Morning diary!

Pay day today woohhooo!!! Still 5 days until the end of the month but I am well underspent which I am really pleased about.
I am currently £350 underspent on what I spent last month so im really pleased. Filled the car up this morning which absolutely crippled me at £61 lol! Then theres the shopping so still got a bit to spend but wont be anywhere near £350!

Catch up soon...

Well done on the underspend! Though - £61 on petrol?! Thats horrific - I think you would have been quite justified to lay on the floor of the garage shop and cry!

Haha Carole, I think maybe I should have done. As the pump was getting well past £50 I was thinking what the hell... Its never been that much before but then again I dont think the diesel prices have been this high since ive had this car. Its a Zafira so its a big car to fill, just hoping it lasts well into the month!

Good afternoon diary, very very long time no type!!

Thought id best give myself a bump seen as ive been away for well over a month.

Had a very expensive month of May with a weekend away and a family holiday. Still loads to pay out for the next few months, so my plan is to get ebaying again!!

Catch up soon..

Your back! Hello!:hello:

mummytogirls

Thanks for the welcome Carole!

Ive been off work for a fair few weeks in May and its hard trying to keep up at home with little ones running around.
Been keeping my spending diary though, need to add it all up which ive not done for May yet!!

Just a little update!

Ive just worked out my debt as at today, this currently stands at £19406.61. This doesnt sound too good but comparing to £20444.00 on 2rd March, this means ive paid off £1037.39 :T.

Very pleased with myself as ive managed to get the figure down a bit. Would have liked it to be more but ive had a couple of expensive months, so giving myself a pat on the back!!

mummytogirls

Absolutely shocked. Just totted up my May spending and its over £1200! I knew id spent a lot but not this much!

Right once I get sorted, I really need to start saving £x a month for these situations..

HI mummy, loving the diary and have subscribed.
I bet its a good feeling getting your Debt under 20k.
Goodluck and keep going.

£1037.39 is a fantastic figure - well done!:T

Thank you pennywise, ive subscribed to yours too didnt even know you could do that! I do try and stalk everyones diaries but theres so many its easy to come back and be on page 10 or something if you havent posted in a while.

I felt very good yesterday when I realised, its given me the motivation again which I needed after my month of high spending in May!

Weve just done a sweepstake at work for the world cup and I got Spain, which isnt too bad!! Id better win now haha!!
