Hi Tinkerbelle,
Just finished reading your diary, wanted to wish you luck in your new job, glad your first day was ok.
Keep charging ahead, you will get there, and I am sure you will find a perfect house for you DD & doggie.
I have the same goal housewise so will be subscribing and reading with interest!
PS my DD's nick name is Tinks, she loves Tinkerbell, and often scolds me for not giving her that name officiallythe name she has does rhyme so close enough I feel!
Bellevie
Hi Bellevie. Thanks for reading. Trying to be more positive now. Things have calmed down a bit on the home front but who knows how long for. Still have my little plan there though so one day I'll hopefully have something to leave behind for DD. I'm off to find your diary now.

Thanks for popping round to my diary, though I was sad to read the news about your withheld pay. Grr! Annoying.
But so glad to hear you've got a plan already! The grocery challenge sounds cool, I remember I've had to do that twice before with just pennies to live on and I did it! Have you got some stuff in your freezer to help you out?
Big hug x
Thanks Hun. Freezer is full to bursting thankfully so just need to get everyday things like bread, milk, sugar and potatoes. Training this week is providing lunch but must say it's not the best. Might just take a snack to go with it tomorrow lol.

Awww thanks Sam. What is MT like lol. Hope she's having a lovely time. I'm quite impressed I've managed to pay some off my debts this month considering and I'm glad to see you on the grocery challenge. Your budget is less than mine so I'll be looking to you for tips;)

Glad your first day went well Tink, enjoy the grocery challenge (that sounds strange doesn't it?!) I find things like that quite addictive! I won't be around for a few days so hope your first week continues to go well

Evening all. Had a low spend day today, only £1 left my purse for a cup of tea at training. It's quite intense and lots to remember but am loving every minute of it. Will need to put some more petrol in tomorrow though. Feel like I will be doing something worth while though and it could develop into a really good career. Seems weird that I have changed my whole job status (I was going to say this late in life lol but I'm not that old) but I didn't think I would ever do anything other than sitting at a desk.
DD has been brilliant today and did a few jobs for me that I had asked her to do. She starts back at school tomorrow so hopefully she will be able to sleep tonight.
I'm feeling so frustrated that I can't get any more payments off my debts or put a bit aside for savings. Going to be a long month.
Take care all.

Not sure yet Sam. Got to wait for by DRB check to come back before I can start but I'm hoping it will be before the end of this month.
Only bought a cup of tea because we were there so early and there was a cafe close by.
The training is amazing. The trainer is really good and has done the job do really knows what she's talking about.
I wish everything was as organised as my signature. One day maybe lol.
