    Mornin JD, do u get all the summer holidays off? I sometimes feel so guilty as because fo the bills/debts i hardley ever do much with the kids (apart from when awa on holiday) as its all work, work, work....makes u think once you are in this situation what matters most in life, hindsight is a good thing tho isnt it - its just a pity none of us have it lol,

    Have a good day hun.

    day 34

    the first two days of august have been NSD's:) today looks like another one.

    had an offer of a new bed and have been wanting one for a while its costing £30 which is a real bargain:)

    really trying to keep away from the shops at the moment and have plenty of food in, so i am aiming for a lower grocery spend this month as i went over in july. hoping for £190 spend.
