    You are doing well Jellybean.:T
    I start with good intentions, but once I've paid something off, I start spending again and then get into more of a mess than the first place.

    What I really need to do is just take sandwiches and crisps to work and a drink. Leave my purse and cards at home and only take my bus pass, then I can't spend.
    I work within two supermarkets and the temptations are always there, I'm surrounded by bargains, it's so not fair. :rotfl:
    Oh well, we will be mortgage free in just over 3 years thank goodness, then we will be comfortable.:T

    thankyou gem hope you doing ok to x Im very fortunate to have a good income but have wasted so much money over the years.
    I have stopped spending completely out of the bank account and i was spending 700 a month of absoloutley nothing hence the fact the od has come down loads.
    I get good tips but this usually goes in purse so i have put that against my 1 debts vs 100 days and determined to pay off the egg card. might have a hitch as holiday that was booked last year we moved it to this year but tried to move it and 500 on moving it the first time and they wanted the same again so will be going on it. :T

  • Bit of nightmare day. Lots of birthdays this week at work and as usual ended up buying cake and cards and pressies!!! One day gonna put me foot down and tell someone else to buy it or at least contribute. Do feel like i get taken advantage of sometimes.
    Anyway did eat two slices of cake!! i really have to lose weight by october but somehow dont think it gonna happen. Does anyone know if you can get one of those prepaid cards to take to egypt as i dont want to take my bank card? Want to put what i can on it and then when its gone its gone. Have some money in paypal account and trying to decide if to keep it for christmas or holiday......... think i might start xmas shopping next month have a tenner voucher for body shop to use then and the offers normally start then to. hate doing that early but money will be tighter this year so need to start early. christmas omg.....................................
