    But I was then given a lovely surprise and was given £500 by a family member! Which covers the difference in salary and more.

    What a lovely gesture :)

    I know and the funny thing was , he didn't know about the salary being lower it was just a coincidence. I've been disciplined as it's so easy to think I wasn't expecting that money so sod it! But I'm being realistic!

    Steps going well and think I have lost at least 2lbs this week but will officially do the weigh in tonight and update my signature.

    I weighed myself last night and have lost 3lbs:j

    I have made some payments thanks to the £500 gift.

    I am going to have to ensure I stick to a very tight budget, we still need to clear £1280 off by Christmas!

    Thanks, just hope it doesn't stop there!

    Today is payday so will pay the minimums and adjust our debt spreadsheet. I've only allocated £60 food shopping per week so I think I will need to try and meal plan for the month as it's going to be tight.
  • Morning :)

    Well done on the weight loss and yay to payday.
