ps we have a tub of quality street and celebrations that was bought for us along with biscuits a bottle of brandy and a bottle of Malibu.


Hopefully that might make thigs a little easier as we wont feel like we are missing out on treats.


we have also been bought some nice bath and shower stuff for xmas, so we don't have to worry about toiletries for a bit except for tooth paste.

I like to melt chocolates in the microwave and pour them over vanilla ice cream.

sounds yummy!!!!


however trying to get my figure back lol.


I know i may have more in than others so we are fortunate but if i didn't keep a little stock pile in then we would really be n trouble. but this £150 i have is not really mine as its for bills which we have re arranged and last of the of the overdraft that was available.
Council have been helpful and have agreed for me to miss December and start again 29th jan, and when everyone gets their two months off we will only get one? Gas and electric i have had to cancel the direct debits ad re start end of jan, however with any money left il make a payment online.
whatever money i do not use is being put back in the bank or paying a bill we missed online or over the phone if we have it.


all major things like mortgage has been paid, water as well etc its just gas and electric dd and the council tax being re arranged. phone contract has been paid but my tariff is only £13 a mth.


Another great thing is a client of mine has said she has some ironing for me which will come to £20+ normally id expect her ironing around the middle of the month but she said shell have another load need doing by then too, so that's great news.


My wages will go in the jar and put back into the account.


I had a bit of a panic this morning thinking how's best to do this? my husband said i have done so well already trying to take control and sort it for us he has helped too and being supportive. But i have had to tell him to do no moaning about what's put in front of him as i am just simply doing the best with what we have.

I don't know how to do links on my tablet but if you go on YouTube and search Al's kitchen there are lots of easy Indian recipes there. I have tried all kinds of Indian recipes and his are the only ones that taste just like restaurants. He does a lamb balti which is lovely. And chicken madras. And Bombay potatoes, and...and....

If you'd like the recipes we often have a vegan meal that is Lemon Dahl, Carrot and Potato curry, rice and minty raita all very easy to make and very basic ingredients. Would be happy to post the recipes if wanted.
