    Demolishing my House of Debt.. one brick at a time!! :)
    Thinking of spending???..YNAB says "NO!!!!"


  • Hi Haven't posted on this thread before,

    Were going away camping at the weekend but said we'd get a 'treat' on the way instead of having to cook when we get there.

    I got the bus today and on the back of the ticket is a saver offer at Macdonalds £1.99 for a Big Mac and fries, but I only had one ticket as I was on my own so I picked up a discarded one off the floor!! :o

    Wouldn't normally go there but as I subjected myself to floor skimming were going!!

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Evening all,

    Have had a reasonably DFW day today:
    • Breakfast at home
    • Went to parents for lunch and got free cheese on toast ;)
    • Charged ipod at work
    • Went to gym after work
    • Printed off my 12-week challenge goals and stuck them to my computer to remind me
    • Chilli from the freezer for tea - bulked out with lentils and baked beans to feed me, OH and OH's friend.
    • Made granola from left over bag of horrible value museli
    Have donated the last portion of chilli to OH's friend who has been unemployed for 3 months and not having much luck job hunting. I thought his need was greater than ours.

    Fay/KT that's good news for you/OH's jobs, how awful for the people who got let go though, talk about a nightmare.

    Still haven't made any progress on the bathroom :mad: that is DEFINITELY tomorrow's job!

    Night all xx
