never_again_2

I had my first visit to a dentist today after over two years. No NHS dentists taking people on so had to spend £65 on assessment then agreed to £15.14 per month DENplan starting next month. Went to Boots and spent £7.71 on hair products - not good as I now have approximatly £10 left until the 25th August and any money earned from P/T job will have to be used for food, not extra C/C payments as planned. VV BAD!!

Well a no spend day for me today! I was expecting to buy quite a few birthday cards, buying ahead in bulk so I don't forget anyone's birthdays this year! But couldn't find any I like so might wait until I next go shopping and go to tesco and buy some value cards. So that's 50% towards one of my goals for the week as I wanted 2 no-spend days this week!!

I spent £7.62 in Sainsburys on juice for the kids for the park as I forgot to make them some at home, and baby food tins and jars. I am going to start making my own eventually, honest!!!! Other than that, £113.54 catalogue repayment (nearly clear now, yippee). Had a good weekend though and managed not to spend anything.

Well done:beer: Its an amazing feeling. I wasn't spending any money today but I negotiated a debt outstanding at £626 and they accepted a final settlement of £436. Nearly £200 savings, never mind all the interest over yrs. :T :T Am so pleased with myself.

hi MJBP,

Are you claiming benefits? I am sure a friend of mine could claim back interview travelling expenses whilst on JSA. Also, how much is a weekly ticket, it might be worth it if you're travelling more than 2 days per week? Thirdly, do you need a travel card? Would a return train fare be adequate? Tube and bus fares are cheaper in London if you use an oyster card (I think you have to pay a £10 deposit but will be useful if you are going to be working in London and you can claim the deposit back if you don't). Have a look on https://www.tfl.gov.uk. Oh, and lastly, good luck with the interviews, what kind of job are they for?
