A fair bit of my original debt was also from scrapbooking! It really is expensive - have set aside a budget now and my aim is to 'earn' it back each month. So along with doing some exam marking tonight I'm going to list one thing on ebay too - taking baby steps but feel better for coming back to the board actually.
Seax- 18 mins lol!!

HI all
The 'extra' marking has now finished - no idea how much I've earned, but I'm hoping I will be able to buy carpet for the stairs and bedrooms. Fingers crossed, eh?
Well, don't really know where to start!! So much has happened.
A couple of weeks ago I told OH I wanted to end things completely. He was set to leave and move out etc. I suggested counselling - felt so sad that it was just ending, and I don't want it to end without trying everything and anything really. So we had our first session on tues, it was ok, have 'profound' issues apparently and are going back on Weds. We'll just have to see what happens. I really don't know.
Money wise, things are pants - been spending too much, causing me stress again! Been having a bit more of a social life, which has been wonderful, but I'd forgotten just how much it eats into budgets! Also scrapbooking, although not been done recently due to exam marking, also eats into the budget, even if it is just card and adhesive etc. Need to sort that.
So, a little up and down here. Need to get sorted but quite frankly am all over the place so will keep trying!!
I hope I'm able to catch up and hope everyone is well!!
