Hi BTD. You're doing brilliantly!

Weather here still good, no need of heating - trying to hold out til November. Mind you our fuel DD is £197 a month!! In first flush of debtbusting last year, switched to E-On, they set the DD too low while they "looked at our consumption patterns" and lo, we ended up underpaying by £600 over the (admittedly cold) winter. Plus everyone else in my house never ever switches a light off, I go round doing it but my OH is the real problem - every night he leaves the bathroom and hall lights on - IT DRIVES ME MAD!!

Take care

It is still quite mild in this part of the world, so I've not had to think about putting the heating on yet, but have to admit to taking a hot water bottle to bed on a couple of occasions!

Normally, I put the heating on as soon as I feel the first chill, because we have had a student paying to stay with us, and they are not paying to stay in a cold house (although they are from Norway, so they are very used to putting on an extra layer, but that's not the point!)......

but this year, with only my lot in the house, we are going to try and see how long we can last in the interests of saving a bit of money!

**off to find thick socks and fleecy blankets**

oooh i hear you on the cold front beat the debt. I'm all snuggled up in bed (again) to try and keep from putting the heating on... and as for a hot water bottle, I haven't got that far yet but I can't wait until I get mine out, it's a piglet one and I love it!!!! hmmmm maybe I could do some housework to keep warm...... hmmmmm maybe not!!!

oooh thick socks hypno, I love mine, I'd forgotten all about them, they're a bit like bed socks I have lots of pairs in lots of colours.......

***wanders off to find a pair***

:hello::hello:Hi, well today four of us in work have set up a dinner club it was my turn today and we had ham salad complete with egg and cottage cheese and beetroot! We have come to realise that if we take a turn each we should cover the week! So i only have to take dinner one day salad etc cous cous whatever! Please let me know if any flaws in plan me thinks it wont last long anyway!:rolleyes:like everything we start).:rotfl:.
Going to argos tommorrow to get little Js wii as there is a free mario kart etc so good buy! I have some shifts in nov and dec in my friends coffee shop so this will be paid for from that money will go back in to account.:T
Hope your all having a good debtbusting mse day!:D

missymoo81

hey hun, sounds like you're doing well, only making lunch once a week, you can't go wrong can you!!!

And that is a good buy mario kart by itself is close to £40 I think.

How's the heat situation today? I think it's slightly warmer today, I'm still snuggled in bed though, but that's more through laziness than being cold!!!!

keep up the good work chickie, and between us we can stomp our debts down.

lol i have to admit to spending hours on here, literally as soon as i get home from work i just jump into bed and get stuck in on here, reading diaries and getting tips for different things. Going to buy some veggie starter kit things from wilko at the weekend in the hope that i can start to grow some of my own food. Hopefully it will help with the money situation... most of my money seems to go on food.... does yours or is it just me????

BEAT_THE_DEBT

Yes food is a huge chunk but we have gt it down to £50 per week for three of us and we eat really realy lovely homecooked (by hubby) food.x
Just t show off the coffee shop i work in sometimes is the one the hairy bikers filmed in!
