Okey dokey then what's beat the debt been up too:D. Well i had ds b day party at our house 8 kids :eek:. That went well:o.
I am still putting in about 4 hrs per week in 2nd little job which is on way home from main job so no extra petrol spend.
I am still saving for hen weekend then also alongside saving for wedding outfit etc.
Put all weight back on i lost last year:eek::eek::eek::eek:.
Back on the wagon needs must!:o
Um what else?? Christmas present buying a bit slow at the mo must look at that. I do try to use 2nd job money for this.
Reall not much has changed but that ok with me i am plodding on.
If anyone new were to read this i would just say our biggest help is meal planning shopping well and looking forward and being realistic regarding a budget.
3 yrs on and oh boy do i not want to go back there even though we still have a long road ahead i feel we are "beating the debt"!!

Is it really three years, your going great guns, and you think how much you have achieved in those three years

Glad the party went ok, madam already deciding what she wants to do, and her birthday not till Sept!!

Christmas presents have come to a standstill here as well, got a good head start, about 3/4 of them, but figured after Easter, then start looking again and seeing what I can do and where we can money save! xx

I saw a programme in the week called "great British budget menu" all about how some families that we working could not afford food I have decided to go back to basics and apply all that I knew in the beginning as I have been still writing lists food planning etc. It was so sad it really affected me and made me count my blessings.
