Dinner was £42.10 and I have paid my niece £25. With a bit of effort today should be a NO SPENDING DAY.

oh dear it wasn't: Lunch £12.84 and new clothes, £101

And in week 2 I have spent £370.23. SO now I do have to have a very quiet two weeks or I will be over drawn which I do not want to be. I'm in London for the next two week-ends for work so that will be good as no train fares. I have £120 in pound coins and £12 in my purse on current showing that will last about four days, I need it to last 16 days .............

Milk and bread £1,62

Coffee £2. I've been thinking. I have £7200ish on my b'card on 0% which runs out in March. My original plan was to pay the minimum to March and then find another 0% deal. But even though financially this is the right thing to do I am considering paying it off by December so that next year I just have the mortgage and no other debt. I pay £220 as my minimum payment and it would be good just to have the mortgage. I will mull this one over...........................

Right I've mulled and decided to get rid of my debts and pay off what I can on the mortgage between now and December. I will stay here for mortgage news but I might transfer my diary in in July to dfw which is where I should be probably.

My aim is £500 per month off the mortgage and £1000 per month off the debts. And my debt total to be less than £150k by Christmas.

Good luck with those plans, it is interesting to see your daily spending and I'm looking forward to seeing how you interpret it at the end of the month.
