Just thought I'd say hello. Had my LBM 29.10.08 so not too far in front of you. Good luck. It's a great place....and yes highly addictive!

hiya natsplatnat, i have just started looking at my money situation and trying to cut down what i spend and have found it slightly addictive!! always looking for the best deal and its only been a week but am starting to hate handing over my money! I too spend a lot of time on here but have found some great tips (things i would never have thought of) and suggestions, big and small.
keep up the good work,

Morning Angie!!

This weekend I spent......... £0.00!!!

Mainly due to my OH being lovely - next week is a better week for me.... no payments going out (that I know of!) so I will do the shopping etc.

How was your weekend? Did you come up with any other ideas for DS crimbo pressie?

Nat

Morning Paul!

How did your weekend go?

I can't believe that I already hate spending money! Due to being paid weekly this week is not a good one for me (payments going out almost all the spare cash I have on my OD) so I am going to have plenty of NSD's this week!

My debt wont really start going down until next week - I'm quite looking forward to seeing what extra I can afford to throw at it!!!

Well done on the NS weekend!

Still have no ideas really for xmas, have already bought a few small bits - HSM CD, junir scrable etc. Really need to go through the xmas box to see whats what. Have been thinking about a wii though, just that would be my whole xmas budget! Dont really have anyone to buy extras as its just him and me, plus its his birthday on the 22nd Jan! Desisions desisions, i know he would be over the moon though if i did.

Angie, Have you looked at any pre-owned ones? Not sure what the availability is like at this time of year though.

Well here I am - still going!

Not really done much since moving my 2 Egg card balances to a 0% deal for 9 months. This week is a bit tight as to stop me from going over my OD limit, I have £5 to last me until Friday (the delights of being paid weekly is that you don't have huge peaks and troughs of money - you are just permanently on the limit!)

Since being paid last Friday, have only spent £2.90 for postage of 2 ebay items that I have sold. There should be a bit of money in Paypal now. I might just see if I can leave it there for as long as possible (or until I really really really need it!)

Might try and see if I can lower my mobile tariff tonight - although with the cold that I seem to have developed today, trying to get people to understand me is becoming a little problem.

So, 2 more days until I get paid. There is plenty of food at home and there's enough diesel in my car. All I really want is some cigarettes - but, if I can't afford them I will have to nick a couple of my OH's roll-ups!

Thats all for now folks!! :beer:

Good luck on lasting on a £5!! I have £3.83 left of my £10 budget but I'm kind of enjoying spending less! It's nice to feel that I'm finally doing something about this debt!! Looks like you started about the same time as me - I'm really looking forward to getting all my credit card statements this month (first time for everything!) and being able to actually see that I've made a difference to the amount I owe!!
