    Hi Dan 
    so sorry to hear you've been having a difficult time, it must be so worrying having family members who are unwell at the moment :( I'm not surprised you're feeling a bit meh, please be kind to yourself, it's not feeling sorry for yourself to feel a bit low when life's difficult. It sounds as though you're the one in the family trying to hold it all together but remember you need to look after you too, you can't pour from an empty cup! 

    Well done on not increasing debt and sticking to your budgets, not an easy thing to do when life gets difficult so that's a positive in itself. 

    Take care 
    Poppy :heart:

    Hey Hey MSE world, 

    Hope everyone is doing well, ah the end of another month draws nearer! Time flies so quick.

    Well after a dramatic few weeks IRL world, things seem to be calming down and I am starting to feel a little more positive and stuff that was crazy is starting to make a little more sense....only just haha

    Budget as held up well again this month although some silly spends have not been counted in budget but money was in account so nothing too outlandish. I had a day out in town with my bro for food and a few drinks at weekend which was a nice catch up and was very much needed.

    Food budget has been okay, petrol budget has been down again as I have had some time off work which was also very much welcome. I should get through to payday fine with a bit left in the budget spare, i just have petrol to factor in now for Saturday night shift and Sunday night shift.

    Take care everyone :)

    Having read your whole diary (I know, I'm a speed reader) I just wanted to pop in and say you're doing amazing and it won't be long until you're debt free I'm sure. You've had ups and downs but your debt has only been going one way.
    Debt at start Jan 2020 : £15000
    Current level : £3934
    Total paid = 74%
