I have already neglected the diary, but not the money saving. MIL passed away on Wednesday so this hasn't been the first thing on my mind. I'm expecting an extent of wobbling over the next couple of months. As long as I make the payments I have on my SOA I am paying more than the minimum on all cards so for maybe a couple of months that will have to do.
Helping FIL with everything paperwork wise, I need to concentrate on that for now.

Long overdue update. Balances have stayed pretty much the same. However with family death and coronavirus oddness, I think it could have been much worse. I run a business which has been able to continue (Pet food and we already did deliveries) although takings are a bit down. Hubby is working from home but I have realised how much him and our 7 year old will eat if at home all day! Have managed this month to cut back a bit on food spending and hope to continue to do so. Only 1 big post death purchase which was some vinyl cutting and t shirt printing gear, just need to get a bit more practice then onto Etsy and Ebay with finished products to earn a bit more and also push my Scentsy if I can (or give it up but i'm not ready to do that just yet) Have managed to build up a bit of an emergency fund which is reassuring too.
