Muchin's diary of recover; becoming debt free and being happy

Morning again,
I've been playing around with my budgets and I've decided to increase my car payment to OH to £500 per month which means I should be debt free by March 2018. I've added £50 more to my holiday savings and £50 to my general everything pot which covers heating oil, car repairs, MOT etc. I thought if I moved money into debt and savings then there is less chance of me happily frittering it away. So now I have 25% of salary going towards debt & 30% going towards savings.
I'm going to try and stick to cash as much as possible for the month of June and I will take £250 from my bank to start June and see how many days I can make it last -- £50 bootcamp;
- £60 trip away;
- £15 work commitments;
- £20 health;
- £50 diesel;
- £50 groceries.

Evening all,
Thanks INOD - hopefully I will not dip into savings before end of month:o. Hope all is good with you.
Spendy day today but no frittering-
Tues 30th - £50 boot camp/ £13.70 groceries & £5 sponsorship.
I shouldn't need anymore groceries this week as cupboards are full & a colleague gave me a Hellofresh voucher for 3 meals.
Put in a DDA request for a move closer to home & will be given a referral to OHS & need to gather medical evidence. After this I will just have to accept my post & hope work comes my way soon...0 -
