- took lunch to work and didn't even buy a can of pop

Proud to have dealt with my debts:

Evening all :j
Today I have:
Seen to animals and plants
Been to work
LSD, just £5 for carpark :mad::eek: and £1 for a leaving present (not too stingy, as not a close colleague, and a large organisation; if everyone gives that amount, there will be enough for a good pressie
, and close team members tend to give rather more
). Car park is unfortunately essential as I live several miles out of town and am too old/ unfit/ knackered to cycle and can't in any case arrive in work looking like a windblown fright :eek: (yes, like that). I have been getting a season ticket, but that is not cost effective unless I use it for at least 21 days in a given month, and I have some leave coming up in a couple of weeks :j:j:T:T Scary thing is, I have to buy a rail season ticket as well :eek: If I didn't have a reasonably well paid job, it would never be worth it!
HM meals - used up elderly wraps from bottom of fridge for work lunch, with just cheese, lettuce and cucumber in them, but it was nicer than it sounds
, and no waste :A:D
Well, I ought to do some ironing :eek::eek: (I have heard it is illegal - and if not, it certainly should be :rotfl:) but I am running out of work tops and have meetings on Thurs and Fri.
So, on we go - have a nice evening everyone :wave:0 -

I hope you're all good - we had snow - yes SNOW yesterday - only for a bit but OMG - there are still daffodils out here and snow showers - pah!
Done some on my list but not all of it!
DD packed up her room
DS and I sorted the most of the garage and looked in the attic :eek:
Emailed love film to ask them to please stop taking money from me as I've cancelled my subscription and sent them all the details - they've taken extra money two months now - thank goodness for this thread and the checkign accounts bit!
I also wanted to say I've stopped listing so many things we do as they are now 'second nature' today without thinking
HC on line air/snow dried :rotfl:
Turned potatoes off 5 mins before cooked to save leccy
Froze spare bread to make breadcrumbs
Make 1kg rice to freeze some - and make best use of power
I'm tired today - Dawn :eek: to parking charges - we still dont pay at the air port here and in town its 30p an hour to park
ironing is indeed illegal - but for emergenies I guess its OK.
Sophiesmum's birthday yesterday
still miss her not being about...................:) Total debt 26/4/18 <£1925 we were getting there. :beer:
Total debt as of 28/4/19 £7867.38:eek:

:money:Sleeves up folks.:money:0 -
Just been through the finances for May and adjusted things accordingly after the extra expenses of vet bill, kennels and a few other unexpected bits.
Its still doable but I'm going to have to be far stricter with myself with little spends - £5 here and there makes a big difference over a month doesn't it?
I'm going to stop thinking about it and actually ebay a few unwanted bits to go towards next month's CC bill.
Sometime this week.........0
