    Your not alone we all want to have splurges and we all have setbacks but we can overcome them!


    i know just that i dont want to fall back into the trap of having splurges and setbacks cos i know if i do then i will go back into the thinking of "oh im only a tenner overdrawn, ill take another £20 out cos then im ONLY £30 overdrawn" :doh: Im an idiot like that and i seriously want to knuckle down into it.

    I know what ur saying though loubie its just that i will end up giving my self more headaches if i let myself lapse.

    Serioously debating on wheather or not i should go on a cheap holiday i have been offered in September. Basically there will be 4 of us driving down into France and we only have to split the £160 on the eurostar 4 ways which is basically £40 each (plus petrol costs), and spending money Approx £200 for two weeks. But im debating wheather or not to go at the moment as i want to make as much a dent in the loan as big as possible :o .........

    Just had to go and get my new travel card in my lunch break, although it was £29 for the month i had it budgeted for so am pleased with myself, even the Trainstation Cashier said i was looking happy, so i told her that its cos ive finally managed to keep to a budget this month and thats made me happy.


    Im definatley feeling more upbeat as this week draws to a close :j

    cheers dude, nope was strong willed although i must admit i have spent my weekly budget for buying stuff for next week co i had to put £10 in my brothers card today cos its his birthday spent a fiver on petrol and got food for the week which was anther £6. Basically i will have to sacrifice going out if anyone offers but it shouldnt be to much of a hardship cos there will be other times to go out :j
