today is going to be a positive day I am determinded.

We have been caught up in the XL.com fiasco but it seems to be getting sorted so the holiday we had booked for next year is now cancelled and if I am honest I am quite pleased. We can now look forward to more money to put towards out debts, we have £700 to come back, eventually.

Sorry to hear you were caught up in xl, but glad that you are viewing it positively. Those no spend days soon add up.

Hi Floks

Not checked in for a few days, been working.

I have had a good run on NSD and I think I am up to 11 now so really pleased with that. Trying had to keep away from the shops, but its not easy at all.

Have made £40 in three weeks recylcling old mobile phone thru quidco so that is going straight to the debt fund, I will be far happier when its all sorted. Living within my means is not as hard as I thought, could still do better as teachers always say<

Hi folks,

Its been a few days since I visited this thread, but hey I am still trying really hard. Another NSD for me today and I think I into a routine of doing my daily clicks and hope they will bear fruit in a couple of months.

Back to work tommorrow, but will have to do a bit of shoopping after work.

I am feeling more in control again, so hoping this is a good start.

Another NSD for me hopefully and I have just started a tomato sauce with toms out of our greenhouse so another little money saver there.

Pound a day is going well and will be starting the sealed tin challenge in January.
