Hi Jamie,

I was getting worried as you'd not been around. I'm sure you'll soon get things sorted again. Sometimes life just gangs up against you - I think it's a test of character but why oh why does it have to keep checking:D I've missed your blog too.

All the best
Deborah

what a complete nightmare. my laptop died just after the last time i posted on this thread and it has taken til today to get it fixed, so i havent been able to post on here:(

anyways, the money thing is getting slightly better, all the birthdays are out the way and now i can get back on track with paying back what i owe:)

aww just caught this...hugs for you! The old debt free journey is a lifelong thing me thinks....up & down and we just keep trying. Would it be worth doing an updated soa?

It is lovely to see you again Jamie - better circumstances would have been nice, but we all hit bad patches unfortunately

JAMIEDODGER

thanks

i will be sitting down again this weekend and working all the money out again. having not internet access also meant i couldnt do any proper banking as i have an internet only current account!

well the laptop lasted a day after being fixed and then died again!!

in the end i took my dads offer of buying me a new one and now i owe my parents more money!! however, at least i can now do some work and start earning again:)

i sat down yesterday and worked out all my money and have changed my tax credits so they are paid into my basic account with abbey. my maintenence goes in there too. i have left the child benefit, carers and dla in my other account to cover all direct debits.

i now have a set amount to live on per week to cover food, petrol and general living expenses, ie anything i have to pay to the schools, or clothing for the kids.

there are a few dd's that end within the next few months and when they do, i will be able to move my child benefit over to my abbey account too.

i cant believe how i have managed to get myself this much in the doo in only 6 months!!

anyway, i will be having a good browse round all the other threads this morning to see how much i have missed in the last month and if there are any good challenges around.

tomorrow i will be contacting the banks to get them to send me the info of internet banking so i can look at my accounts:)
