Well have decided I am going to post as often as I can here, also use it as my spending diary as well.

Today I am going to go through the food cupboard, freezer and fridge. Then do a meal plan and see how many meals I have in there.
Also went through all my toiletries yesterday, I am not going to buy anymore until they have all gone. With what I have bought and also received as birthday and xmas presents They should last me quite a few months So no more buying. Also found some wool while I was tidying up, so will knit some scarfs for winter.I need to keep busy as my OH is not well and sleeps alot.So I have alot of time on my hands.

I am selling what ever I can on ebay, have sold I few items all the money from that goes off the debt.Even though is small amounts it all adds up.
Have also decided to go through each room and get rid of items we dont need or use, to try and make the place look better.

Some day I feel positive about getting rid of this debt , then other days I feel so bad we owe this much.
Then I look through other diarys, and know some people are having it really hard.

Today I will be doing
Menu planning with what we have.
Tidying up the linen cupboard to clear one large shelf for all my toiletries to use.
Bathroom will be the first room to go through and get rid of clutter.
Also a NSD as I am not going out and dont need anything.
Will be back later.

Hiya - just popped over from Hovel Lady's diary.

You are doing the same as me, I am doing a freezer inventory tonight and menu planning from it - same for pantry.

A couple of nights ago I did an inventory for my wardrobe and am so happy I did.

I have ran out of moisturiser and perfume and can't afford any more so I am going the my drawers using up the many testers and such I have which will leave the drawers lovely and empty so decluttering at the same time.

Well done, keep going.

Just found your diary so thought I'd pop in and say hello.
You're doing really well with the things you are doing. Keep going - we'll all get there
So sorry your OH isn't well.
((hugs))

Right I am back, had a set back a few weeks ago with my health.
I am having problems breathing and its my lungs.
So having tests over the next 7 weeks to see what they are going to do.

Sold a few things on ebay, so that is going off Vanquis CC.
Still lots to get rid of.

I only spent £8.65 last week on food for the two of us.
I used as much as I could from the freezer and food cuboard.
Today I only bought Potatoes, Oranges, Cheese and Milk.
I have done my menu plan for the week and at the moment that is all I need.
Also got some plums given to me so made plum crumble.

Hope your better soon, not nice having tests

Well done on your food shopping, I really need to have a dig in my freezer and see what's in there. Maybe keep an inventory. Done my menu plan already for next week but will bear it in mind.

Hope you're feeling better soon and they find out what's wrong and sort it out.
That's impressive food shopping
Take care xx

I know what you mean about the freezer, I had things in there I had forgot I had. :mad: So I have made an inventory of freezer and foodcupboard and work off that. Then just buy what I need to make up the meals.:T

Thank you, they have an idea but want the tests done to be sure.
If it is what they think, I will be slowing down and resting more.:(

Its cloudly here this morning, but I hoping the sun comes out soon.
Sold two more things on ebay last night, so I few more pennies to go towards the debt.

Today I am going to go through all my toiletries and sort them out.

Along with some clothes.
