welcome!

start writing down spending from the next thing you spend - that's all you have to do at the moment, write down what you spend. remember baby steps. we're forming habits that will last us a lifetime.

I was just going to ask the same thing - I love that film! It's a picture from the bit inside the glass bubble isn't it. We have a family tradition of watching it every Xmas.

Count me in too please, I need to keep myself on track as suffering from PRUSTS (pregnancy related unnecessary shopping trips syndrome)!

I Strated a spending diary a week ago and have twice been able to write no spend day. :j :j :j It's such a NICE feeling. I dont think this would have happened without the diary.:o

good stuff, but for those of us who don't have a dedicated book yet, don't worry, the back of an envelope or receipt will work as well, just start writing down what you spend :A

Great idea. I wrote everything while on hols in Aug and it worked really well. Not only did we stay within budget, had a great time but also brought some money back. Made me much more organised about taking picnics and drinks/snacks for days out leaving us with enough money to eat out a good few times in the evening.

Hi can I join in please?

Only trouble is I have to spend some money to get some pages for my personal organiser to start my diary!!!

What with writing this down and also trying to remember to keep a food journal for ww I just hope I remember!!!!

Cheers and what a cool idea! Just what we all need someone with a brainwave to keep us mere mortals on track!!
