Time to get it sorted

Today will now not be an NSD . I was supposed to visit my god daughter which got cancelled so I stayed in the library researching for my business. Got hungry and bought a 99p cheeseburger and a bottle of water for 84p.

Tomorrow will have to be better. On a good note though I've managed to do a lot of research for my biz. I'm spending until 4pm in the library searching books for ideas to boost me

The latest issue of my Cosmo mag came through the post today. I subscribed to it when it was 12 issues for £12 - each issue is normally £3.50. It came with a cute little notebook which will be my spending diary. I'm going to start it tomorrow and make a note of everything I spend.

I've been writing reviews today. Searching for more survey sites that pay and trying to find other ways of making some extra money.

So yesterday was not a very DFW day. Today is a new day. I can't change yesterday but I can learn from it. I'm going to watch a footie match - I'll be leaving my purse at home. I'll be out visiting my god daughter etc but I won't be taking my purse anywhere I go. That way I can't spend any money

I'm not totally blaming it but I think Sex and the City contributed towards my attitude to money a few years ago. I know it's only a TV show but they never dealt with the whole debt issue - it was a whole if I want a pair of shoes I'll go and buy them. I won't now if they should have had Carrie have her LBM and have to deal with it. Again not blaming it but watching a show where she bought what she want and didn't face the consequences probably didn't help.

Here's to a new day!

Today was an NSD!!! Partly because I had to go to Cheltenham for work. I left my house at 6.45am and got home at 7.00pm! It was one heck of a long day!

Hovel_lady

Eat the cake and have an early night is my advice

I've had to edit my signature because my debt has gone up. A friend lent me some petrol money (I'm travelling further to and from work now and I didn't budget the extra petrol into my budget this month) and I needed new brakes on my car and was loaned the money. It was a vital debt so I wasn't too bothered about adding it but now it means my debt reaches over £5000. However after my next pay day it will go down quite a lot because there are a lot of things I will be paying off.

I have also just noticed that there is another debt that I haven't included in there because it's mine and my partners and will be paid off next payday. However if I put it in when it comes to next payday it will be encouraging to watch that figure drop quite drastically!

I just wrote an entire reply and then hit the wrong button and its gone! So here I go again lol!

I've included the total loan amount even though only £100 of it is mine but if I need to I will pay a little more depending on the OH's pay this month. But it will be great in 2 weeks when I can reduce that amount by about £400-£500 I'm going to change the colour of the debts as I reduce them and then the final total will stay a diff colour. That way it will be more encouraging watching them go down.

On a plus side though I've had some success with the family tree today!
