    Hello All before and after me :D

    Today i will

    Get back on the bandwagon
    Excel Spreadsheet incomings/outgoings
    Tea from stores
    Sandwiches for lunch tommorow
    Write my meal plan
    Come up with a super duper master plan for Saturday night which i need silver shoes & bag and a haircut for a ball! Already have dress!


    I have fallen off the bandwagon recently and all our hard efforts before are back to normal so we are itemising every single last penny. And we will be debt free in 14 months without too many sacrifices! I love chocolate!!

    Hope everybody has had a good day :D
