Hi
Payday tomorrow so have just totted up my savings towards my overdraft, £239.45! Am really pleased with this in one month
I know June will be an expensive month for me but I am determined not to dip back into this. Baby steps plan means I might not pay any more off - but every bit helps
In June I can cancel my gym membership - £28 per month straight to overdraft payment, and hopefully reduce my mobile tarriff - another £10 per month towards it
My other target for June is to get my food shopping under control. Meal planning/big supermarket shop doesn't really work for me - I end up wasting loads but I plan to buy daily essentials only - and no treats! I am supposed to be on a diet after all :rolleyes:
And am going to try spending only cash, rather than debit card. I have a habit of buying 'extras' so I spend a respectable amount to justify card payment

Fab night out last night with work colleagues, was really good. Had a couple of moments when I thought 'I'm too old for this' but had a really good time. Haven't been to a club for ages
Spend was big but no more than expected and have had fruit and diet coke today so no really bad hangover food Sometimes it's hard to walk in a single woman's shoes - that's why we need really special ones!Total debt @ Oct 2008: £29,226.42 Credit Card- £[STRIKE]7493.56[/STRIKE] - £7243.56Weightloss : 0/34lbs0 -
