    I had a good saturday, (lets not talk about work) not good today. Mum's hands are bad, I had a tummy ache all day. I am very poor. I did take money out of the ISA, made me a bit sad. But mum has lost access to her bank and although we have called up twice we still don't have it back. As soon as I can I will change her bank to another other! They have been useless. 
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    It is. 

    I made the decision to BT my regular card. I am in SO much debt suddenly. Mum does owe me about 550 I think and I am due refunds. I still have such a shocking approach to money. Even after all this time. 

    I am now about 6000 in debt :(  The loan is 3000 and 3000 on the CC. 

    My big plans to be out of debt by October seem crazy now. 

    I can't pay 1000 a month now. I think I will focus on the loan. I think honestly I am giving myself a break. This has been an impossible few months. Mum probably owes me more that the 550, but I lose track of it all - I do hate money and losing my second job has been a real kicker. I hadn't really accounted for all the pet stuff it covered. Plus my poor girl has has an eye infection that has taken about 300 pounds so far. 



    Nevertheless she persisted.
