My clearing the cards and saving for a holiday diary

Soo hungover today but had great fun with my mate and my bro and his boyf. Not very MSE though, need to pay a bit to my debts when I get paid.

Also am setting myself a challenge to bring my food shop down next month. Love doing my online shop but fancy a change and am hampered by the fact that I don't have a big freezer so am going to aim for a £40 food budget and only shop twice a week. Going to do it mainly at Aldi. This should mean lots of nice fresh veg, homemade soup etc which will be good for me too. May go to the Indain supermarket tomorrow if I'm not too hungover and get a few bits.

Cleaning the house today and going to get ready in a bit. Meant to be meeting my mate after work but she's not replied yet as to what time. Money is running a bit low so am looking forward to payday on Thursday X

Two nights out in a row? I can not handle that! LOL!

Hope it was a good one, I get paid Thursday too thank god!

Yes it was fun. Spent loads though!!!

Had a good day yesterday. Met my friend and we went into town. Didn't buy anything just had a wee sunbed and did some PR bits for work then came home and cleaned. Went to my mates last night for tea and biccies and that was fun.

Back to work tomorrow, going to Edinburgh to the shop there this week for some training and I'm really looking forward to that. Just need to do a few dishes and prep work stuff today and seeing another friend for a (cheap) catch up!

Ooh it's Elaine Paige on Radio 2, I love it! Mate and I are going to go and see Les Miserables in May. I love musicals.

SOOO skint this week. Got just over £7 to do me til Thursday!!!! Had to get passport pics for my train ticket for work so going to present boss with the receipt for them and see if she gives me it back. It's £5.95 so that would be handy. Got plenty of food in, just need bread or eggs for brekki and cottage cheese for my oatcakes for a healthy snack for work. Have got a £4 M and S voucher left but grudge paying their prices for bits and bobs when I could get a lovely dinner for that iyswim! God I'm tight these days.

Need to look at next months budget soon as my month starts on Thursday when I get paid! Hacking my grocery budget next month from £65 to £40. Know I could eat better and cheaper and live ABOVE an Aldi so no real reason not to give it a go. I'm going to keep it in a seperate purse and have lots of ideas from the OS board already!

Right will away and get in the shower so I'm ready for my mate when she calls me X

What a good idea! Shame I'm completely handless at stuff like that. Main problem for me will be avoiding the £3 wine aisle!!!

Evita is my all time fave - seen it a few times

Souk08

OOh me too, think I've seen it 3 times. Love it! Loved the movie too X

Need to go and get my face on. Mate has just rung to say that's her heading into town. I need notice!!!! I'm showered but in trackies and no slap so it will take me more than a few minutes. She's a scruffbag just now but I can't do that! Spk later X
