Hi all,

Long term reader but first time poster - just a tad nervous! I managed to pay off my credit card debt a few months ago, but seem to not be able to get through the month without putting a little more back on it, so want to try and cut back to the bare essentials to try and build up some savings and live within my means!

Today I have...

• Driven my boyfriend's car to work as mine is broken - using his fuel!
• Been to collect parts for my car so boyfriend can fix mine, saving garage costs - and saved a whole penny as the shop didn't take cards for less than £10 and I only had £9.18 rather than £9.19 - love little shops like that!
• Posted Ebay parcel and checked Paypal money
• Posted old mobile phone and checked that cashback has tracked
• Checked bank balance
• Ate lunch from stores
• Read the weekly email:money:

I will...

• Return stuff to Next on my way home from work - and not look at the shelves!
• Work out what bills are coming out of the bank account and transfer the rest into ISA
• Not spend any more money!

Hopefully everyone's had a good day!

xx

Thanks for starting us off, Candy. Sounds like every day you are posting something about caring for your health, i hope you're ok?

Hi NTBY

I'm fine thanks - apart from the PCOS (ongoing), last week I got over tired and ended up with a wheezy chest and bunged up nose.....I am feeling so much better, but having to use my inhalor as after walking up the stairs I sound like darth vader (sp)

Never mind eh - on the up!

Thanks for asking.

Evening all,

Well today is the last day before payday which is tomorrow.

Not quite enough funds left to get the train so drove as fuel left in the car from July's budget and parked for free as then walked a 20 mins walk to the office.

So I then used the money I did have left to pop to Mr M on my way home spent £3.31 but managed to get cereals, milk, choccie bars, coleslaw, 2 * kievs - was quite impressed with that have moved down to try Morrisons value cornflakes and coleslaw ( the second which was lush I had it for tea ) so hope the cornflakes are ok too.

Was very impressed with that shopping trip.

Did library trip at lunch and other than Mr M did not spend anything else today well couldnt as nothing else left to be honest

Thanks again for you all being so welcoming, K x

Good afternoon. Hope everyone is having a good Wednesday. It’s another lovely day here today.
Candy – Thanks for starting us off today.


My list for today:

• Catch up with emails DONE
• Do some work towards work targets for this week DONE
• Daily clicks DONE
• Complete available surveys DONE
• One poll DONE Earned 15p
• Pure profile DONE
• Catch up with mates online DONE I sent some messages tonight.
• Make a list of other work to be done this week DONE
• Schedule debt repayments and make a list of other companies to contact DONE
• Do some work on soft toy that I’m making for dd DONE I got the other leg completed tonight.
• All meals from stores DONE
• Have a NSD DONE
• Look into selling on price minster. Do anyone sell on this site, is it any good? DONE I think I will stick with ebay for now.

Today has been really good as I have managed to get everything done and also managed to spend lots of time with dd. DH has had some really good news, he may be getting a second job, which although means working more hours it will give additional monthly income.
