smilermonkeys debt diary

Options
Am going to start one of these diaries as have decided it will be good for me. l I am going to sort out my money, sort out my social life and find the old me that has got swamped a bit. Have decided that everyday I shall do something positive about money and me, starting today!

today's challenges:-
money=a weeks shop for 2 (me and DD) for £20
me=join a free dating site! Not sure about this one, but will be a laugh and will keep this diary posted of all events, however disasterous!
"grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can and the wisdom to know it's me"

    You go for it, I feel the same about finding the old me, stressing about money and life sure gets you down! Finally feel I'm on track and you can do the same!!

    Good luck!!

    Big lesson learned today...do not take people shopping with you. Had bit of a falling out with DD over pre packed lunch salad. £1.50 for bit of lettuce, couple of cherry toms, an egg, a few sliced potatoes and a sachet of mayo! To make it even worse she says she chucks out the mayo and tomatoes when her dad buys her these!!!
    On the plus side have had rather a good response from dating site. Registered with Midsummers eve and one guy wants to take me to dinner! In good DFW style I just thought 'ooh! free dinner'
    Tomorrow have decided to be really honest about where debts are and why they are, but have to go to a meeting now so am off...
