Polesalot's Climb to Debt Freedom

vasseur

Yes I am subscribed to Memorygirl's thread, thing is I find it hard to keep up with all the busy diaries. If I don't log on for a couple of days I find it really hard to find the time to catch up.

I think the reason I am spending so much is because I am off. As it was the first month for the envelope system I didn't really have much put by for days out. It's not like I haven't got the money it is just I have had to shuffle loads around from other areas. Back to work tomorrow, there is £5 in my purse and I doubt i will spend much.

I have just popped up to Sainsbury's because I needed washing liquid and softener. I know I have used Aldi before and although there is nothing wrong with their stuff it just doesn't leave the clothes as sweet smelling as when I use Comfort. I know lots of people don't like their clothes smelling of fc but I like the way the house smells when I have the washing drying in the kitchen!

Anyway, it probably wasn't a very good idea because I bought:-

T-shirt - £10 but it is blue, long line with stud detail round the neckline. It looks great on and let's face it I did need another weekend top. I can wear this on Friday to Muse.

Razors - £2.49 I have been using the same razor for about 6 months :eek: Thing is those Venus replacement blades are so expensive it's cheaper to buy a new razor. I bought disposable Venus razors (3) and they will last me ages because the only thing I shave is my armpits.

Hair remover - £2.82 for bikini line

Body Scrub - £1.99 essential if you use an epilator on your legs like me. This was half price too.

Non bio washing gel - £2.99 thought I would give their own brand a try. My friend thinks it's good.

Soda crystals laundry boost - £2.03 this is supposed to soften the water as well as shift satubborn stains. Cheaper than buying Vanish and Calgon.

Comfort - £1.79 - I love the smell of this.

Natural yogurt - 39p to go in my chicken biryani that i will have for my dinner tomorrow night.

So £24.50 spent, not good but my wardrobe is complete now and all the other stuff I had run out of so would have to have bought at some point.

Just gone through DD's wardrobe and found all the clothes that i couldn't get stains out when I used the other washing liquid. Just need to train her not to eat like a 2 year old

Might pop on to iTunes in a bit and sort out some new music and put together loads of great songs for when I start running again later this week.

Time for coffe and a brioche and a listen to Popmaster!

Have a nice day everyone

Enjoy your last day off:D

I've just nipped home for some peace and my lunch...back in half an hour.

I agree with you on the fabric conditioner - Lenor is my favourite, or Comfort if not...I love the smell of washing with fab con in...mmmm:rotfl:Ok, starting to sound old or mad now;)

Thanks. I love just sniffing all the fabric conditioners in the supermarket. It can take me ages to decide on which one. Sad....

Just listed 8 items of clothing on eBay and 9 books on Amazon. Wish me luck!

Oh how glad am I that the sniffing of FC is not just my secret shopping habit !
Am loving the the new comfort Strawberry and lilly concoction !

Hi Mags
Thanks I am fine just been really busy or really tired! Also fallen off the wagon a bit spends wise, nothing too bad, just waiting for other monies to go into my account and then I will be solvent again!

Went to Muse on Friday, the whole day was fantastic. Spent whole day with washinglineman (really must give him a better name lol) and we got on fab, talked and laughed the whole time. Very tired this weekend.

Went to use a hotel's spa yesterday with my dd, my friend and her dd - we had a voucher so no spends involved. It really did make a difference to using the local pool. The facilities were excellent, lovely changing rooms, uncrowded and spent 2 hours there. I need to look out some more vouchers because I really enjoyed it.

Just realised the child benefit goes in tomorrow, I thought it was next week so I will be back in the black again (in my little book as well as my bank account) so all is good on Planet Pole again

Sounds like the best weekend:)

You need to join the rest of us in Memorygirl/MrBig challenges!

Nice to 'see' you back in your diary;) Hope you enjoyed your time off work:p
The spa day sounds lovely - I'd love to do that with my 2, it'd be a lovely treat!
I spent a bit at the weekend too (in Next) but luckily I only like one top so the rest is going bag, along with a bag from Accessorize I couldn't resist a couple of weeks ago:o I just fancied buying something...but now looking forward to the money back in the bank...I am daft.
WLM sounds lovely....lucky you! (Washinglineman has now been abbreviated:T)
