The Best View Comes After the Hardest Climb.

I actually don't think they can charge as it would be discrimination.

Have you checked with the waste company Buffy? The local council did the same for my Mum which was such a blessing as otherwise as we lived away had to rely on neighbours.

My mum has this too - its called Assisted Bin Collection where she lives.

Implementation is a bit hit or miss though.

Sorry about your friend Buffy.  And about work.  Life does seem to be a series of peaks and troughs and I'm sure it's never just "normal"!

Not been a teacher for many years, but I want it on a t-shirt as well.

Another teacher here too and also wanting the t-shirt!

Buffy, I have read through your diary and want to say you should not be so hard on yourself. You are doing a great job in very stressful times.

I just did my expenses for the month ahead. 

The difference between the amount I have and the amount I need is 68.35, going to be a super tight month. 

It is because of Christmas and the car insurance (I am hoping when I get the new car it won't be near Christmas!) and I have gone back to saving for both now . Really last year my lovely house bun cos me so much money I couldn't keep the emergency topped up and it at this point I have run out of money. I owe myself 500 pounds, well actually it is 1000 now I think about it. !!!!!!.  

Anyhow the no spend Jan has help as I am able to pay back 500 of the money(this would have been my "normal" CC bill!!) (tho I do reserve the right to borrow it if there is a disaster). I will also have my "wages" from job 2. They will cover petrol... big sigh. I am still only doing house savings and can't build up the emergency pot yet till March's pay. I also probably won't be able to over pay the loan which is annoying. 

I am going to carry on my self imposed no Big River with one exception, I can buy gifts for others as it is too difficult to shop for gifts, my high street is rubbish and it would be expensive to go into town. I have to say not only having one delivery for the whole month (pet stuff) has been great. No endless boxes of crap. the hall is mostly clear! I still haven't solved the hay problem, not going to order the cheap hay till Half term as have no where to put it. 

I am also going to continue not buying anything aside from food and drink and being able to socialise.... I need to be more organised. 

With this in mind I am clearing out my room today. NOW. I was going to sort out the rabbits but my friend pointed out that I could leave it until half term now. And my room reallly needs help!!
