Debt free the Fly lady way - anyone?

in_over_my_head_2

Hi,
well so far I'm doing fab - but saying that, since I had my LBM last week I've barely spent anything that wasn't a necessity (except 2 chocolate bars on their sell-by date for 50p!), and have only £22 in the bank to last another week so I'll not likely be buying anything frivolous!! Maybe treat myself to a £2.50 bottle of wine from Aldi at the weekend when my daughter stays at her nans... :j

Oooh, I've just realised that I'm now a "NotSoNewbie", wooohooo!!

Please can you add me onto your list Tondella.

I've already got writing everything down sorted as have been doing that for a while (makes me sound really sad and anal!!) But to help others, I would say that once you're into this habit, it really helps and gets a bit addictive.

It really is worth doing as its a good habit to get into.

Looking forward to the next flylady tip!

I think this is a good idea, something like it was done before i think if i remember correctly.

I may have to join in even tho im debt free at the moment ..

Chris!

Well done for being debt free.

Surely it's just as much a good idea to join the DFW boards to remain debt free??

:money:

Hi

Since I joined dfw I've been writing down every penny I spend - been a real eye opener:eek: . I have a spreadsheet and list individual items in one column with total value in another. tbh after 3 months, I've decided my spreadsheet isn't upto the job so am in process of re-designing. Anyone with any good (easy to use) spreadsheets they want to share?

Brilliant idea!

i will def start the writing things down part as I have been realy lazy as far as that goes. My excuse was "well I am busy", but no more!

A very long, uncomfortable film that I seem to be stuck in the middle of with no escape lol......cant wait for the happy ending!! :rotfl:

I'm loving the fly-lady stuff, it's fantastic having someone organising my life for me hee hee!

Hi Tondella - been away for a few days and just noticed your thread, what a great idea. I need to actually start writing my spends down in the little notebook that I have been carrying around with me for the last few months and I definately need to start some good habits

I have found a good spreadsheet on microsoft works, made a few adjustments. If anyone wants a copy, please pm me your email address and I'll happily forward on if required.

(Hope I'm not breaking the rules Tondella, just know that some people struggle with spreadsheets)
