    PPI Party Pooper Debt-free and Proud!
    Morning, You are all so inspirational - I am so glad I found these forums. Can I join in.

    - as I am new today I am redoing my budget
    - going to try fill my water bottle from water dispenser downstairs in stead of buying cold drink at lunch time.
    - going to find a jar for the odd pennies.
    - going to sift through my debt and re-organise / prioritise.
    - read lots of the debt diaries for hints and tips
    :D:D:D

    Hope you all have a good day.
  • Morning Peeps

    Well after an upside down day yesterday, I am hoping to get back on track today and get as much work as I can done. When I return back from doing my 2nd job today after lunch I plan to stay in my office till my to do list is finished.

    Today I will:

    • Complete my to do list
    • Work for at least 6 hours on my business
    • Visit the Gparents for tea and cake at lunch time.
    • Work out what has to be transferred to which account on payday
    • work out how much extra I will earn with Jobs 2, 3 and 4 and what account they need to go to pay off things.
    • Chicken and mushroom with the jar of sauce that has been in the cupboard for the last 6 months.
    • Do any surveys
    • Resist that bottle of barcardi in the cupboard again tonight :eek:
    • Check the free minutes on my mobi
    • think of some more money making ideas
    Hope everyone has a lovely day.
    MAY NSD's

  • Morning all.

    Today I will:
    - have homemade soup for lunch. Work is getting rid of staff room, so might need to invest in a flask bowl to take my soup to work. Will be losing microwave within weeks :mad: Management solution is to eat @ staff bar or restaurant which don't allow you to bring your own food. Not very helpful! (Rant over, sorry!)
    -check bank balances
    -check surveys
    -Start the process for putting unwanted books onto Amazon.
    -continue the declutter process in the flat and hopefully find somethings to sell on ebay/amazon in the process

    Story of my life!! We have lots of bakers in my office and there is constant temptation.



    Today:
    • Walked to the office (40 min) for free exercise and no bus fare
    • Free coffee at work rather than at home
    • brought in lunch (small jacket potato and leftover veggie chili, super frugal as jacket was baked while something else was in the oven!)
    • Maybe gym at lunch hour, we'll see how busy the day gets
    • Will join a friend for a drink after work.
    • Dinner from leftovers - either soup or pasta bake re-heated.
    • Keep on crocheting baby blanket in the evening
    Yesterday was an unexpected NSD, which was nice. I needed to go to a meeting for one of my vollunteer things after work, and knew I would need to get some food on the way. But the friend I was going with kindly shared some EAT vouchers (which she had gotten after complaining, having found a live spider in her salad! :eek:), so free dinner for me, even if it was just a sandwich!
