Hi all!
I've never posted on these threads before so i hope you don't mind me joining in?
I've just got back from Tesco's and used my clubcard vouchers to double up for Back to School Clothing vouchers and got £30. Managed to get all my two sons's uniforms (that don't need to be ordered direct through the school due to embroidered logo!) for exactly £30 so no spend there! Left the purse at home so no temptation to buy anything else whilst there.
Had a personal loan finish this week (after 7 years!) so am determind that money will go towards the next debt each month now.
Have chased up 2 outstanding invoices this morning (i am self-employed) and one has now paid.
Have got dinner organised and don't need to go out and get any extra bits.
This afternoon-
will be working out our NEW budget! I am about to go on maternity leave/pay so things will change.
Think thats all for now- just doing little and often as i'm 36 weeks pregnant and don't want to set things off just yet!
