Made the final payment towards my June holiday today, so I'm saving £17.10 a month from now on :j
Booked it pre-lightbulb moment back in early 2016, but it only cost £396 (£198 each
) so I'm looking forward to that. A chance to get away from this house and this dismal town 
Just gotta save some spending money now, £15 so far03/03/2020 - The Re-Beginning of the End

Ooh, a holiday! And all paid for. It will do wonders for you. I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Fashion on the Ration challenge, 2024: Trainers 5 coupons. 5/68
20.5 coupons used in 2020. 62.5 used in 2021. 94.5 remaining as of 21/3/220 -
Just a quick update. Paid £5 off my barclaycard - I like to have nice even numbers :beer:
So at the moment its £2660. DD is going out on the 18th so then it'll be a nice even £2600
Mum sent me over a tenner to get some food. She worries too much, I'd rather she didn't send me money cos I'm pretty sure she needs it more than I do.
Debt right now:
Lloyd's CC: £670
Tesco CC: £75.40
Barclaycard: £2660
Very: £63
total: £3468.40 :mad:
Nice knowing that the Tesco CC and Very will be cleared on the 24th though :j03/03/2020 - The Re-Beginning of the End

Nice to see the numbers getting smaller!
Mums will always worry, it comes with the territory. They feel better if they think they are helping. I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

Afternoon all. I hope everyone had a good Easter filled with lots of chocolate! :icotbaske
£60 DD paid of Barclaycard today :j
I'm heading into town today to:- Replace the broken iron (insured for 3 years when I bought it )
- Deposit coin bags in the bank from my spare change jar - £8
- Buy a plain black top from Primark for my trial shift next week
- Buy cheap chocolate gifts for the three birthdays coming up :shocked:
The iron was only around £3-£4 Argos basic range. Got 3 years accidental insurance for it for only a pound! So glad I did because I dropped it a few months ago and things have snapped off. It was still working but now it leaks everywhere, so gotta go replace it.
Spare change jar consists of only coppers and 5p's but £8 is better than no pounds 03/03/2020 - The Re-Beginning of the End

The trip to town yesterday had good surprises and a bad one. Turns out the Argos store has closed down and the nearest one now is a couple of miles in the opposite direction
so gonna have to plan a trip there soon to replace the iron :mad:
I had an extra bag of pennies so I deposited £9 instead of £8
Got some much needed hair stuff for half the price at the till which was a good surprise :T
Got chocolate for the birthday presents from poundland so it only cost £3 for them. Feel kinda bad as they're more like token gifts rather than thoughful ones, but I can't afford anything more expensive
And £50 from topcashback finally was made payable so I've requested that, woop! :j

Yeah I guess so. I would be quite happy if someone just gave me chocolate as a present anyway haha :rotfl:
I'm gonna make mum some cupcakes for her birthday cake too. She wants to go camping for a night so cupcakes would be easier to bring and eat. So hopefully she'll be happy with them + the chocolate + the small gift leftover from christmas 03/03/2020 - The Re-Beginning of the End

Just made two dozen cupcakes and iced them. Presents wrapped and cards written. Washing done. Suitcase packed. Done all the things I needed to get ready for camping on Monday. *phew*
Although I've been hearing that the good old British weather is deciding to go to freezing temperatures and even snow on Monday :doh:
Yesterday I got paid £11.25 for the hour and a half training for my new job I did a few weeks ago. And also the £50 cashback has cleared in my bank :j Updated YNAB and gave myself a little leeway on 'dining out' and 'fun money' for this camping trip. Getting paid student finance on Monday AT LAST!! :beer: I can't be doing with this getting paid just 3 times a year malarky. Can't wait to get my shifts from work, fingers crossed they want me to start this semester instead of September.03/03/2020 - The Re-Beginning of the End
