    It was a full on weekend!

    14 days until pay day and my re-boot.

    Looking forward and feeling more hopeful.

    Getting some babysitting jobs coming through.

    Keep looking at my 6 month spreadsheet. Find it extremely reassuring!

    12 days until pay day and my financial re-boot. Feeling ok and looking forward to getting back on it. Looking forward to lowering my debt. Looking forward to setting myself some 3 month targets. Looking forward to crossing things off my spreadsheet.

    9 days until pay day and my financial re-boot. What a spendy month it has been.

    I did DD birthday party for the grand sum of £37. Best one ever! When I think of the year I spent £45 on fancy napkins, party bags and hats, plates and cups ON MY CREDIT CARD because they were PRETTY. Idiot.

    Anyway, car insurance. Mine is up for renewal. I currently pay £25 a month plus £17 annually for breakdown cover.

    I did a compare car insurance search yesterday and the lowest quote came out at £17 a month.
    I have visions that I would end up having no cover at all for £17. What should I do? Go for a higher one? How does it work?
