    Hi Candy,

    I'm new to the forum, but I just couldn't help respond to your optimism and great advice! I saw a great post today that talked about small steps to take to stay warm for cheap, but since I'm new, I can't post it here. Still, if you Google Billy's Blog, you'll find it. Definitely worth a check.

    I hope it helps you and others!

    All the best,
    s

    Can you please pm me the URL as I can't find it...

    Evening all

    - Started organising my finances for 2011
    - Had Christmas lunch with work, already paid £10 deposit so had £5 left to pay, although we were all hoping the team director would pay as they do earn so much! But hey ho!
    - Eeek spent £21.16 in Asda on shampoo, conditioner, face wash etc. why are these things so pricey, I got the ones on offer though, but all adds up
    - Made yummy cheesy pasta bake and got left overs for my o/h's dinner at work tomorrow

    I plan to be better tomorrow x
    Became debt free in 2007 after having £15k of debt. Have been a stranger to MSE and now want to get back into my old MSE habits and save, save, save
