Oops I've already failed the online spending one. Ah well, I shall say no MORE online spending this month. Sounds much better

Well done everyone all the totals coming in are looking fab. Have to take the OH back to his parents tomorrow as he's at the hospital on Wednesday. Tomorrow will be my first night in the flat alone

Well did my clothes sort yesterday so I'm ahead on this weeks challenge, gone are the faded grey bras, because today. . . . . My new underwear came. Ok I've splurged £80 odd on 4 bras and 4 matching sets of underwear.

Big spoil but having seen the state of some of my underwear, I think some of them could have started a church!

I've been having a good think about Part 3 :j and I don't want to rush it so will put it together tomorrow evening now that I've got the templates sorted. Again, if anyone has any suggestions for anything they want in it then please just holler!!!

Night all! xxx

I've got an app on my phone that uses the same principle, but envelopes in place of pots. It's quite useful...easy envelope budget aid. It's online and has android & iphone apps https://eebacanhelp.com/about.php

I've been using EEBA since Eddi recommended it and it's reeeally useful! It's really helping me to plan ahead and move money around when necessary and to easily keep track of everything I spend. It even has functionality for more than one person to track their spending in the same account.

Now I love balancing my budgets and it helps me not to spend and to get all those NSDs Kerri was envious of :j

But, yes Jemma you do need a smartphone!

I don't think I gave out a mini challenge for last week please correct me if I'm wrong!

So the one for last week can go for this week too....I'm doing an April no buying online challenge all of my own... so

Mini challenge: No Online Shopping
Other than those that do their food shop online, the challenge is to not purchase anything from the internet. If you're not physically going to the shop to debate left, right, and centre with yourself about whether you really need it, then you're not buying it Good luck!

Hi Kerri,

You were all upto date with your challenges, you didn't miss one last week. So in true debtfree-challenge-ness, this week we've got 2-for-the-price-of-1, yey :T

Congrats Natlie!!!

Nothing wrong with a wedding on a budget, myself and my nephew were the two witnesses at my sister's wedding after they ran off to Gretna Green and got married in secret. The Dunkin' Donuts afterwards was superb!

A wedding doesn't have to be big to be special, hope you really have a great day, and you're not too tired after all these shifts.
