You are an Inspirational, Motivational wee person and a totally wonderful Mum to your wee cheeky trio and the wee furbaby lady too.
You keep on going, you come back stronger and you will always RISE

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.

EE I don't think I have been doing things right for myself more recently. I have put off some appointment and things while youngests been unwell. I don't think that has caused the main issues though. The news about youngests health issues etc I think broke the wall down enough to let old thing slip back in. Things are so uncertain and worrying I think it's clouding over the now and what we I should be focusing on now. Things I could change but just sit on the fence because it's easier short term not long term.
I read back to where I began before making positive changes and I'm worried not only am I back to what it was then, I'm probably in deeper than ever before.
I'm not sure where things will go from here. I will still be focusing on the debt on here but in life? who knows. It's so tiring.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -

Oh I hadn't seen that! It wasn't there when I last checked. Wonder when it got reinstated. Now I don't know if I want to go back to my old one or stay here

I hope you have a good week Wannabe, and stay positive. Try smiling, even if you don't feel like it - it releases positive chemicals that make you feel more positive. He's paid me now, by the way xSave £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £10,020.92 out of £6000 after September

My new diary is here0 -
Morning Lovely,
Just caught up on your diary.
Sorry that you are feeling a tad down, you're doing brilliantly and are an amazing mum. Hope that the smalls are feeling better now.
Great news that youngest has got in to the same school, that'll help with holidays etc.
Lovely news about the pup, I bet the smalls are excited
Fantastic news on the debt repayments too, you are doing great.
Sending you a massive hug xxxxx0 -
Thank you.
Still struggling with how fast some things are going on and not sure how to stop and change. What will be will be. I know I will lose the small amount of friends I have and things and I just feel overwhelmed with everything to be honest.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
