I am super de dooper busy this coming week so might be my last post for a bit. I had an incredible time last night tying up loose ends with things I need to do before going away, a lot of them money saving, like CTC and WTC form etc. Today I am going on a big night out, been planned for ages and will probably spend loads of money, but on the other hand, the tickets hotel etc are already paid for so hopefully just drinks and a meal. Costing me a fortune but you only live once and I have been very ill the last few months. I deserve it.0

Hi guys hope your all good. Shame about the tickets ktjazz, you never know your luck something else good may be just round the corner.
Well am feeling fairly positive too today!! Its friday so the start of the weekend, plus its half term next week, so i get a week off!!
Haven't posted past few days as haven't been too good, the joys of doing a counselling course means it brings up lots of carp!! Also had the pamper party last night. Only ended up doing four treatments but they all seemed really happy and the woman said she would book me again and some of her friends were keen to book further treatments, so all looking fairly positive.
Not doing too many things today as my partner has an old school mate coming to stay, so no real time for money saving.
However:
-I am using library computer, so free computer access and less use of elec at home
-Have been out all day and wont get home till 10ish, so again, no use of elec or gas
-Have sorted out and rescheduled mystery shops and looked for more mystery shops.
-Will go and pay wages into bank and cheque from last night
-Go to friends house and give her a treatment for which she is paying
-Have a takeaway with a mate, its not dfw, but we will be staying in and watching a dvd and having a girly night in, which is good as otherwise we may have met up tomorrow and gone shopping!!
-Have done some work for counselling assignment
-Registered with nhs dentist and booked my first appointment
-Gone through consultation forms and sorted out some bits and pieces for my business and have put a poster up at work.
-Gone on ebay to find my trainers, but keep getting outbid!!
-Will look for more oils in a mo, as although i have lots, i want to buy some more
-Will work on case studies in a mo.
-Will look on freebie section
-Going to walk round town and look at which shops i can display my leaflets in
-Look into the magazine the woman last night told me about
Think thats it for me today, everyone have a great day and will catch up with you all tomorrow.:j Live on £4500, £2531/£4500:T 101 in 1001 (52/101):j:beer::j

Seetickets.com got plenty of Oasis tickets for Edinburgh left so looks like I'm going after all - £40 not saved! I did notice that petrol is even less than I thought at the moment at 95.9p so I'll count that as a saving!Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!0

Well done Andy - what brilliant work you've done this past month!!!
Me tonight, - helped out a pal, and bought some plants from her as she is leaving the island (dont ask
about the price) she's having money worries so feel as if its for a good cause. She chucked in a few freebies too so all good.
Roast tatties and home made bread for tea, fancied a chippee tea but queues too long, so had to improvise, now nice and full on reduced extra special roast spuds (17p) and a bit homemade bread given from a pal.
Working so hopefully no spend
Kids watching movie etc
Fancy a bottle of wine, but its evil and I am working so just need keep myself occupiedTotal debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
