Hi there
this was the company i used a while ago. Maybe worth having a look to see what you think. You would qualify for free study.

Morning,

I went on a lovely walk yesterday with dh and the chn ( including my 16 year old) it was very cold but nice to do some exercise as I’ve been getting very lazy at weekends. We also all played a board game. So had a lovely non expensive day.

I’m out a lot of the day today but need to at least do the washing and dusting as a minimum.

Have a lovely frugal day.

Morning,

I turned down going to a coffee shop yesterday and went to a friend’s house instead.

I woke up this morning to another job rejection :cool:

I’m at home today so I need to crack on with work for my business but once dd has a nap as I want to spend quality time with her. Just read from Martin’s twitter about a boy who died from sepsis, it’s so sad and truly makes you realise how lucky we all are and to treasure each other.

Have a good frugal day.

Sorry about the job rejection. Keep trying. At some point you may need to do some retraining if you have been out of the job market for a while. Lots of free courses available for mums returning to work. I took advantage of one myself when I retrained after leaving banking in 2000. At least you seem to be getting the odd sale here and there.

Sepsis is awful. My son in law thought he had flu last November but my daughter thought he was getting much worse after a few days so she took him to the out of hours doctor who admitted him to hospital. He had a blood infection, pneumonia, endocarditis and sepsis so critically ill and spent six weeks in hospital. He is still not right now but we are thankful he is still alive. At one point we were seriously worried he might not make it leaving my daughter 5 months pregnant and our little granddaughter without a dad.

That poor little boy is not so lucky

Sorry to hear about your son in law but glad he is on the mend.

Oh my goodness enthusiastic saver what a scary time for you all, so glad he pulled through. Debtagh I couldn't agree more about cherishing time. I've been thinking that a lot lately myself. X

Yes in spite of this being a money saving site the things we should value most, our health and our family and friends are all free.

Morning,

I ended up having a busy day yesterday and spent hardly any time with my dd. I find there is always so much to do. I did a lot of work for my business , applied for a job, house work, house admin and with the sch pick up the day just goes! Applying for jobs is so time consuming. I am going to slow this down until dd goes to nursery as I want to treasure every moment with her before she is off in the education world.

I had a big argument with my teenager , I can not stand the constant attitude. It is always us or the teachers in the wrong! I got a phone call from her teacher but of course according to my dd the teacher is wrong. I have taken away her electricals, which of course she did not like so answered back and then went to bed at 7pm because of course what else can a 16 year old do when she has 3 months left before her first gcse!!!

On the money front, I feel like all I have been doing lately is spend , spend and spend! I have had to pay for ds school swimming and other sch trips which all came to over £100! We have birthdays this month, outings etc so does not feel any where as frugal as last month. I have been offered more work for next week which should bring approx £80 extra in March.

Have a lovely frugal day.

What is wrong with this site at the minute? If you put an apostrophe in a word a number comes up. I’ve noticed it with other diaries and it just happened to my above post. I had to go back and put the whole word or is shows as 8217 or something like that!

Good morning Debtagh - I have read your diary and am subscribing. I too have got high levels of debt and am in it for the long haul -I've also got family debt which they charge interest on! you've done so well in such a short time - good luck with the job hunt.
