Back in May this year I decided things had to change. I turned to here and received an amazing amount of help and advice. Here I am making a fresh start.

Hello and Welcome
We're all here to help and you've made a great startBUGGRITMILLENIUMHANDANDSHRIMP I TOLD EM! - Foul Ole Ron
It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

Bit about us
Me and 3 delightful smalls .. Well delightful the majority of the time8 year old DS, 6 year old DD and 3 year old DD.
Work nearly full time (although on sick leave currently while bones and head are repairing) Hopefully not for much longer though.
It's a complicated background so I'll keep it away from here but more determined than ever to get things sorted.
Will post plans and things eventually and drive you all insane with pointless lists and cleaning routines“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”1 -

Hopefully without causing offence to anyone this time. I will very much keep to Debt busting and cleaning this time:rotfl:
Or maybe its the cleaning that's the problem!“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
So bit pointless posting my November Goals now. Will wait until December. When things are hopefully more settled.
First things first.
Council Tax £135 Due 28th
Rent £339.21 Due 30th
These are the priority. Smalls are away and being well entertained, fed and looked after.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
