Morning all,

well, the money situation has changed slightly, over the weekend my parents in law gave us some dollars!!!!:j its mine and hubbys birthdays which are next week.

i am so so gratefull to them as this is a huge weight off our shoulders.:o

Now we just need to manage the rest of the month which is not going to be easy as we dont even have enough to cover our dds this month:o

hubby is over to ramsdens to sell the gold as they were shut on saturday.

i feel quite sick and upset about it really.

sold one thing on ebay over the weekend for..........£1.99, every little helps.

so i need to slice the pie like a woman possesed.:D

just dropped the girls off at school to be told they each have a school trip this week, so thats another £20 we have to find.:rolleyes:

Made the soup and i'm eating it now yum!!

well we have managed to make sure all direct debits are covered and that it such a relief:o

just have to make as much as poss as we need food money and loads of petrol:cool:

i have spent most of the day in tears at one point or another over money, i feel like i can't breathe sometimes.

CHEAP_AS_CHIPS_4

Just a little update.

i am sitting here slicing the pie again:rolleyes: (where else would i be) so i thought i would have a little catch up

sold the gold yesterday (i have the best mam in the world) and we did okay, all direct debits are covered and nursery fees and school trips.:D

have managed so far this week for food and petrol, i know its only tuesday though.

my eldest has her semi final tommorow and we have been practising lots tonight, i just hope she can remember it all, bless her.:o

feeling pretty down again today, (i know its becoming a habit)

found out at nursery today that we had apparently missed a payment earlier in the year so they want that one and junes payment, not great but it was our mistake so far enough.

and then... they said oh and by the way we want julys payment by friday too!!!!!

not very happy to pay before dd has been for the month, they say it so they dont have to chase fees in semptember.

i am so not happy, where the hell i'm i going to find that on top of everything else this month.

this is out worst month money wise and evryday there seems to be something else.

and now they have closed the scouting room on slice the pie so i can't even make any more money on there.

Hi again

I am doing okay, had parents in law visiting for the weekend, so taking a rest now.

Have been busy reading this thread, it won June's post of the month :

Very long, but full of wonderful ideas, when you have 24 hours spare, sit down and have a read, its fab, will help with costs too.
