Thanks! Dad is great, he often helps me out. I'm a lucky girl. Just reading though diaries (including yours!) and finding myself some inspriation as intend to really knuckle down and sort my life out after this weekend :eek:0 -

No lottery wins for me this weekend so back to debt busting it is for me
Transferred another 23p to my debt repayment fund today, little by little eh! Also another £2 coin today, that's £8 in total so far :j - i've asked OH if he'd kindly keep any that come his way so hopefully the fund will continue to increase. Still not decided what the £2 saving will go on but it's there.
So, now the hols are over (although I have tom off) it's time to get serious and really make things count. I'm fed up with this debt forever hanging over me and if I can reduce it asap then i'll be a very happy girl!
I get paid on 15th (next thurs) and am withdrawing £60 to last me until then this is to cover all spends, petrol, groceries etc - hoping I don't use it all to be honest. Aiming for those no spend days
Tommorrow brings a day of sorting and clearning, filing etc - last day off and have spent the last 4 days relaxing and being lazy so think it's time I got off my backside and did something constructive
No doubt i'll be posting again tomorrow now I officially am on the DFW wagon - was leaving it until after the bank hols....naughty I know!

Morning! Back to work and it's miserable outside. Mind you had a beautiful day off yesterday and managed a lovely walk on the South Downs in a t-shirt....can you believe it....yes a t-shirt!!! Was lovely
Anyway back to debt work and normality, no more days off. Another £2 coin given in change yesterday so balance now up to £10 - what a great way of saving money :T Also transferred another 45p to debt repayment fund this morning, will update signature in a mo.
Out of £60 budget I have £34.50 left as £2 coin in change yesterday, petrol and a meal out with OH last night as our last day of freedom before going back to work today. That said I have nothing planned and am working overtime both Sat and Sun. I will make it last until next Thurs which is payday :eek:
Have kinda got OH on board a little now, he's thinking more about what he spends and is thinking ahead a little in what we have coming up......finallyHe's great in supporting me in clearning my debts - he won't pay them off for me (and I wouldn't let him!) but he's more than happy to pay more towards household bills, holidays and so on and often treats me to new clothes and so on so saves me many £££'s and leaves me to concentrate on paying off the my debts. I prefer it this way as the debts were with me way before I met him and through my own stupidity and he feels happier knowing he can treat me and support me in other ways....bless him :A
Anyhow, must get back to that thing called work....after i've updated my totals
Have a good day all x0 -
