Hi Bartgirl, have been away for a couple of weeks and just catching up. Well done with adding to the savings & coping with your family probs. Sending you loads of positive thoughts and ((((())))) hugs & XXX.Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task. William James0

Hi there
Glad to read that you are still trying to save so you can leave. Sorry to hear that you had a break in that is really pants.
I take it that you would be doing the leaving rather than you throwing OH out? If that is the case then why? And if you do leave then make sure you take what YOU have bought with you. Should end up with him sitting on an orange box!
You will get there in time
hope you can enjoy the summer and makes lots of money for your fund!

Now that I am finally on top of things financially - I have been able to splash out and treat myself to a few bits and bobs - and got DS some bits for a tenner in Mothercare; then i treated myself to some moccasins from an Ebay shop; plus beautiful clog-type sandals from TK Maxx which were only £20. I find it very very difficult though and always feel guilty that I have 'treated myself' but i suppose I need to learn how to 'undo' that silly feeling..:rolleyes:
Well done! I hava a system where at the end of the month i look at what i have added to my savings then I spend up to 20% of it on a treat. this gives a reward. And always soend it on a bargain so it feels even better. The savings soon build up for a rainy day!trying to earn more and spend less!0 -
