Hi All,

Just to say sorry I haven't been about the last couple of weeks after you were all so supportive the day I got accepted! Work has been crazy busy and I have been going home wrecked plus trying to get my head around the IVA etc!
I cannot believe I haven't made it on here in so long, time flies thats for sure!

xx

Do not worry about it pod_moo I've only just come back after about 4 months of being away from the site. Could not believe I had not visited in so long!

Thanks everyone, I just felt guilty as I am in a position to offer support to the newbies having just started my journey but having no time!

BOL - Apart from my job being very stressful at the moment so I am shattered all the time, things are good. I am sticking to my budget well and it helped I don't have to make my first payment until my next wages. I have taken the money out and put enough to one side to cover my MOT and car tax for September and the rest I have put to one side for a rainy day. I have had some quiet weekends as I am going to my friends for the weekend at the end of the month (the long one) so I wanted to be tight for the rest of the month so that I can really enjoy that weekend and not worry!

How is everyone?

Apart from that I'm ok!

welcome back pod-moo and Luke,
nice to see you both back.
pod-moo it can get quite addictive searching out the bargains and seeing how much you can save. We get quite a thrill from seeing if we can beat the previous months extra at the end of the month, this works well till you have a 5 week month [:D][:D]

Its Easter holidays for me - so Im quite busy trying to entertain n stop bickering between my 2 boys!!!!
Plus Im going away next week, so Im busy trying to get all washing done n dusted & house clean before we go! Trouble is with the boys at home, cleaning is pointless & I never see the bottom of the wash basket!
