    That's good though, Christmas always gets me and end up catching up afterwards. Need to keep this going for a couple of months to see where savings can b kept for that sort of thing!

    February spending so far:
    Petrol: £50
    Toiletries: £5
    Food/Groceries: £100.47
    DIY: £31.60
    Takeaways/Eating Out: £39.99

    Had some good news this morning, one cc has offered £492 as a refund on charges so that will be coming off the balance! :T Have now written to another one claiming nearly £400 so fingers crossed! I've definitely learned my lesson there!

    Looking for a NSD tomorrow, lots of school work to do at home and plenty of food in so no excuse!

    I'm doing a PGCE at the mo so I can understand how tired you get. I'm spending half term filling my freezer up with meals. I also make sure that there is always pasta and tinned tomatoes in the house so that meals can be put together with minimal effort when needed. Maybe you could try the same to avoid those expensive last minute take aways.
