    yeah i suppose, but it is annoying when you got to get into more debt to get things done, after my holiday in may all my savings are going on clearing the cc and catalogue then busting the cu loan

    It's not like you've used it for something trivial and useless frivolity (get me using a 4 syllable word at this time in the morning! :D )

    As Lucifa said you're still on track, keep going!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    Drop a brand challenge
    on a £100 shop you might on average get 70 items save
    10p per product = £7 a week ~ £28 a month
    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    Oh Luc, I sure have! I refuse to iron Underwear, PJ's, Flat sheets, anything that I deem as a waste of time!

    And that determination means you are still on track. If you were thinking 'what's the point I'm not going to bother trying anymore' then you'd be in trouble x You are doing really well with meal planning

    need to do something today with the lamb bits i cooked up

    Morning.
    Driven to DD1's for 7.30 - yawn. Wardrobes arrived early and are being built as we speak. May day may just fall into place a little earlier than expected!

    My MIL used to iron DH boxers-I told him he could think on if he thought I was going to do the same!

    I know someone who ironed her BRAS!
