Moooooving back to DFW - one Fresian's continued adventures in debt-busting

InaPickle

Hello again, Fresian!

You're off to the Post Office. On a Sunday? What kind of Scottish magic is this?!

I went to the Post Office yesterday and posted a parcel to a friend in the States. I wish I hadn't: they relived me of over £43 for the privelige! :eek:

My local supermarket is a 24 hour one and their Post Office franchise is open 7 days a week

£43?!!!!!!! Jings...

Money

PAD/Spends - £115
Entertainment - £39.39
Cat fund - £110
Car fund - £200
Christmas/birthdays - £33.13
Savings - £65
Overdrawn by - £160
Groceries - £95.52
Second purse - £50

The overdraft is going down slowly but surely I hit my second purse target of £50 on Payday by buying items I need for the month and have reached it again since by buying catfood from myself. I know it's a confusing system for some, but I've got £85+ in my "third purse" (well a piggy bank shaped like a hen!) already and have a cunning plan for it when I hit my goal of £120

Not got a huge amount else to report from this weekend. I had a lovely cocktails lunch with a friend on Saturday thanks to a deals website, and have bought another one to have sometime soon! I've made a couple of cards, so my mojo is gradually creeping back, and I've got a great idea for one for Psycho's OH's birthday card so I'm going to get that done this week. I have an order for a graduation card too, so am going to get cracking on that tonight as that way it's done and I can start making more pretties! I went for a nice drive with Mr F yesterday as the weather (for once) wasn't rubbish - we ended up in the Scottish Borders eating chips again! We always seem to find ourselves in small towns sampling the chip shops I'm going to have to do a LOT of walking today to make up for that!!

Happy Mondays to all

Have a good day

Money

PAD/Spends - £75.68
Entertainment - £14.48
Cat fund - £110
Car fund - £200
Christmas/birthdays - £33.13
Savings - £65
Overdrawn by - £148.80

I'm starting to get back on track with my money again, as I was having a minor panic about having spent on my credit card recently. I "encouraged" Mr Fresian to make a donation to the cause though and it's all back in the black again (apart from the slowly decreasing overdraft). I'm going to be selling a load of surplus craft stuff this weekend to build a little bit of cash up and when I add that to the week off work I have coming up I'm hoping I'll be in a better position next month.

In awesome news, I lost another 2.5lbs at Fat Club which means I only have three to go I'm not going to the club for another three weeks due to holidays and a forecasted Bad Week next week at work, so I think that should be achievable
