Morning Peeps - weekly update

Options
A quick update from my week.

New bod who is renting the spare room paid the first weeks rent £60 in cash and I have put it in a pot ready for hte next cc bill to come in.

Did another bootsale and got £300 (split only 4 ways this time) so £75 raised - money gone into another pot ready for another bill to come in. I have left the pot at the pub with my tips pot which I got £20 over the weekend as well as my wages from there and they wont let me touch it unless I show them the bill I am using the money to pay. This really helps me not to have a dip into it when I feel like it.

Going to celebrate tonight with a diet coke at the pub tonight £1.40!

    cheers for all your support, it really helps. I think it is good for newbies to perhaps see that progress can be made.
    I hope I can keep it up as I do get very tired during my main day job but the thought of the debt going down even slightly makes it worthwhile - thinking ahead - dec up the pub should be good tips wise and I have said I will work xmas 23rd, 24th, and 25th as I heard last year on xmas day everyone ended up with approx £30 each on top of the extra pay!!!

    I just had a slight mishap though - forgot my lunch so just bought one from the work canteen :( - nevermind it is monday

    Sometimes I feel like getting into debt :eek: just to have the satisfaction of working my way out of it and be able to put post like that.

    My sincere compliments, bluezone, you have what it takes and you'll be debt free in no time!
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.
