Hi LondonGirl,

Just spent the last few days reading your diary. I found it inspirational, entertaining and I am full of admiration for the way you are determined to be debt free and change your habits.

DD2 directed me to this website last week when I found out I was losing my job in a couple of weeks time. I have certainly picked up some very useful tips. Like everyone else I have my fingers crossed re. exam results. Good Luck.

Hi Lezley,

Thanks for reading and posting, welcome to the forums thanks for your lovely comments I can't believe its been nearly a year now, I feel like its all still so new!

Sorry you have lost your job, this website is fantastic for picking up ideas to save money. I hope you find new work soon

Thanks, not long now! Desperate to find out!

4 e-bay watchers now, still nil bids.

Didn't manage the NSD as I bought some veg and pasta sauce on way home but made enough to last a few nights so shouldn't have to buy more food this week.

The polo might well be rained off, although it would be shame for the match to be called off I really want to save the money!

Right, need to go and decide what on earth to wear tomorrow!!!! I really really hope he doesn't want to do anything thats going to cost! If it wasn't so flaming wet I'd suggest going to the park with a bottle of wine and food but when it's raining its impossible to not spend money... any ideas very welcome!

Hi LG

Man front sounds like is going good. Hope you have a nice time tomorrow.

Keeping my fingers crossed for your exam results. Seems ages ago when you were taking them.

Take care.

Museum's / Galleries - Cup of coffee at the tate, that is extortionate but not too bad

Meet up at a pub - couple of beers / soda's not extortionate

Covent garden/Camden market - bit corny for a proper londoner + hard not to buy stuff - but could be way of broaching that you were saving for something/paying off past indulgences depending on how frank you wanted to be

Grab a couple of boris bikes (easier to cycle if its a bit grey)

do they still do free radio shows?

hey LG! ooooo how exciting a date! Not sure what the big smoke s like today, but no sign of rain down south so maybe that bottle of wine in the park might work? Hope you have lots of fun x

Thanks for the ideas Mark, not sure if they do do the radio shows but I like the idea of when I do tell someone why I'm money anal paying off past indugences is a good way of explaining it and its the truth!

A bit cloudy but no actual rain so far... might have to play this one by ear, he's going to text me later and we'll work out details x

Didn't get a NSD yesterday as I had to buy some pasta sauce which I thought I had stacks of... hmmm and today won't be one which means I really must get a couple out of Weds, Thurs and Fri...

Few more watchers on ebay no bids yet.

£1 to C Card for PAD

I spoke to Mum this morning and she's just transferred £100 into my account bless her and said to pay it back when I can. I'm going to pay her back on payday but I don't want to mess up next month by having to pay back an extra £100 so I'm moving it into my online saver account and will only dip in if I have to then hopefully I can just transfer it back next month without it affecting the debt busting. But I do feel better knowing i have it there as a buffer. Still going to try and make tonight as spend-free as possible

43 hours until exam results.... can't believe I can count down in hours now!

Sigh.... LondonGirl is in lust that is for sure! Had a wonderful night with D, we went to an italian where they make all the food fresh in front of you. You go to a counter and order what you like, and they produce it while you wait, quite inexpensive and and he paid for that which was really sweet of him. Then went for a couple of drinks in a scandinavion bar where I paid for a couple of rounds so in all, spent £17. Seeing him again Friday for bowling! So nice we live so close as he walked me to my door and make sure I got home safe.

Today already has been spendy as I had to buy painkillers, I WILL get a NSD this week!

This time tomorrow I will have the results. VERY nervous about that if I get any sleep tonight it will be a miracle!

£1 to the credit card again for PAD

Ebay - 6 watchers on 3 items. No bids.
