  • Well I went out and spent £5.75 and I now know she has absolutely no interest In my life whatsoever.
    I thought I would wait and see if she asked me anything about myself, kids, life etc and not offer any information until asked, put it this way I know all about her holiday and how much it cost, all about trips they are doing in the school holidays and what they cost, her dental trip and how much it cost, her doctor appointment, the fact they are trying for a baby, her sons school reports and sats results, sons pimary school leaving party where they went, what they did and how much it cost and I could go on and on and on.


    After and hour and half I said I had to go, she asked about coming over next week, just said I would get back to her as we were really busy.


    SOOOOOOOOOOOOO done.

  • On a brighter note I cashed out £25 from a survey site this morning, probably won't get it until September as it said it can take 28 days.

  • Seem to have spent the day rushing around but not got much done.


    collected DSD from sleepover,dropped DS at cricket club and collected,posted £bay parcels.


    Another item sold on £bay, £3.50 after fees and sent to N£XT whichmeans I am now in the 3s :j and I've hit my target early, need to think of a new target now that's achievable, maybe hit £350 by the end of the month.


    T£sco CC direct debit payment also gone out today,only minimum payment. Still waiting on new CC stuff to come through wish it would hurry up.

  • Hi ICBW

    I have just sat and read the whole of your diary with a nice cuppa. I am so impressed with your determination to clear your debts.

    One part of your diary that really stuck me was how you come across as such a fantastic Mum, your children seem very happy and content and can appreciate simple things.

    The "friend" also struck a chord as I too have recently distanced myself from a family member in my instance which is difficult but some people just drain your soul.

    Also I am an old timer who has resurfaced with a new user name (due to anonymity being compromised) and am slogging away at debt repayments which were mainly down to holidays so I feel like we have quite a lot in common.

    I hope you don't mind me popping in from time to time with interest. I also have started my own diary which I hope will focus my attentions.

    Good luck and keep going,you are doing great!

    Thankyou, I keep telling myself that every penny is a step closer to debt freedom.
