Hey rising That reminds me, a wise lady once told me I should get a spending diary If you find a cheap A6 notebook let me know :P

:rotfl:wonder who that could've been :rotfl:

For next year's spending diary, I've got one of these .... again you can probably get cheaper in a £shop or similar ...... but it gets very boring in the house when you can't get out & about ...... http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2013-BUTTERFLIES-EMBOSSED-WTV-POCKET-DIARY-WEEK-TO-VIEW-FABRIC-EMBOSS-DIARIES-/170934487067?pt=UK_Stationery&var=470211075348&hash=item27cc7d481b

Nice & small & light & easily tucked inside the handbag:)

Or if you're an App person have a look at this: full budget tracking app - splits things into Envelopes or Pots as some of us call them - so you can keep track of amounts set aside for certain things ..... https://www.eebacanhelp.com/login.php


Mort :wave: I saw you sneaking in there! - Mort just loves pots:p - how's the £2 one coming along:)

So ..... milestones today:

Day 40 of not smoking :j:j(would still bloomin' kill for one most of the time tho:o)

Saved: £100 :j:j

That's over £900 / year :eek: & would pay my Gas & Elec for the year :eek: or - more impressively - TV license & landline & broadband & Sky & Boiler cover for the year :eek::eek:

Keep going ......

Now that's very well done rising ... Keep going

Well done, that's fantastic

Woooo hoo! congrats on the no-smoking efforts. Every day you manage is another step tot he cravings disappearing and another day further away from the last smoke

And that's a pretty good saving and helps to add to the reason to stay away - monetary as well as health

Hi rising :hello:

Well done on the no smoking, that's fantastic!

I'm tempted to download the Envelope Budget Software thingy as it may help with my lack of NSD's and my numerous trips to Tesco's lol

I echo everyone else's thought's too, resist getting the diary thing until you need it.

Off to lurk again x
