Take A Good Look Around

...because I'm not coming back. No not my blog, I mean this whole rock bottom, strapped for cash, only £7.22 pence in my purse for 2 days scenario. Car is running on fumes, can't do a decent grocery shop, utility bills looming, late on a couple of cards and basically quite cross with myself for letting it happen.
So I'm not returning to this state of play again.

On the plus side I had £18 on Monday with which to feed the family for the week, and having routed through the freezer, bought a few basics, I have done it. Just got to get a couple of add ons for tomorrows evening meal and mission accomplished.

So maybe it's a good thing I can't do a full on grocery shop ? Maybe this was the lesson that needed to be learnt ? I have funds arriving in my very overdrawn bank account on Friday, and it's also payday. Today I will budget for next week while this very skint week is still fresh in my mind.

I've Ebayed and Amazoned ! Have bids and watchers, should reach target.

Going to get over this hurdle and take strength from this week. Because I really, really will do what it takes not to be this penniless again.
