Managed another £50 off the debts, know March and April aren't going to be as good debt busting, but even if I can get £400 off for the next couple months, be good going.
Sounds daft, but I feel quite positive about debt busting.

Was going to do snowball, but think I'd have a heart attack, just carrying on as I am, because touch wood it seems to be working....

Even getting use to paying cash or debit card, rather than before would go on credit card, and bargain hunting, making a big batch of bolognese, mince base for shepherds pie and may even be nice to dad and do him a beef stew in the slow cooker.

Got stew bag £1 each or 2 for £1.40 from Netto, as they had lean mince beef £2 a pack or 2 for £3, so be cooking session at the weekend.

Well done on the debtbusting..you are doing great.
Paying by cash/debit card is a great idea as you're not increasing the debt.
You'll have a fair few meals out of that mince and stuff...and so cheap.

I got my assisgnment done,missed out 3rd as I was sort of doing more than what the tutor had suggested, but pleased to say got 60/100, really impressend with that, considering their was 5 sections to the course work and I only did one!!

I've brought myself a treat, but naughty but ordered 3 dresses from Holy Clothing (on ebay), the clothes are goegeous, there all hand made - come from India, thou the company based inAmerica,, spent £50 that includes postage with ins.

Had some dresses from there before and over the summer live in them, can't wait now.

Hoping that Monday, can look at Marchs balance see whats left in the bank and chuck some more money as bills, would love to do £100, but think be more like £50, all helps in long run.

Taking dd and her friend to see up 2mor, then McDonalds forlunch, drop the girl off and do some baking.....

The plan
sauisage and tomato casserole
Beef in beer (stew thingy)
Beef in redwine

Minced beef based for Shepherds pie
Plently of bolognese bases for dd,

The idea being that can freeze everything into single portions for the freezer, could be fun, between slow cooker and the oven.....

Well done on the marks.
You have to treat yourself sometimes and that sounds very reasonable.
Sounds like a good day with the girls is planned but a very busy one in the kitchen for you.
