thats a lovely idea. needhelpsaving will mention to family members when the question arises and see what they think. thankyou
still on track regarding budget it seems to be working seeing what we spend in cash rather than just paying on card makes you think twice before handing it over.
made £35 so far selling some stuff
still got to pay that cheque in DP forgot last week. so should be able to clear £300 off debt next week and put a small amount in savings to try and break the cycle of relying on the credit card for any unexpected expenses.
went to see my uncle who is ill in hospital today. it was nice to catch up and DP survived with both kids
so everyones happy

have some people interested in some of my items just waiting on confirmation and payment
cc debt £703.25
cat debt £147.55p
total debt to date £850.80p
this time last month our debt was £1367 and savings £100
today our debt is £850.80p and savings £0 plus im still waiting for £90 to clear in the bank
including the £90 to clear that means our savings are £10 less in the bank
we have paid off £516.20 in debt
we also have £80 up for xmas
£40 towards bike insurance etc
£40 in our clothes fund
and £20 for essentials till i take the money out next week for the following fortnight
its been tight but seeing it broken down like that has made it worth it 200 weeks £25,000.00 / £7000 -

why is it everything seems to be going ok and then something sets you back. im so annoyed ... had a small accident this weekend ... by fault and due to insurance excess of £500 we are now back to where we were when i first started this diary if not worse. im so annoyed with myself. luckily no one was hurt. money is nothing with these sorts of things im just glad everyone was ok but it still means ive took 10 steps back or so to say
i try everything to be as frugal as possible ... but its things like this that set us back.
i cant wait till we have an emergancy fund for this sort of thing instead of relying on the credit card
ive also had a poorly baby ... and my nana is in hospital ... 2014 is not my year at all ... i try to make things better and just seem to get slapped in the face
sorry everyone im normally so optimistic but im having a week where im starting to wonder why i bother
tomorrow is a different day and hopefully will be a better one 200 weeks £25,000.00 / £7000 -
hi all going to have a nice cosey saturday night with films/tv and the duvet
ive been trying to get an update to know where we are but online banking is very slow the last week or so
im hoping it will be lest than the £1700 i originally predicted
we will get there. ive only got 3 more presents for the kids and adults left to buy for for xmas so hopefully i will some in way under budget
ds2 bday presents are also brought
not sure if grandma is popping in tonight.
my nana did have another stroke. but all being well will be back home next week
ive been working hard at my uni work
all good news altho there is no news financially
i really hope 2015 gives us abit of a break and is a better year for us
we are contamplating maybe getting married next year providing things are looking better financially altho it will be a very frugal wedding on a shoe string but i dont care. i just want it too be legal man and wife and my nana able to be there ...
i have big dreams regarding career in the future. some days i think why am i bothering i could waste the next 6 years of my life because i wont get a place for my 2nd degree but on a good day i think if i dont try i will never know. i really hope it will all be worth it. unlike most i will only have 1 shot so my chances are slim but im trying to stay optimistic i want it so much no one would ever believe.
anyway things are going well so far.
ive been getting good scores so hopefully i can keep that up 200 weeks £25,000.00 / £7000 -
