    Thanks ani*fan you have cheered me up and I think I can do it too. An NSD today was tempted to get a bottle of fizzy drink but I thought no think long term how the little spends add up and I really wanted an NSD. DD1 came home and said her school were giving out letters for a trip to Italy £600++, this was after she had a letter for tripfor the end of scool year for £95. Luckily she is not interested in going to italy, (still got to pay for 95 one thou) schools make me annoyed they think money grows on trees.

    Thank goodness it was the cheaper trip she picked! £600 is rather eye watering. What did they get included for that?

    Really well done on the NSD!
    Trying to figure out a whole new life. Trying to figure out a whole new budget.
    Divorcing, unclear on final debt total right now, but focusing on building a financial buffer zone.

    Well yesterday and today were spendin days like I said previously I can't resist the temptation if a supermarket used my points but still spent 25 Also had a top and some toiletries which I paid for with voucher I had for christmas and points as well. Also got my sister vouchers for her birthday. So all in all I won't need to go out again to the shops till March.

    Today was an NSD Sunday lunch at parents so has been a cheap day today. Both DD are at the childminders tomorrow so that's £260 out for that. DD1 is 12 now so this is the last time she will go as she moans and she won't be alone all day my mum and sister work different shifts so she can go there a couple of hours although if she hangs out with friends she'll want money for this and that. Done a meal plan for the week just need to complete shopping list.

    I'm glad your DD1 won't need the childminder anymore. That's a saving to look forward to.

    I've spent today and yesterday bad me. Might just scrape in my target if 15nsds for feb. Had a letter from credit card saying they over charged me on interest so should get £50 credited good news also waiting for a credit from a certain home shopping channel as I had to return something faulty so that should mean at least 140 coming off the credit card. :j
