Glad you're settling back into your routine. I think money will be tight for a lot of us this month.

I really need to get back to work, I don't even think this months wage will be enough to cover a weeks bills
Will all be sorted just really tight with being off so long.

New diary and things all done as much as I can, need to call a few things because I'm sure I've missed some appointments. Will see how using the ones I've got go. They aren't perfect but maybe they'll be good enough. Worth a try.
Just having a cuppa before trying to get some sleep. Really should bank that cheque tomorrow. We need milk and potatoes, probably a few other small things too - oh a birthday card for my sister!
Meal plan is up on the board and all things that need sorting this week.
Need to sort the rent out and get the actual figures I owe so I know where I'm starting from. It's hard to keep track because some comes of the arrears and some of the court costs etc.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0 -
Morning
Well it's very very wet! So I don't think I'm walking into town - means the cheque still won't be bankedand I must get my sister a card tomorrow
Have done the normal morning jobs of bedding and hoovering and things. Boring really. Smalls are playing and youngest sleeping.
Just having a coffee and I think I'll get the ironing done while smalls are entertaining themselves. Saves a job tonight

Happy New year to you and the children.
Glad to hear youngest is back on the mend , hopefully she will return to school with the other two. How good would it be to get some of your family and friend debt paid off.
