Hi There, and welcome back.
I appreciate the new start new diary thing, I feel your pain regarding your mum, I have recently had to make the very hard decision to place mum in full time nursing care due to her dementia and the continuing difficulty all that brings
Take it one day at a time, set yourself some easy (ish) goals to achieve with regards your debt, budget and dont forget to take care of yourself (many keep reminding me on my diary)
I will be cheering you on, good Luck!

Morning folks,
I love Friday nights and Saturday mornings. Trying to be realistic about what I have to do this weekend. Am going to start by deleting my emails.

Just came across your diary. Will follow with interest. Good luck. Deleting emails sounds like a good first step. Little steps are the best way forward. No good making your "to do" list too long or you'll get more frustrated with it.Making the debt go down and savings go up
