    Something else I've done recently is googled myself. There's a senior job going in my workplace and they were googling the candidates. So I decided to see what was out there about me :D

    Thankfully not a lot. I keep my social media pretty locked down, so a few tweaks mean that I'm not too visible again. I do pop up quite a bit in relation to work, but there's nothing I can do about that.

    It's definitely worth doing!

    Your DMP sounds like a 'cunning plan's ��. . I don't know anything about tax or child credits but seems sensible to wait until you've got all the figures before you submit it. I know you want to get the debt down but don't be too very ambitious on what you plan to pay you, Mr jwil and the little jwils have a life to live now.

    Good luck with the job application and fingers crossed Mr jwil gets a permanent job soon.

    Mr Retired had a nasty fall and has broken his nose. His face looks like he's gone 10 rounds with Mike Tyson.

    Thanks retired :) Ouchie to Mr Retired, hope he's ok!

    I've been much more generous in my budget now than I was with SC. I was so worried back then, but doing loads of reading on here has taught me to ease up a lot.

    I've only received tax credits in the last year, as my income was low due to maternity leave. Now I'm back at work, I'm not sure we'll still get them, but obviously DH's income is low at the moment, and our childcare bill is huge so I'm hoping they'll let us have something for now.

    Another weekend has gone. Little jwil wanted to go to the beach on Saturday so we chucked a few bits in the boot, and popped to the beach in the morning, and then did the car boot in the afternoon. Not a huge amount gone, but it all helps!

    Another pile of ebay sales gone today. A couple more have trickled in today as well so that's good.

    I don't feel like I'm achieving much at the moment but I'll keep plodding.
