    Happy to hear the news that it all turned out well in the end . Enjoy the airshow and being driven there . My DS is going to one just over the border so assume it's the same one 😂
    I think it will be! Just over the border is where we’re heading too.

    I’m relieved I can carry on with my life. It’s felt like so much has been on hold for 4 years. It’s the sacrifice of being a single mum. I wouldn’t change DD for the world and parenting comes with sacrifices which I’ve gladly made. Now she’s getting older, things are starting to change and get a bit easier but I’m still holding off on a lot of things until she’s much older.

    Back from the air show. We had to park in a car park that was locked for an hour after so we just went to the beach with the dogs. 

    It was a nice day. The beach was closed off during the show as the planes did all their showing off just over it. 

    I’m tired now and DD is too. We have plans in the morning tomorrow and I have to get all my uni paperwork together as well. 

    Think I’m going to be in bed in the next 10 minutes as I can feel my eyes going. X

    Went out with DD today. We had a lovely time. She’s really into crystals and bought herself a lovely rose quartz pendant. 

    Tomorrow we’re going to a local fair. DD has been wanting to go on a certain ride for a few years, but couldn’t due to having Covid one year and missing it the second year. 

    Money is still the same. Waiting on the last bits of summer money coming in

    I go on everything! 
    My back has stopped me for a good few years now though, but I do love them. X

    I did all my admin today. Business and my own. I’ve updated my vision board too.

    I’ve also ordered some new photos with my free ones to update my photo board,

    My uni course comes with funding so I’ve bought a new computer with it. I need one and as it’s paid for, thought I might as well.

    tomorrow is my last day of the summer holidays before returning to work. I’ve already got plans to stock up on some household items and I plan to do that to cover the next 6 months. I’ve had an energy bill update and they’re doubling my bill. I need to ensure I’m covering for it elsewhere. They’ve been trying to lower it for 3 months but I knew it was a false economy so refused. 

    I’ve had an email to say summer money is in tomorrow. That will pay for the extras.

    I absolutely have to be out of my overdraft by the 15th when I get paid. There’s no excuses anymore. I’m owed at least £300 by the summer money and £85 child support. That should cover the £200 remaining bills, fuel and shopping until the 15th. I do have to give my parents a little thank you gift as they’ve supported me so much. I’m banking on £20 for that. 

    Stocking up to help seems to be the only way at the minute.

    Money came in. A little more than expected. 
    I’ve got £400 to last me until payday and around £250 of bills to till go out. That means I’ll have to do two budget shops and one full tank of fuel. It’s possible. I can’t go into my overdraft this month.

  • Back to work yesterday. That was a shock to the system!

    Money is ok. I think all bills have now gone out. 13 days till payday and around £200 left. That’s some fuel and two shops. I have plans tonight too so that will also need to be covered. 

    DD’s clubs are covered too.
