don't tempt me... today's offerings were rice with a tonne of salt ( no joke) and curry with potatoes which had turned into mash which i have a phobia about. When people say Italians are wonderful cooks they haven't met my MIL0 -

The next few weeks are so expensive, I have had to tweak my budget yet again as I forgot I am having my hair done on Saturday, only £10 but its yet another £10 less to Lloyds.
I am just going to have to accept that up until Christmas I will be spending money and then go really hard at it again in January.
I am still well on track to go sub £11k at the end of Dec (currently set to be £10,974.88) so there is no point in stressing, as I am still achieving my goal.
I just miss annoying Lloyds with my little payments!LBM Aug 09: £18,650.47 - Current: £12,854.93 (£5946.79)

I think count-down diaries to Dec 2011 sounds like a great idea!
No matter what diaries you all have I'll stalk you anyway though! :rotfl:
I think Dec is just not a good month for anyone
Still gonna try and stick with it but just accept that small failure may be inevitable
Me and another girl here have started saving our spare change in a box in her office towards the work Xmas do so that we have spending money - I have £7 so farDebt at LBM Apr 2010 £28,767 Debt free as of Nov 2013 :j0 -
The run up to Xmas is always a 'mare, I seem to be bleeding money at the moment even though I am desperately trying to be good :A. I think I will keep my diary until I am debt free then maybe start a new one about my savings plans etc.
I've bought more Xmas presents todayand I really, really want a bacon sarnie right now, it's like the most intense craving ever :rotfl:
My MIL has never cooked for me!
