Happy New Year !!
Afternoon All, hope there's not too many headaches out there today!
I've had a LSD so far today, as bought the 99p Crochet mag that Candy mentioned yesterday (Thanks Candy!). I'm trying to learn some new crafts as this should keep me occupied instead of spending ! (I'm contemplating patchwork but that's definately for another day !)
Storecupboard meals today, and using up some potatoes with tea that if left much longer would probably walk themselves to the bin !
Hope everyone has a good day x0 -

Happy new year everybody

Hope its kind to you all. We had a quiet news eve, watched some dvds and had a £3 bottle of bucks fizz. Life on the edge but on the bonus side I saved about £20 by not buying champagne and didnt have a hangover this morning so not all bad
Today I have
Checked online banking - made sure all my direct debits have come out
Updated my 'money' spreadsheet, making sure that I spend as little as possible this month, its a looooooooooooong month.
Been for a 5 mile walk this morning, good bit of exercise and at no cost
Will be eating roast beef tonight but got on it half price so will enjoy it more.
Enjoy the rest of your day everyone!0 -
Happy New Year folks

Today i am having a No Spend Day
my friend brought round all we needed to make a wonderful roast dinner, duck, spuds and veg... and she cooked it! how pampered do i feel!!!
last night i gave away all my Xmas alcohol leftovers as I decided last night was a good time to start my healthy approach to 2010...and this morning without a hangover was great!!!
I have written letters offering a manageable amount to companies I owe money to, worked out my incomings/outgoings and have a loose plan for better money management in 2010.
I have thrown the Avon catalogue in the recycling box in the shed, I don't need anything!!!
sorted 3 more things to list on ebay tonight!
Am feeling good
In 2010 I intend to lose 36.5lbs and gain 365 £s

Progress so far: 0 lbs 0 £
