    MOT wasn't bad, just a new tyre and brakes sorting so £175 in all - had expected worse so feeling quite relieved. Had to put in on cc as haven't been able to save for it :(

    Well I've updated my signature with my cc debts which I'll tackle before loans. Haven't included OH's CCs as he's not fully on board yet (no LBM!) so I'm working on mine first.

    Target card is Aqua - highest % apr and also smallest balance so should be good for motivation too!

    Not a NSD as had MOT but will attempt to have a frugal weekend (OH got a weekend job so will hopefully gets lots of school work done tomorrow so can relax Sunday!)

    Enjoy your weekends MSE'ers!

    Well done!! Just realised we managed a NSD today - other than the girls dancing which I budget for each week so money allocated for it at the beginning of the week.

    You're doing so well - I had two NSDs over the weekend but needed to get some food in today. Just wondering if tomorrow can be a NSD for me - feel quite competitive when reading peoples diaries - thinking if they can have a NSD so can I - one way of getting out of debt i suppose.
