    Thanks guys!

    Very pleased. A spend of £8.79 today but that's it. And we are under £13k of debt. Fantastic news! I am so so pleased.

    Hello everyone

    Spends day yesterday as it was one of my treats for the month on the J.U.L.Y challenge you are allowed 3) ...the amazing St Paul's Carnival. Really amazing and hugely helped by the weather..so yummy jerk chicken all round. Also managed to get some time without kids in early evening, watched music, ate some more food..drank more cider..you get my drift..which was an unexpected surprise! All very good.

    Hope to have a NSD today. What with various domestic duties (OH has already been working on checking the van for past 1.5 hours bless him, it goes on hire again this week) and maybe the allotment and of course a Murray match to look forward to... what need is there to spend cash!!:rotfl::cool:

    Have a great day everyone..

  • Life is good. Who said debt busting had to be austere and regimented. There should be cider involved at all times!!
    Trying to shift that debt!

    Absolutely SBO..cider is practically a life source around here!:rotfl:

    Good day today. Spent some money having a drink with a mate. Going through interesting times so had to be done. Sainsbugs delivery tonight but that should be it.

    Managed to provide DD1 with a dress from the EBay pile ( one I have 'grown' ;) out of ) for her dance show next week..phew...no need to spend! Bit of a result really.

    Am also writing to the evil BCard today to say can you please close my account!, woo HOO!,:D

    Panels doing well..over £4 yesterday and probably will be the same today. Fab. Fab. Fab.

    All HM food from the freezer and/or larder for tea today. Mother is the necessity of invention..couldn't be a truer statement in my case!
