Aw how I hated nursery payments £669 per month for my boy and that was after "help" was taken off!? I was like I do not get maintenance from my ex (nor will ever ask!) and it was more than my rent of £400 xx

Morning,

Very quiet here on site, so thought I'd update my diary while I can.

Aiming for a NSD today, brought my lunch with me, left over HM beef and ale pie and associated veggies

Still no contract, I think I will give them until Wednesday and then I'll dig out the guys number and find out what's happening with it? I'm getting a bit worried now as I have to give them a weeks notice where I am.

Had a busy weekend, but managed to get a fair few bits done and dusted. DS and DD both had parades in separate areas, so it was a rush to drop them both off, both did really well so good day all round yesterday.

Going to try for at least 4 NSD's this week, will be good if I could get 5 but we'll see. I do need to buy MIL a birthday card, I have a voucher already stashed but apart from that and top up shop which are part of my budget, I shouldn't spend a lot this week.

DD has a mufti day on Friday and has to bring in a bottle for the Christmas fair, we are going to declutter and she will take in a couple of bottles that neither DH or I will drink, so no money spent that day

Good planning with the decluttering of bottles to save on spending.

I'd be going mad by now waiting for that written offer - patience is definitely not one of my strong points, so I totally feel your frustration. I presume either it's stuck in the postal system somewhere, or they've just been slow sending it out for some reason. Annoying, though!

Glad to hear your DS & DD both participated in parades yesterday too. Such a good thing for kids to do.

So I have just done a re-read of my old diaries again, it has struck me just how much I have lost my direction in such a short space of time. That probably explains why we ended up back in the same position regardless of the consolidation.


I used to be so much more organised and in control, instead we've gone back to where we were right at the very beginning 9 years ago.


We both earn a reasonable salary and we both should be able to have proper control over the money instead of frittering it away.


I think it's good to re-read things, especially so I can make changes and move forward, some of the old me is here, just need to find her.

I can relate to this completely. I get all excited about changing, don't have a plan, lose my way, realise I'm lost, decide to take back control, get all excited about changing, don't have a plan, lose my way...

I finally realised I need to have and stick to a plan if I am ever going to make progress in any area of my life. I don't know how many times I've started over, but I am determined that this time it will stick, so this time I am making a plan!

Fingers crossed that your contract arrives soon!

:rotfl: I'm fairly sure I'm old enough to be your mother, so probably not.

Do you have a plan this time? I am still in the planning stages of planning my plan.

Lol, you can be my slightly older twin :rotfl:::rotfl:

Plan....that's erm, a working project I do need to get something together, the vast amount of 'plans' I have had in the past haven't amounted to much, if they had, we'd have moved house by now.
