Hi Folks,
Just thought I would say hello as I have not been on for a while. I am still plodding along. I will try and post an update in the next few days

Hi Folks,
Well it has been an expensive month as I had MOT and car insurance and road tax coming out. The MOT wasn't too bad and nothing major needed to be done, but it all adds up. I have become quite lazy recently with the money saving and I need to get back into gear and get motivated again.
I need to sit down and work out the accounts and get back to it.

Hi Folks,
Well had a good sit down and worked out the accounts. I have set a few targets for the rest of this month.
1) To manage 8 NSD's - I am currently on 2 so far
2) To complete a PAD of £5 on my visa card in addition to my normal payments.
3) To try and earn some extra income by matched betting and continue trading.
Tonight I managed to make a small profit on the West Ham Vs Middlesbrough match (£3.64). That takes my trading total for the month to £106.76.DFW#972 LBM2 (09/07/12) £25938.84; Current £23783.35;Credit Credit Card1 £128.47/£6424.24 (2%);Credit Card2 £443.86/£15663.25 (2.8%); Overdraft £0/£2500 (0%)0 -
Hi Folks,
Well managed to carrry out another PAD today of £5. I also managed a NSD, so that is 3 for the month.
I also did a bit of trading tonight on the Man City Vs Chelsea match and managed to make £13.06.
I have the week off from work next week, not going away, but if the weather is nice, might have a few days out with the lovely gf, but they will have to be frugal ones of course.

Hi Folks,
Well I managed another run last night. One thing I have been highly motivated recently is losing this weight. I have lost 13lbs since the begining of Feb. I am now back under 15 stone, which is the first time since last June.
Hopefully I can keep it up and get back to my old fitness a few years ago.

Well done on the weight loss MF. I have managed 10 lbs since January - slowly but surely its coming off.
I have had a bad month with transport costs - a new tyre for DH's motorbike - 2 new tyres for my car and some bake pads and shoes and something else for the brakes - all told around £800 and "only" had around £400 in the car/bike account. But at least I had something in there. In the old days it would have been a credit card job. Just had to get back and sell some bike bits on Ebay to put towards it.Debt free and Keeping on Track0 -

Well done with the weight loss MrsP, it is hard to start with, but I enjoy the running now. Yeah cars, can't live with them, can't live without them.

Hi Folks,
Well no NSD for today as I had to get some tomatoes and bread on the way home from work.
I managed another PAD day today of £5, so please with that.
I did not do any trading tonight, no football matches on, so I had a relaxing night with the gf catching up with Alcatraz, a new lost type show. Also watched house, I so love that show.
I have just been watching John Bishops sport relief show. I have got to take my hat off to that guy, awesome.
I have just donated £5 to sport relief, so if anybody can help, please donate.

What happens when you stop caring for yourself?
Did you ever do the coast to coast mf? xxDebt free - Is it a state of mind? a state of the Universe? or a state of the bank account?
