thanks dolly rocker .. congratulations on becoming debt free !!

now its just me its easier to keep track of spends etc. which is a good thing.

we didn't go to al$i last night in the end. but definatley going to have to go today.

dispite the youngest being poorly this week i have still managed to get some studying in. but being up most of the night since sunday with youngest i'm starting to feel it now.

i have 6 years of studying (part time) its a long time but i really hope its worth it in the end.

i want to prove to myself i can do everything i always wanted without him.

single mum or not i'll make my dreams come true and give my kids the best life i can.

and that starts right now. i'll be recording all the ups and downs in this diary and hopefully i can look back and see how far i've come.

a few weeks ago my savings were at £0 i had debt of £1500. lets see where i am 12 months from now .its got to be better than where i was
