    Hello,

    Everything seems to be ok at the moment, Still have £220.26 in the 4 k challenge account and have paid gas, bt and a biggish food shop. Only have £46.77 for food left but that should be fine. The cupboards are well stocked, just need some more cat litter and food really. Along with some fresh bits.

    Have extra childcare expenses this month, Tues and Weds as DS school was closed plus the half term.

    Everything should be ok and i should get some more debt cleared!!

    Hope everyone is well.

    hey Nats, hope your feeling better soon!

    Im feeling quite positive at the moment, think it was just the January blues!

    Ive managed to have some breakie today for free as one of the drivers bought in food from the cafe, bacon roll for me!

    Works been quite busy here too, but doesnt help that DS school was closed Monday, Tuesday and today and Monday, its costing a fortune in childcare! I didnt mind Mon and Tues but to close it today just seems daft to me! Never mind.

    Morning,

    Has a good weekend, didnt spend anything!!! Which is just as well as im not to sure how long i may have my current job. Really need to get on with finding a new one. I start looking and then just stop.

    Im also trying not to spend any money at all as i have no back up money at all.

    Budgets are ok so far, im finding it easier now have a seperate account for the 4k challenge, alot easier to keep an eye on money. Still have a heathly amount in there, my dad has also paid me back £50 which has gone back in.

    Anyways best get back to work while its still here!

    Afternoon,

    Ive had really bad toothache since last night and have had to book an appointment, i could wait until next tues and only pay the NHS fee or a private appointment for today for £30-40 plus any treatment - ive had top take the private one as im in pain and really dont want it to get any worse.

    Im bricking it this afternoon, now ive got dentist at 5 and an appointment at the doctors - this is not going to be a pleasant afternoon!

    Oh the joys!

    Will have to re-jig figures, and will prob use the £50

    Morning,

    Have got anti b's, turns out some work i had a couple of years ago is not correct. It all needs to be re-done, but cant have anything done until the abcess has gone. Still in pain but pills should kick in soon. Ended up paying £55. Not very inpressed as i was kept waiting until 5.40 - app was at 5.00. So missed doctors appointment. Thats all re-booked for Wednesday.

    Budgets as ever are all going wrong, will try and sort them this evening but am so tired.

    Have also realised i need to start getting my life in order, i need to decide what i WANT to do rather than just working for money. I will still work, but i need to learn or do something with my life, im only 23 and ive been stuck in the same job for 6 years, dont get me wrong, i love it here at times and they gave me a start i was so grateful of but i cant stay here forever.

    So I have alot of thinking to do me thinks.
