    Had budgeted £350 for DD2's new school uniform (don't worry DD1's has lasted her 2yrs for the complete set and PE kit). Gone are the days of Mr A's or Mr S's budget range :-( Anyhow, it all came in at £233 as they were doing a mega special offer starter pack deal including a free blazer, so I've put the unexpected (but emmensley grateful) £100 in the cc pot. (With the final £17 going for little treats for the kids :).)

    And I found a tenner whilst changing handbags, yeah! :rotfl:

  • hi there
    have you done a soa yet? if not if you can do one that will help everyone on here look at where we can help you save on everyday bills. Also you can do a snowball on whatsthecost.com
    this will help you the best way to pay off your bills. As a general rule you would pay the highest interest off first but as you can see from mine i had a few smaller ones which i have scrimped to pay off in last 6 weeks but what a buzz it has given me. i now have the inspiration to go all the way this challenge will be egg card 1 out of the door with my foot up its butt!!! I get really good tips so hoping to put 20 a day in a tin and get it paid. why dont you join us you could do a pound a day £100 at the end. it really is addictive, if not you will find the inspiration you need on here peeps are great. good luck and dont ever be afraid to ask someone will always be able to help or just even listen xxxxxx
