    £1 paid to the debt yesterday and today so £20.62/£116.04, 85.8% paid.

    Managed to fix the oven which I'm very pleased about. Had a very relaxed weekend, saw my parents and gran yesterday. Today have just been pottering about the flat, catching up with cleaning, ironing, etc. Also did a food shop - £35.76.I

    Car was fine, a couple of things needing worked on but covered by a service plan I took out when I got the car :)

    Haven't posted again for ages :o life just got a bit messy :( work is awful at the moment, just so stressful and emotionally draining plus huge fights with OH - we're still together but it's rocky and I don't know what's going to happen. So money saving and debt busting has completely fallen by the wayside. Not got any further in debt but raided various pots to prop up general spending.

    Off to bed now but will look over everything tomorrow and see where I stand moneywise.

    Thanks to you both :D. Had a good chat with OH tonight and sorted a few things out - I think we'll be ok :). Drama continues at work but something happened today which long-term may cause more stress but right now I just feel relieved and happy about it.

    Going on to money matters, I'll need to use £100 from wages at the end of the month to repay pots. I've currently got £3.85 in my purse but that will last until Friday when I'll get around £30 from 2nd job. Payday is then on Monday, will do up a budget over the next few days.
