Hi La Es

I fell off the wagon a bit at the weekend too. Going through such a painful break up. I had a meltdown at work and decided to take two days off and go and stay with my Mum, but it's a £60 train fare so I haven't done very well at all!

Life's a bit bleak at the moment.

Hi Ashamed of Bristol, sorry to hear about your break up

I get annoyed when I need to spend so much on travel going up and down the country to visit family and friends but sometimes I find I spend more if I stay at home! Maybe your £60 train fare could be 'damage limitation'; no saying what you could've done or spent had you spent the weekend at home/shopping/out boozing etc! That's what I'm like anyway!

If you're not doing much DFW stuff at the mo you could come and join us on the small things thread https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/2535497 Everyone on there keeps everyone else on track and even when you don't feel as though you're doing anything positive you always find something you can do.

Thanks La Es

I do pop in to the small things thread from timie to time. You are right. It's about time I popped back!

The damage limitation part is true too. By spending £60 on train fare I got to spend a whole weekend being fed free beans on toast from my Mum, and she even bought me a pair of shoes which should curb my urges for a few weeks!
