    • [STRIKE]try and not spend too much money!![/STRIKE] hmmm - pos and neg here, was really fancying a bar lunch but we ended up have lunch at mum in laws so no £ ! BUT then went to pub in the afternoon and OH had 2 pints (I had water tho) :beer:
    • [STRIKE]check e-mails for surveys[/STRIKE] yep, and got 35 market points :)

    Evening all & welcome to Unsavy :)

    I'm sooooo tired, it's been another very busy day at the funny farm today and I had to bring work home too :( , which I've just finished...and it's only Tuesday :o , roll on Friday!

    Didn't get to leave the office at lunchtime today, so that saved a few pennies, although I had brought my HM lunch in ;). If I'd gone out though I would've bought a few extras!

    So today I have:
    • Checked bank (not updated spreadsheet as there's been hardly any change)
    • HM lunch to work and dinner from stores
    • HC & airer dry - been raining here most of the day...boo!
    • Paid CC, minimum plus an extra £2, it all helps :)
    Not much, but all important stuff, especially checking the bank daily as this really helps to keep me on track.

  • Thank you for your welcomes, please be honest with me if you feel I am moaning, my hormones are all over the place.

    So does everyone post on here daily?

    Hi savy! Hop on the bus and get involved! Definately do not think ur moaning and when/if you do that's ok - a good few of us have shared our difficulties on this thread and you get nothing but support back - its fabulous and the more the merrier, great to have a load of cyber friend :A!

    Erm most of us post daily or almost daily depending on motivation/life getting in the way. I'd say on average I get about 60% of my wish list done, but each thing is a little saving which goes towards debt. Feels so rewarding when I get it all done :j, but its pretty few and fair between :o

    surely it would be more MSE (and not to mention fun) to have the bath while he's in it? less time the lights need to be on ;)
