I appreciate the kind words folks - In that case I will join the cause!

Please put me down to join the challenge, as you can see from my sig I have £15,626.32 to clear.

If I manage to do it, that means I've completed it in about 1/3 of the time I gave myself to do it - certainly a challenge.

Following a few diaries already of people on here - loving yours kerri_dfw!

Aw fanks :j it's giving me focus.

We're in this together. I want to know everyones hints and tips

It slightly concerns me that I haven't done anything MSE over the last few days!

I'm still up because I've scared myself! Got to get up in 5 hours!

If you've cooked one meal instead of having take-away then you've done something MSE. Don't be disheartened, we all slip Just aim to do one small thing tomorrow instead xx

I will be updating once maybe twice a month in big bold numbers! so you won't miss mine!

I've cancelled a meal out next friday so that should save me £30!:T

Welcome katiec & Jane

Charleyroo, have you considered taking a flash of your fave coffee to work instead? My OH drinks fresh ground coffee everyday, it's about £2.50 for a bag that lasts him about a week. He takes this to uni with him and saves about £10 a week.

Hi Kerri, yes I would like to, but the trouble is the man in the coffee shop has it made for me for when I get there so I will have to go and see him one day and tell him I'm not having it any more which won't be very nice

Aww, could you tell him it's going to be your Friday treat instead?

DFW thing I've done today, forgotten my purse :j But it's ok, I have yoghurt and museli (already bought yoghurt last week, museli was £5.50ish for 6kg from Suma bulk bought at beginning of month) for breakfast, and brought in half a large roll and a tin of soup which I bought on Saturday. For the first time I don't feel panicked about not having my purse :T

Hi Kerri_dfw,

What's Suma?

I bit the bullet today and paid some more money off my BC - £164.32 I want to pay £400, but can't commit to that in one go. Bite sizes chunks over the month seems less painful!

Annoyingly I forgot my lunch today - the first time in months! But, nothing I can do about it - just got to make sure that's the last time!
