We are about to pull the purse strings soooo tight!

Have been up since 6.00am, another 2 loads of washing done.:)

On the downside its taken me half an hour to get the laptop to work :mad:

Mummy - I love the summer too. Can't wait til we put the clocks forward. Looks like another dry bright day.

Didn't get chance to go to get 'bits' yesterday, so will go this morning which means that today won't be a NSD. Have only managed 2 so far this month but should do another 2/3 at least this week.

I've been on the scales.........and stayed the same. But I do feel better for not eating a cart load of rubbish this week. Will carry on and see what happens when I get on the scales next week.

Also my £2 pot is upto £60 . xx

Great News on the £2 pot Alice ! Well Done !:T

Think I mifght get DD2 to add up the contents of my sealed - ish pot later, she loves adding up money !

Just been catching up over your last few days. It is hard to keep the debt busting motivation going isnt it ?? I have had a bit of a wobbly week and weekend really as well. I just want it all paid off so we can get on with our lives without this hanging over us , but we knew we were in it for the long haul !


As everyone else has said though, the diaries are great at keeping you going arent they, I'm just worried I wont be able to keep it up for as long as it takes to clear this debt ! For the first time in years though I have savings in the bank, even if its only emergency funds, but its a great feeling ! ?

Pinot sorry to hear you've had a roller coaster week. It is tough keeping all the debt busting going on top of everthing else we have to do and I can tell you these diaries have really helped in keeping me going.
Great news on the savings, I know how you feel its been years since we had any 'savings' money in the bank too. Keep going Pinot we can do this..................I'm feeling quite positive today . xx

P.S. Had to buy a new mop and bucket this morning as the ones we had had fallen apart :(

Hi all

Sorry to hear you've been finding it tough, as other have said its pretty crushing to the life force at times all this debt busting monotony...I am good most days and then have a blip. Almost bought a £500 coffee table today..:eek:Blo.dy unbelievable...but we somehow found ourselves in the shop. Anyway didn't buy it but I must have been momentarily insane!

So..we all have our down days!!

Here's to a great MSE week..I am hoping for at least 2 NSDs ( which in the Brizzle household count as no adult spending anything) so it can be tough...but let's give it a whirl!

Have a good eve ladies

PinotGrigio41

Yes brizzled thats what we class as NSD as well, noone (including the girls ) buying anything !

Heres to a good NS Week for us all !:D

Alice_in_Poorland

brizzle - Well done on stepping away from the coffee table.:T

Pinot - We are going to have a good week with plenty of NSDs.:)

The CCCS have just called our office :eek:, my heart missed a beat I can tell you. They asked to be put through to somebody in accounts which is in a different office. I started to blush and look guilty and it wasn't anything to do with me.......on this occasion xx

PinotGrigio41

Oh Alice, poor you ! I would have freaked a bit if had answered that call as well !!

Yes lots of NSD this week is the way to go !!

Alice_in_Poorland

After all that it wasn't CCCS it was one of our supplies with a very similar name.....that will teaching me for earwigging :rotfl:
