Have grasped the nettle..........now to deal with the ensuing rash

Igamogam

Have opened the online savings account:D

Have cleared out the main grocery kitchen cupboard store - some past it sultanas donated to the garden birds. Just listened to food programme on radio 4 and how food supplies might be disrupted......I have the national collection of bulghar wheat, pudding rice and cous cous:rotfl:

Considering 'buying in' some extras re above :undecided

I will list on EBay today. I will list on Eb@y today. I will list on Eb@y today.......:rotfl:

Bit of a :money: mini revelation LBM moment...spent the last half hour using the Frugal thread spreadsheet to track the money/spends/savings etc....adapted a bit after I gave myself a 10 min crash course in exc*el:D Now a little bit more enthusiastic about the debt busting.....that feeling might disappear once all the figures are in........but I suddenly feel I am in control :T:T

Its a weird feeling as I have a tendency to control freakery but have never had it over money. :huh: Need to add the control freakery has diminished last couple of years as I have started to look at my world in a different way.

Hmmmm LBM number 278........;)

Igamogam

2 days in a pretty intensive brain frazzling, but enjoyable and affirming course. Work tomorrow with the frogs.........I hear its been interesting

Still in love with the spreadsheet :rotfl:

Could do with a snow day!

Igamogam

The snow fairy landed. We have 1.5 cm of the white stuff........work closed *rolleyes*

Going to make the most of it...however OH has taken day off....think he is heading out though so I should have no interruptions and space to get some eb*ying done....maybe.....

At least no fuel cost today but will have to CH on at some point...swings and roundabouts!

Igamogam

Have had an approval for a long 0% BT card which will help move some things around

Have updated and claimed 5 years back on tax relief on professional fees Only a small amount but it all helps and a small cheque on its way from HMRC :j

Eating the lunch I would have had in work today and half a kg down on the weight front.....just havent eaten any bread rice or pasta

Igamogam

Almost gave in and had a small shop on way home as I couldn't think what we had in....but then remembered we had lots "in" and I should really be able to cobble something together! Salmon fillets ( YS in freezer) with big pile of buttery steamed veg OH had added new potatoes as I am low carb ATM

Sounds like lots of positives, and the salmon and veg sounds lovely.

Igamogam

Just 3 frogs to deal with this weekend....

A letter.
An email.
A parcel to post.......

Can't be hard....can it ?:o

Igamogam

One month down..... so far so good. Envelope/purse system works well for me . Putting aside a set amount of cash every week for hair/pet/car mot tax etc/entz ( entertainments) works well for me....I had fogotten *roll eyes* When the time comes to pay these things I either use the cash if there is enough or pay by card and put what money there is towards the grocery bill that week as I only use cash for that. So the ENTZ 'purse' got dipped into this week but there was £20 in there so all OK

EF topped up by bank transfer using a couple of :money: challenges to keep me entertained!


Any 'gains' I get eg sales surveys vouchers etc I put against CC debt. Today it was £4.85 - £2 from bank for staying in credit and £2.85 5p/litre fuel voucher:)

Starting to enjoy the debt busting again

Also chomped a 'frog

Igamogam

Finally......FINALLY ....rekindled my love hate relationship with eb*y. Seven things listed:D

Listing things has become so blimmin difficult with eb*y trying very hard to make you do things you don't want:mad::mad:

Going to try and list at least 20 things a week......yes I have that much.....but TBH if it's going to be that annoying I might have to rethink it:o
