removing the temptation!

This morning I checked our bank account so I could see which DD had come out and which purchases other the weekend had cleared etc
I was going to withdraw £20 today so I could spend it willy nilly on magazines and sweets:o (which doesn't help my diet) Instead I did an online payment to the Credit Card for £20:T and I also gave OH my car keys last night so that I have to walk the 3.5 miles to work (and the 3.5 miles back:eek:)

It's got me off to a good start knowing that I have no money in my purse to spend and that I have 52 days till our holiday :T so need to keep focused on the diet!:T

Well done leni! You're a brave woman, I might have done the first one, but not the second!!! Even though I can't drive, I'm strictly a bus kind of girl!!!

Well done leni. It's so easy to think "it's only 20 quid...." and so hard to do what you've done. Way to go :j

hi Leni,

That is such a good idea, reducing your debt is a much greater reward than sweets and magazines! I am going to try it myself.

Well done on the weight loss too!

Very impressed Leni, not sure I would have done the car thing though. That is very DFW, go to the top of the class!!!!!

Thank you all!

I'm not looking forward to the walk to work! I have a work assignment to do first and I'll be heading off to work at about 11am!

Sometimes I do these little payments and forget about them and then when the new statement comes through it's great to see the balance lower than what I thought it was!

Well Done Leni! An excellent use of the £20! I might also have been good with not spending the £20, but I wouldn't have thought to put it on the card -VERY DFW of you!!
