Budget living woes
Hi all,
I sold the carrier that I should never have bought, and also sold some live role play costume that I'm not using any more. The funds just vanished into the current account and seemingly didn't touch the sides. This month would have been horribly sparse without that extra coming in. I really am freaking out about how we are going to manage on the DMP budget for another 6 years.
DD1's bargain birthday went pretty well, the only traumas were the sort that overwrought 6 yr olds cause and nothing to do with any debt / lack of money issues.
We are incredibly lucky that my Dad is able to help us financially, and last week he bailed us out again when our car broke a spring and needed £250ish of repairs. I am equally mortified that age 37 I am still needing his help and pathetically grateful that he can help out when we need him to.
DMP wise we are waiting to hear from creditors who CCCS will have contacted re the new lower payment offers since we lost our child tax credit / working tax credit...I can't remember which is which *shame*.
Payday on wednesday and need to take DD for school uniform and some normal clothes too, she's shot up in the last couple of months and everything is too short for her now. As much as I love shopping, I hate that I have to buy frugally for her now I want to argue to DH that it makes more sense to buy quality that will last to be handed down to DD2, but he is sadly right when he says that we can't afford quality and it has to be Primarni or second hand. He also doesn't want DD2 to have to wear all hand me downs as she gets older.
I hate that my girls are paying for my stupidity and selfishness
