Evening All,
Sorry I’m late posting….been really busy over the weekend!
Thanks for starting the thread Josiebabe
Romylou – I loved an idiot abroad, can’t wait for the next program
Picasso – well done on the lottery win
Fay – LOVE your multi-coloured list
So far this weekend I have
Saturday
• Breakfast and dinner from stores
• Checked bank – moved small change over to savings account
• Received my pay-slip in the post, worked out the budget for the month
• Mum paid for lunch out
• Bought a national rail card so saved money on mine and mums fares for our day in London (I save approx £9 each time I buy a ticket for mum and about £3 when I buy a ticket from Woking using my Network Rail card) – my train pass gets me as far as Woking (where I work)
• Resisted the urge to buy a top in the Next sale
• Didn’t buy a magazine or a coffee for the journey home – read free magazines from Wetherspoons
• Cashed in lottery ticket for a round of coffee and cakes from a bakery (I know, but it was a treat)
• Walked miles rather than getting the underground (not money saving as I had bought a Travelcard but it was nice to walk in the fresh air)
• Stuck to a list in Sainsburys (mum paid for the groceries)
Sunday
• Had a lie in
• Meals from stores
• Counted up change jar (£40 for an anniversary party in 2012)
• Spoke to friends on Facebook
• Checked bank – no change
• Worked out with mum how we can get the money for the roof (she is paying my bills and I am giving her cash)
• Checked CCCS website for balance info
• Had an afternoon nap
• NSD
• Made soup for work this week
• Need to make a sandwich for tomorrow and make sure I have everything I need so there is no mucking around in the morning
Think that is about it, take care everyone
Candy xxxDebts at the start of my journey - about £23,000 lightbulb moment 01.03.2007 (1st payment to CCCS)..Debt Free Date 25.06.2013 Deposit savings £17,000/£30,0000
