  • HWG - How do you do it? You must be living on fresh air or beans on toast constantly (without butter on the toast of course!!:)) You are an inspiration. :T

    I definately think beans on fresh air this month, boy have i cut the budget to the bone but the sooner this is gone we can start to live again although I dont know that im missing some of the things we have given up. I feel i appreciate it more if we go to the cinema or out for dinner now.
    Just realised now my mortgage payment has gone out i can reduce the s/o for next month off to do it now, along with a meal plan for next week could do with the shopping coming in under £30.

    Hi Joshua Blue, my mortgage has changed rate from next month and the payment will be £400 less so I am going to throw that at the debt also the card i am clearing now has a 0% deal on it which i will use once cleared and then I plan to shuffle everything and hopefully all be 0% by april/May 2011.
    Extremely tight budget and not going out much mixed with ebay and amazon i so hope i can be debt free for 2012.
    I also plan to start daily clicks, i currently do surveys and have made quite alot in M & S vouchers which i am planning on using some for xmas.

    Todays shopping came in slightly more than i planned at £50, the ironic thing is if i run out of money I can always use my M & S vouchers to do a weekly shop :rotfl:
    Just checked mortgage and that has had less interest added than i thought :T hope this continues.

    Not a great day moneywise as had to pick a few bits up in town earlier, however I have been so busy today.
    Weather has been kind to us today so in my clean and declutter mode I have cleaned cleared and decluttered the garden and its now been put to bed for the winter.
    We were going to the cinema tonight but due to my aching body (and lack of cash) I will be making a curry and watching a movie on sky.
    On a positive note got a few £2 coins while out and sold another book on amazon think i need to find £5 to hit the 3k just wish the money cleared quicker.
