Lesson obs on Wednesday for a potential job and another application going in today. Food shop for the week done and happily under £40 as we still have stuff to use up and the boy is away for a few days too so at lot less 'snacky stuff' needed to keep him going! Managed to borrow most of the stuff he needs as he's camping and also getting a pair of boots for the girl's birthday reduced from £89 to £30, so that's her main pressie sorted.Mortgage £119,533 going down slowly

Last little bit of birthday shopping for the teen done today so that's all sorted in plenty of time. The boy is all packed for his days away and lesson is sorted for the morning apart from printing something off first thing. Finally managed to cash out my PA and it went straight into bank, normally takes a few days so that's sorted, every little helps.Mortgage £119,533 going down slowly

Feeling very angsty today, boy away from home, lesson went well, hubby off sick and around the house in that annoying way that I really don't need him to be! No spends so far and got some money back from the in-laws. Tea all sorted and hubby just wants bread and water anyway so that's cheap and easy. Side-hustle work tonight so at least I can get out of the house for a few hours and bring in a bit of money. Lesson obs went well this morning so got to wait to see if I get called back for interview....hate waiting.Mortgage £119,533 going down slowly

Feeling very blue today, job interview on Monday is great and fingers crossed but we run out of money before its January start. Supply just isn't happening at all and we still have all the bills in the world to pay. Phoned agency today and they are laying off staff because it's so slow atm. Don't know what to do.Mortgage £119,533 going down slowly
