My Diary - SmellyOldSock

Have checked on-line banking and our tax credits have gone up.

Have decided to move the excess that isn't in my budget into savings to help pay more off our cards.

Also a bit concerned incase they've made an error so extra money will be there to pay back if necessary.

Otherwise things are going along nicely

Well after convincing my dear hubbie we don't need sky movies (to reduce costs as well) I have just rang them to cancel.

After much questioning on what sort of films we enjoyed and me moaning about not alot being on at the mo have been offered 3 months at half price! So have decided to accept this kind offer, hubbie will be pleased, he loves some of the movie channels!

Just make sure you ring up after the 3 months is up and cancel. You never know they may offer you another deal.

Well done with your efforts so far.

Well, i've not been doing too bad.

My depression has crept up on me, so its been a bit hard going, not very motivated at the moment.

The grocery challenge is going ok, just wish hubbie would cut down his beer intake! That would help a great deal.

We're moving the 1st week in june, my mind is all over the place. Have managed to sort out cheap electricity and gas supplier. Only reason we were with EDF was coz with anyone else we got charged a fee for them using EDF equipment.

Today I will hear about another cleaning job. The pay is good, its cleaning holiday houses. Can fit it around the kidlets which is good.

I'm getting slight panic attacks due to Hubbie having to have time off work to have an operation on his hand. He did speak to the boss and they will pay him basic wage as he'll only be off for 3-4 weeks, so things not as bad as I first thought.

Some good news is, I've managed to claim my PPI back from Lloyds Tsb. They sold me in the insurance beginning of last year knowing that I worked part time (very) so cancelled it and am now receiving a nice payment! With interest! Keep checking on-line banking to make sure it goes in!

Hi Charlotte,

great news about the ppi & new job hope all ok with your DH's op ?

Hope you're coping ok with the nasty D, you know the way to my PM box if you need it . I'm currently coming off my anti -d's which is very confusing as they're all labelled for each day & now I have to only take one every other day so not entirely sure I'm doing the right thing on the right day :rolleyes:

take care

Well were do I start. I've let things really slide. With moving and my depression I've managed to INCREASE my debts!

Stupid I know, I'm so angry with myself. I hate myself. I'm so low at the moment, every day is a struggle.

My hubbie seems to think money grows on trees, the stepkids do too. I'm tired and fed up with trying to please everyone, and not getting anywhere.

i'm not behind on any payments, but we're back in the overdraft.

could some one kick my butt please?!?!
