I've worked out that if I want to clear the Santander credit card in 12 weeks it means I need to pay £75pw to it:eek: or £10.71 per day :eek:

Well it is a challenge and I do love a challenge!!!!

I started my challenge on 25/8 and after 1 week I have paid £80.01 so I have met Week 1 target :T

I have been to work today and although I popped out to the shops I only got my son some note books for his college course, I didn't even buy any sweets for my afternoon sugar rush

The cost of the note books will come from the 'Kids' budget!!!

I have made a PAD of £10.01 today

Not been anywhere near a shop today although by late afternoon I was pondering a chocolate bar and then thought about my PAD and if I buy chocolate I won't have money to PAD!!!

Another £10.02 to Santander c/c

Fantastic EE! :T

have you tried fruit instead of a choc bar/sugary treat. It usually works for me ..or dried fruit too like raisins/cranberries etc I always have these in so can grab if I need some sugar xx keep up the good work xx

Great minds think alike - I had half a bag of mixed nuts and raisins (Sainsburys value) which I finished and I felt ok with!!!

I think I need to go to H&B for more - not sure where is cheap really - bring back Julian Graves!!!

Today I just had an extra coffee and thought how lovely a bar of chocolate would be with it - naughty EE:rotfl:

I did spend money today but as it was for DH and he is going to give me the money it doesn't count (note to self to transfer money). It was a tie for his manager who is leaving - I found a lovely one in Debenhams for £10.

Also had a committee meeting tonight and spent £7.50 on 3 drinks:mad: - that's the last time I offer to buy some drinks for people!!

Another PAD of £10.03 - not sure how long I can keep this up but I will keep doing surveys and hope some pay out!!

Accidentally brought 2 chocolate bars today - this came from the change in my purse so no money taken from the bank.

Another PAD today of £10.04.

Gosh isn't my life boring!!!
