    P.S. DD came back with 88 Euros out of the 100 I gave her. I'm so proud to have instilled some frugal values into her. Just wondering what to do with them now...
    PPS Hey janb5 :wave: I've gotten loads of good advice from the union so far. I just really wish things weren't dragging out like this. :(
    PPPS This diary is massive now - I don't half go on. Wonder if I should start a new one? Might wait until the finances are sorted and make it a proper start debt busting diary.

    CCL...I`m a fellow Geordie but down south now. I must admit I didnt believe my aunt when she told me to get advice re the union but was proved wrong.....again!

    On reflection do report this incident to the police. They do need to know and actually there is no decent explanation why he was in this cul de sac . Why should your bestie be worried by him? He`s probably thinking he will be less conspicuous there!

    Hey CCL.

    I say stick with the same diary. It's nice to have it all in the one place and you can refer back too. Keep on keeping on.

    What a nightmare you've having CCL. I echo what others have said and perhaps a phonemail to the police would be a good idea, at least then they know what area he is in.

    Sending you lots of love and hugs and hope things get better soon xx

    Evening :wave:
    What a busy time. I'm currently still juggling 4 different papers - or I was. Just finished one and I expect to finish the second one tomorrow at the latest. Feels like I'm finally starting to get somewhere. Mind you - there's still one paper to go so I'm not quite done yet.
    No word from or sight of ex, but I am still very cautious and on edge about stuff.
    Nothing much to report. Still got no money, still got no time and still no progress on the financial front. I'm really hoping that the exam people start paying me soon as things are looking very scary on the money front.
    Work is busier than it should be considering year 11 are gone. I have a lot of assessments there to mark, reports to write - plus I've had a lot of my year 11 time filled up with other stuff that needs to be done. Ugh. Just keep plodding on...

    Forgive me, for I can't remember but are you still using YNAB?

    When moneys super tight (and even when I was in debt) YNAB gave me peace of mind knowing that the important things were being taken care of. Helped lighten the mental load.

    Gosh, you sound so busy with all the marking, CCL. More than halfway through June, though.....summer solstice at the weekend, so the end of term is hoving nicely into view. I know you'll keep plodding on, then you can decide what you might like to do with the extra leisure time......I know lots of sleep while covered in snoozy cats is a cert!
