abba1772

So much for keeping spends under £10 :rotfl:

Nipped into town are the nursery run and got nasal spray for baby k for his half ever but it was £8.99 :eek: then nipped into m&s for some food spent £10 in there, then it was into homebargains for toilet roll £2 then farmfoods for 2 bottles of juice £2 a ww meal £1 fish fingers £2.50 and milk £1

Popped into subway and spent £3.69 on a salad so a bit of a spendy day but not too bad xx

Managed to get another £55.70 in avon orders before the schoo, run :T still got a box full to get rid of tho tonight :rotfl: hoping they all pay :beer:

Got a sore head think it's down to all this water I'm drinking but it's healthier I guess xx

Hope everyone is well xx

Boo to not keeping spends under £10 - it is so easy to spend so much more than planned.

Great to see your Avon orders are doing well.

I will be drinking my 2 litres of water a day again when I am back from my hols. If I have it on my desk at work I drink it in no time at all.

Afternoon :hello:

Been an eventful weekend was admitted to hospital with chest pains on Friday night first they thought it was my heart then they thought it was a blood clot on my lung which thankfully it wasn't then i was told I had an infection called Devils grasp which affects the cartlidge of the chest wall and it's very very painful but pain subsided and was released Saturday night so it was a nsd on Saturday for me :j every cloud eh lol :rotfl:

Yesterday however was a major spend day spent £88 in farmfoods but freezer is jam packed then went to B&m for tins and packets etc and spent £155 :eek: in there but £80 was on two suitcases which come with a 10 years guarantee so that's us sorted for holiday and £10 was on pyjamas in the next size up for baby k and the rest was on food but cupboards are groaning xx

Also bought a massive notice board on eBay as I need one for my childminding so that was £16.99 today and I've spent £3 on bread as I'm working 9.30am til 3.30pm but I've told my parent I'm not a mobile so it's a movie / console day but she's happy with that :T got a avon order of £8 to deliver today so that's a little walk for me to ease my leg off

Transfered £30 into the mortgage account that's half my commission from avon so only £370 to go til I hit target should do that next month and we also have £500 now in the holiday account :T so it's getting there slowly but surely still need to book my parking space in the airport but got a groupon code for 20% off :cool: so will do that in the next couple of days. Xx

Right off to catch up on some of my childminding paperwork whilst kids are playing nicely xx

So sorry to hear you were in hospital Abba. Hope you are feeling better now. That must have been very scary when they thought it was your heart/clot

Am very impressed with the way you save. You seem to have bits and pieces to put towards your savings/debts each week and it really does add up!

Thanks clearmydebts it was very scary indeed and very painful

I have a standing order every Friday for £25 that goes into the normal savings account ........this is used for anything we may need but means we don't have to get into debt for it if you know what I mean, anything I sell on eBay / facebook gets halved and put into the savings as well as my avon commission so it all adds up and I look after two students children so all my childminding wages that comes from the college gets put straight into the mortgage deposit account so it's money I've not actually had if that makes sense xx like you say it all adds up xx

I'm no where near where you are tho the amount you have saved is phenomenal xx

Ah well, a lot of mine came from selling our flat so can't claim too much credit I'm afraid. I have gotten used to saving though and will continue to do it even when we get the house!
