Today I have paid off my credit card and catalogue account. I had regular saver that paid out and some quidco cash back. Thank god for that! Anyway, instead of going on a shopping spree i've written my budget (whilst cursing because I need bog roll and washing powder!)
Today I will :
[STRIKE]do a mystery shop. [/STRIKE] and arranged 2 more.
Eat from store cupboard- update shopping list
Stick to my budget of £53 per week for everything.
[STRIKE]Check my bank[/STRIKE]
Finish going through the no spend offers on topcashback
Figure out the best way to pay off my debts and my debt free date.
Dig up some potatoes from the garden for my tea instead of buying any.
[STRIKE]
Use my healthy start vouchers for milk and veg for the week (hopefully!)
[/STRIKE]
Try and think of other ways to make some cash to pay off my debts.
Reduce my overdraft this week and NOT extend it again!
Good luck everyone! J

Hi all
Congrats to your DD, Milly :T
It’ll be over soon Rachel
, but I wouldn’t want to be you right now :eek:
Keeping to a short list today as I have to collect DS from a golf comp this evening, so there won’t be time for much else.
So today I will:
- Check bank & update spreadsheet
- HM lunch to work
- Dinner from stores
- HC & line dry
- Kids have sports day tomorrow, so been to Mr T to stock up on packed lunch bits, managed to get BOGOF crisps and biscuits, the rest will be from home.
- Also got some yellow sticker pancakes to go with my lunch

- Contact BT to reclaim credit on our account (£23) – I’m about £75 over on my budget for July, so need to make extra money to make sure we break even

That’s about it. Soon be time to get back to the grind…

3) Worked a half day.
4) Lots of hokey cokey outside.
5) Took T to the park with friends and a football for free entertainment.
6) Did SC, checked banking and quidco and did piggy clicks.
7) Sent a message to someone advertising second hand Beaver uniform.
ETA 8) Did an online survey and will receive a product to test.
Have a happy Monday, L x0 -
Today I took my dinner to work, frozen soup from the freezer and I've got homemade pizza cooking as I type. Paid a talk talk cheque into the bank £13.21 and I've tried not to spend very much money groceries £1.75, mug & glasses from charity shop £2.48 and 41p for 1st class stamp (it needs to get there tomorrow!).
Off to eat my tea and sort out the mess that has become my bank account and hopefully get on top of it by bedtime.
