When things hit rock bottom the only answer is to fight the way back up...

Oh, don't get me started on energy consumption... that's one of the projects I have ongoing at work.
Have to calculate our energy consumption YTD and give data on how much of that consumption comes from what source via our energy suppliers... then give proposals on how we can be more eco-friendly and use other resources etc
Sorry... I got started didn't I?

As you so succinctly stated... blah!
Don't get me wrong, I am all for using renewable and sustainable resources. It just annoys me that it seems to be the latest bloody fad in business... we should have been doing this YEARS ago...
Sorry, sorry... I'll shut up now...

:rotfl: :rotfl: Honestly it has absolutely nothing to do with what I'll be doing, other than maybe I could turn the lights off after myself maybe :rotfl: Why I need to know how much energy every single item uses I have no idea!

Morning, up and ready again, just pottering around doing odd jobs now because I'm ready far too early. Todays training is food allergies, well I have alot of experience on that front with youngest. Think she's allergic to breathing tbh :rotfl:

Nothing much else going on. Will be another NSD, will resist the nice food and coffee's in town. Might need a bottle of milk tonight but trying to last until tomorrow when it's shopping day anyway.

There isn't much debt repayments going on yet but that's just because there is uniform and other things I'm keeping on top of. As soon as I start to get paid I will be back to totally debt busting. I only still post so I don't fall of the wagon of not spending every penny I have on rubbish then not paying the bills.

Not increasing debt by paying for uniform with budgeted money rather than borrowing is still debt busting. Amazed you found money for decorating, new beds and carpet too on your small budget. Well done. Will be great once your wages start and you know where you are with tax credits etc. Thorough agree with you keeping DLA aside although you can use it for travel to appointments, days off work for hospital appointments etc etc.

I think employers sometimes have "training days" just to tick boxes. I remember going to some that had absolutely nothing to do with my job and boy were they boring! Still, food allergies will be more interesting. Have to agree with Enthusiastic Saver. Buying the uniforms and decorating is something that needs to be done and doing it with budgeted money is indeed a form of debt busting. Have a good day.

I think you're doing wonderfully hidden. You put me to shame the amount you do and then still go training. My work days I achieve nothing at home! Hence why my house is always a mess lol. I hope training is interesting at least.

I am really tired today! Slightly hoping mum feeds the small ones dinner before I'm home if not its lasagne ready meals I made the other day.

I know there's nothing to do at home though, other than anything we create when we get home. Def an early night on the cards. The thunder woke DS last night so it was a very late one around 3am

Speaking of thunder I have never in my life heard thunder as loud and close as last night! It felt like the house was shaking! Weird!

And thank you for the replies, I have to say since being here I haven't had to borrow money from anyone. All my bills are paid and we have good food. We aren't sitting on a Tuesday worrying the electric is under £1 and we don't have a penny to top up etc.

For once there's actually money in an account for DD's meds and things and for if we need a last minute hospital trip (Many a times I've been stranded at 3am at a&e in slippers and no coat and not even enough credit or change for the phone to call for a lift home)

Morning Hidden

I 'met' you on the £10 a day challenge and have spent the last couple of days reading your diary. All I can say is Wow! I can't believe how well you have done on such a tiny budget and your energy puts me to shame - I get tired just reading your posts! I'm going to subscribe and will be cheering you on xxx
