Morning! Just! I am shattered, we had a power cut at about 2.30 this morning and the alarms in the whole street were going off! Argh! You could just hear people shutting them off and the power came back and then went again grrrr!

Can I share my weekend bargain?!?!? I am so happy! I needed a dress for my brothers wedding in august so nipped into Debenhams sale....and found the dress of my dreams in a size 10 :j and reduced from £140 to £42 :eek::beer: and it looks divine on! I never ever think I look nice in clothes!!! And and and a size 10!!! Size 12 fell down :cool: I AM SO HAPPY! Did I mention I am happy?

Anyway! Today:

• Checked banking
• Taken £30 worth of sale stuff back to Sains for refund
• Taken Sale stuff back to Next that didnt fit, swapped out for jeans that do kinda fit and a pair of kitten heels to go with bargain dress - £6 left to pay
• Meals from stores
• Kids took packed lunches
• OH to work 4 hrs O/T
• Bought bargain bridesmaids tights in Monsoon sale - will get money from SIL2b later
• Swish n swipe about
• Washed 2 loads, on line but horrid and grey out (please dont rain!)

Be back with anything else laters :money:

Hi all, I really need to start posting on here to show myself that I am doing little things every day that will help me be debt free!

Ok, today I will:

Check internet banking
Pay £5.50 from piggybank into current account
Put the £5.50 off Barclaycard
Update spreadsheet with £5.50
Get my first Graze box (sounds like it's not DFW but it will keep me out the chocolate box - a far more expensive and unhealthy habit!! )
Charge my phone at work
Get OH to phone student loans and kick their !!! for assessing us wrongly AGAIN
Carry on switching off the shower and extractor fan when not showering!
Take lunch from home with lovely homeade bread
Start a new batch of homebrew

Think that's all today. I am still getting VERY excited about payday a week today. Will take me out of the red for the first time since I had my student loan! (for all of 5 mins. lol). Pluss will be able to pay our friend what we owe him, AND close another £200 off overdraft. Meep!! Is it wrong to be so excited?:o

Hi everyone- these lists are great? Definitely given me some ideas.

One question what does dinner from stores mean?

Pernicious

Hello everyone,

So I'm trying to get back on track whilst not posting so much that I feel like I have no time for myself, so apologies if I start becoming a bit brief but I think the week or so off actually did me some good in some ways!

DNMS - Enjoy your trip to Holland, where abouts are you staying?
Stitchy - Sorry the home/work situations still aren't brill, on the bright side you have done some amazing debtbusting there!!! If you keep that up, it won't be long until you can get your own place at least.
NTBY - Ooh when did this happen?! Really happy you're happy though
Cleosmum - Congrats on the bargain & the weight loss, what's your secret?

Hugs to those that need them, esp you Ziggy, chin up my dear!

So today I have/will:-

• [STRIKE]Made use of free water at work[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Food from stores[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Dinner from meal plan[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Check ebay[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Reply to florist to see if quote is inclusive of VAT or not [/STRIKE](Fingers crossed it is as I'm only £73 over budget then!)
• [STRIKE]Stay in at lunchtime to avoid spending[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Check for surveys[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Enter comps[/STRIKE]
• [STRIKE]Take refillable water bottle to polenastics tonight & get a lift with friends[/STRIKE] - our 4 week course ended last week but we were offered another discount so took them up on it, I'm having too much fun to quit now!
• Catch up on flylady activities & thread, must eat a couple of frogs tonight & sort that kitchen!

That'll do for today I think!

Have a great, MSE day everyone x

Simply that you won't be buying anything specifically for that day's meals. For example today's dinner will be chilli and rice and all the ingredients are in the fridge/larder already.

Someone else could probably explain it better than I can!

Ah i see thanks!!!
