Hi There,
Ive had a terrible few weeks for debt freeness however tomorrow is a new day so i'm going to start fresh and plan for it tonight.
Since Jan 1st I worked really hard at getting debt free. I cleared a 9k loan by june / july and then since then have not been very focussed.
So 3 months til Jan 1st again and am going to make them count!!

I have bought enough dishwasher tablets ( on half price sainsburys offer plus coupons) to last all of 2012! Also enough washing liquid - for clothes. Before the vat increase goes up i need to stock up on dog food and cat food as I have plenty of storage space - so any ideas for cheap cans ( currently try not to pay more than £5 per 12 cans - but if you notice any offers please let me know!)

I also have struggled with my weight for the last two years so really want to address this also between now and christmas and at least lose half a stone to a stone.

list to follow

nomorespending

Tomorrow I will...

Photocopy my passport at my parents and send off ( have stamp already)
Do very small shop at sainsburys and meal plan for the week without spending a fortune - fruit I need - and milk not much else. I have a coupon for tesco for £5 off a £50 shop but dont need £50 of shopping so will not be tempted by the coupon... although i keep thinking i should do a massive big dog food shop £50 worth and then i'm sorted.....the tempation... its too much!!

Get my clothes ready for work... I'm going to do a 4 day wek as am owed toil and I really cant wait til thursday night!!
ring and get someone to come and look at the boiler which is curently not working!!
Ring and see if the sky package we have can be reduced.
paint nails
plan diet
do some washing
check online banking
plot and plan some money making/ saving schemes

Morning All,

Sent in receipt for chiropody to Simply Health - so will get £10 back.
Checked on line banking
Spending diary - of course
Metting friend for coffee at 11 - I owe her one so will be expensive:(
DD going to party so present to buy. - More expense

This is not a money saving day at all!

Lesson planning to do - Yuk!

Got a cold so feeling under the weather.
Baking some bread.
Doing some washing.

Thats about all folks. Take Care

Morning all - its so dark and wet here that it feels like the middle of the night! Just walked a very grumpy dog in pouring rain - both like drown rats now - boo!

Hope your dinner went well redsam?

Nomorespending - register with Pets at Home for the email letter - they often send offers for dog food that are quite shortlived but worth having - I often get bargains that way - doggies are sooooo expensive sometimes but I wouldn't be without him (even on a Sunday morning in pouring rain!

Today's list...

• Walk dog again - hopefully drier next time
• Do loads of school work - lessons to write (about 7 today if I can) and a load of marking
• Load of washing - dried inside!
• Make OH a beef stew and dumplings for tea (veggie one for me) - a proper winter day deserves proper winter food!
• Do my nails later
• Stay in tonight
• Checked banks
• Look at budget for the rest of the month - 2 weeks to payday
• Go and collect car - left at restaurant last night so only 1 taxi fare - was going to walk there with the dog this morning but it takes an hour and we'd have dissolved in the rain:rotfl:
• Catch up on surveys

That's it for now - have a good day!
