..but plan to cash up coppers about £8 and use to spend on bus fare and coffee or hot chocolate.


    I have to post a parcel too ..grrr so that will leave me £100 in the bank . I have £117 but £10 max for parcel and £6.90 for a train ticket which has not yet come out of the bank I fear .


    I do have some things I could muster up to sell as always worst case.

    Ooh, jackets with butter and cheese, yum :). Tobacco, not such a fan but each to their own...have been sorting eBay stuff, hoping DD will use her iPhone to eBay it. She says if I had an iPhone it would be dead easy for me to do it myself. Yep, sure it would but if I had the spare cash I'd have my own iPhone? Bless her heart...

  • Thanks for popping by Dansmam :)


    Cant sleep as a stress head at the moment .


    My friend and I find out the scan results next Wednesday so it will be decision time for me ...My finances couldn't be worse at the minute so I have decided tonight to come out of a business that I part -own with a friend.


    Sadly my part of the debt's accrued to get out of this (it isn't horrific ) will add another £1,800 to my final debt ...it was the only option to relieve stress for me.


    I would have liked to have pulled out on a high but I do feel my health is more important. It means I may only work 40hrs plus travel but better than the 80hrs plus juggle ...so I finally have the time to have a life.. I need another SOA ..but I feel relieved but somewhat a failure.




    My countdown of 14 days being pretty much skint...


    Sat 13th Survival day one .. Cancel friend for coffee!


    Clean, make some more decisions and sort.


    Pay day is the 26th so not too long to go ....
