    Congrats on clearing one of your debts! Such a good feeling, and not too long before you get to feel it again when you clear the next one!

  • Thanks everyone! I took a screen print today when it showed up "Balance: NIL" WOOP!

    Hi Creasy!! Welcome to the gang :) haha I guess my story isnt too disimilar to hers I'm just not cool enough for a whole film!!!

    All the gang at work have gone out and Im clearing a few bits up in the office and going home. Its soooo pants being skint but I just have to keep thinking how nice it is to clear debt like the card.

    The energy comes and goes and Ive actually surprised myself that Ive managed to stick to this, before Ive always given up when a tempting offer comes my way.

    I'm meeting a mate on the way home as he's in London for a few hours and just have my £10 budget in my purse. Got to get into work early tomorrow as Im really behind. We were taken out for a lovely lunch today to say thinks for our year end work and didnt get back till gone 3! And my boss bought us a bottle of champers each, so lucky to have such a cool boss.

    Anyone know if it is a good thing to freeze something like a spicy chicken stew that has creme fraiche and cream cheese in it? Do those things freeze OK when cooked?

    Awesome, have done! Only meant to make a few portions, but then stuck a couple of tins of beans in it and it grew massively!!

    Brought my own sandwiches in today as I had no money left of my allowance, they were quite nice and I nicked a few of my bosses chips!

    It was nice catching up with my mate last night, he's not in London much these days. But I did over spend by £5.50 because the cash machine the other day only splurted out £20's so I have to carry double budget until I break one which is really annoying!! Netted off to my £2 under budget of Wednesday I'm currently £3.50 over budget, not too bad.

    Doing well for a potential NSD today, well got no cash in purse and no cards so no choice! haha

    I'm so looking forward to going home this weekend, its been a crazy few weeks at work so I'm really looking forward to chilling out at Mum and Dads and playing with my niece.

    Tomorrow I will spend a few quid on a birthday card for Grandma and I need to pop to Boots too, expecting to spend a fiver in total. I'm gonna make sandwiches to take for the journey and then shouldn't spend the rest of the day.

    Sunday should hopefully be a NSD if I make some food at Mums for the train journey back!

    My NW loan DD went out this am so that's another £104.79 off the debt! Off to change siggy now.

    Hope you all have nice weekends planned?
