in Debt-free wannabe
Thought this might give us all a few ideas about how to save!

I've only just got up, school holidays, so i've done nothing yet! Will give my contribution later.

Have a good day.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    I realised I'd gone over the credit limit of my credit card by the grand total of £7. I made a payment straight away but rather than ignoring it and letting them just whack a charge on like I would have done Pre-LBM I phoned them up and asked very nicely that they perhaps, maybe, might not want to penalise me for it.......... they agreed!

    Today I feel proud because I've got paid and I've still got enough money left over from last month to last me another month, so I won't need to withdraw a penny until the end of August! (maybe not even then - new bar job pays cash in hand!)
    Was debt free... then went travelling!

    Checked my bank account (which had nothing in at the weekend! Yikes five days from payday) and it now has the princely sum of £20, courtesy of some amazon sales.

    But I'm not going to touch it, intend to pay off my overdraft tomorrow when I get paid and that means only £130 to come out of this months pay!

    Well I've managed a no spend day as we've spent the day with grandma, auntie, cousins etc and done free stuff like parks. This weather really helps with no spend days!

    Well I really need my hair cut and coloured but today I opted for a WET CUT instead, then I quickly ran round the road and tidied it up. The colour can wait and I'm hoping this nice sunshine will highlight it for me anyway.... :cool:

    Think I'll squeeze lemon juice on it tomorrow and see what happens... :rotfl:
