    thanks Nic, I am still coping, but lets just wait until tomorrow when the orange bill comes in. If its more than 70, I wont be able to pay it. Still, I can always pay double next month but I would prefer to pay it now.

    All else good... living off redbulls and tesco 10p bread, dropped a size but loving the sunshine. and had to get two of my shoes heeled but this means two almost new shoes for £11. :) whats up with you?

    Hi Catt

    Thanks for coming back!

    Well I get the red bulls for free (and its better than coffee)
    I am fine, honestly, not even hungry or something… and I eat properly on the weekends really. Amazing how much I save by not eating out. (This is also a reply to lovely Nic - please don’t worry!!!!)

    But we are here to worry! :p

    Please at least get some pasta and Passata - really cheap and filling but healthier!

    I know what you mean about the Red Bull - I used to drink quite a bit of the sugar free one but at least try and balance it with water or something???

    You are completely right, I am balancing redbull with water, one glass before, one during and one after and I follow this strictly with every can. :)

    I did eat yesterday, cheap kosher pretzels for dinner ( a lot, realy!!!) and today I probably will have soup and bread sticks for lunch.

    Today I have bought a b product on ebay that is needed for my treatment (so that I can take it at home and it can reduce my monthyl treatments by one treatment per month, saving 85… ) so that was £17 and if I buy it somewhere else its £29 so I saved £12 :) and still within my budget but now I have £45 until the 26th of April which is extremely scary…

    Delicisiosa.

    Do I need to have another word with you :naughty:

    Did you NEED to have both pairs of shoes heeled at the same time- at the expense of eating?
    :beer: Well aint funny how its the little things in life that mean the most? Not where you live, the car you drive or the price tag on your clothes.
    Theres no dollar sign on piece of mind
    This Ive come to know...
    So if you agree have a drink with me, raise your glasses for a toast :beer:

    Hi Lynz :))


    Well it wasn't at the expense of eating and yeah I think….. :) another pair waiting at home….

    I am eating!!! Really I am. I had an apple this morning & two redbulls, too.

    What do you think about that amazing balance transfer to M&S card? My hsbc bill is now down to £530 - I cant believe it, it was 2000 in January!!!! :)

    Yay

    £45 in 9 days challenge - eek.

    Thanks

    :) its hard.

    Today I had a sandwich. still am within my budget but I have been told I need an other treatment and I dont have the money.

    I am in a complete panic. I dont know what to do. I have £20 on my savings account and literally zero on my C/A. I haven't been touchign the credit cards and as for amex, I am at my limit now.

    I dont know what to do. The treatment is £89. I am so scared.

    I can go £50 overdrawn on my C/A ut thats only £70....
