    Have just been to the MIL's for tea, stew which is my worst kind of meal lol!


    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 MIL

    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!

    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 :o

    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 far :)

    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 today :o and 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!

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D

    Now I want a bacon sarnie, that was mean lol!

    I want to keep the same diary until debt free, so I can look at it as one long journey. I will then start a savings one for the new me and new stage of my life :)
