Hi Hunny!

I'm glad you had a good day at olympia, and it was good that you had a second LBM, your definately on the right track..you've made me want to go riding again but i think it will be a once in a while treat as i need lessons (badly!)

i'm amazed you have your DFD so soon, It makes me want to up my game as our figures aren't that much out..I've done my budget for next year and I am def going to stick you you treat of having x amount a day and then anything left over - pay off a debt.

have a lovely weekend xx

Hey!

Thanks, my DFD is based on paying off exactly £600pm which will be a challenge but I reckon do-able if I dont go over the £10 a day budget.

You plan sounds good too, it makes you not wanna spend your day's money cos then you know you can pay off some ££. I've not enjoyed this month without my daily budget. I can't wait to get back on track!

Keep your eye out on groupon for riding vouchers, I saw quite a good deal on there a while back and with winter here Im sure stables will want all the ££ they can get!

That sounds like a good idea...

My aim is to pay off £400 off debt every 4 weeks - but then I only get about £800 every 4 weeks. Though admittedly I don't pay rent or bus fares

I have had SUCH a productive day!

Gave my room a jolly good sort out, resulting in TWO bin bags of clothes suitable for charity shop (wouldn't sell on ebay I don't think) and a fair few books (ditto), cleaned like a mad woman and have a pile of DVD's and CD's to sell along with a few clothes that might get a few quid. But I reckon I might be better waiting now until after xmas?

I watched the channel 4 programme super scrimpers Christmas this morning on 4OD and got some good ideas. There was a recipe for cheesy nibbles which I just so happened to have all the ingredients for so I made a batch and they turned out OK but nothing ground breaking.

After dropping my loot at the charity shop I dropped in on the library and picked up a couple of books for the xmas period.

Have spent the afternoon watching Love Actually with FM1 which was nice and chilled and will have a quiet evening in with FM2 and his gf. FM1 is seeing her new fella tonight and meeting all his friends for the first time and is currently catwalking outfit options!

Just 13 days until Army boys arrival! At least my room is now fit to sleep an officer, I do worry he might inspect too closely! haha

Can't believe Christmas is nearly upon us! I'm really feeling in the spirit now! I can finish my xmas shopping on Tuesday and will write extensive lists and price budgets this weekend and do it as cheaply as possible!

Well done for the 2nd NSD and doubly well done for the 7% on your siggy!

Mum and I managed to watch the Puissance from Olympia this afternoon which was great - amazing to see the horses clear over 7'!

Hello LondonGirl,
Only a few more days before you're back to budget, so you should be so proud of yourself for how well you handled things this month. Particularly as it's probably the most tempting month on spending. You did doubly well based on that!
So a really big Well Done from me.

Erme

Yeah ditto the that :j...

We have snow a semi reasonable covering though haven't been out this am so don't know how thick it is ....

But at least I am snug and warm even if the zip on my skirt won't do up for church :mad:

Thanks! Can't wait to get it to 10%!!

Oh I love the Puissance! It's incredible isn't it, watching them clear that height is amazing!

Hey Muffin,

Thanks! It was blooming stressful at times, but now I think about it I am pleased I cleared £90 off the card that was budgeted for boozing pretty much... much better use!

Thanks
