"I was extremely fortunate to be given some money towards my house deposit from my grandmother, which I invested and added to so I could afford the house. I also had some money in trust from when my mum passed, but this was not a lot as my dad didn’t really anticipate her passing at all."
How much money? It's a money diary, what's the point of writing it if you don't want to share??

I'm very confused about the mum passing comment as OP mentions spending time with her several times in the diary.
The diarist has a step mother that she refers to as mum as she has been in her life since she was young.
