Another Woo Hoo!! Pay day today.

It cleared my overdraft and I've sat down tonight and put figures down on a spreadsheet for what's going into the bank and what's going to come out of the bank.

I've set myself a weekly food budget of £40 (don't know if that's enough but I'm going to try and stick to it (averaging it over the month as I'm going to try and do a big shop this weekend). I've taken more advice from here and also got a spreadsheet page and am keeping track of my daily spending.

Also now have a spreadsheet page of everything I've got in my freezers and have worked out two weeks of menus using as much as I can from the freezers,

I have two other credit cards, one that I've already paid off, and one that I've never used. Today I have contacted the card companies and have cancelled both of them. I've also looked into doing a balance transfer for my tesco card (nearly all of it anyway) which will be on 0% interest with a 2.98% fee on the transfer amount for 14 months. Hope to sort that out next week.

Phew... a busy evening
Anyway, I can smell the bread cooking now so may indulge in a slice with butter and marmite

Total debt is now at £12,146.68.

Shockingly I haven't updated on here :o But I am still trying to keep up with the challenge.

I have paid off 2352.49 since I started. Or rather should say WE have considering I do have an OH:rotfl:

We are starting on a DMP so things will be changing but hoping we can save for some f&f if I can reign in the spends a bit more! I'll try and update more often!

I am also a shocker, I have not posted either, but have been working on it, and have been updating my sig, so quietly nibbling away
