Cleggie's frugaltastic journey to financial freedom!!

I think you've done well today, especially since you're feeling under the weather. Be proud - you have acknowle3dged your issue, and done something about it by only taking cash out. That's real progress. As they say, Rome wasn't built in a day. It'll take time to be 'healed' of sm problems, but one step at a time is the perfect way to do it.

You go girl!!!

Hi guys.
Am feeling awful this evening, hence no writing in my DFD, sorry.
Spent money to try and make myself feel better, which obviously didnt work.

Just keep warm and have an early night. Hopefully, you'll feel a bit better in the morning.

Look after yourself.

Yes, get to bed and read a book or something to take your mind off it, then start again tomorrow. You can't change that now, but you can look after yourself. And that's an order!

Thanks Piq and PG.
I guess i just have to 'carry on taking the pills' and hope it improves. Once my disertation and exams are over and done with i will be able to be a bit more proactive in my fight against depression, but right now i barely have time to do anything at all.

Have to go food shopping today, so going as soon as i have dropped my son at school, i just want to get it over and done with. Wont be buying any meat, as i have enough already, so that will make it a bit cheaper. Going to have to really try hard not to spend too much today.

cleggie

Went to L!dl and Mr M.

Spent £26.12 in L
Spent £13.56 in M
Grand total of....£39.68!

Also go t 5 rolls of cellophane and some gift bags for Xmas, but thats not in my food budget so doesnt count.
Got quite a bit for my money, but i know i'l have to go back and get mik and bread during the week when i do my cheap meat YS run .

Also cleaned out the cupboard underneath the stairs and took loads of stuff to the charity shop. I kept the decent stuff as i am sure i will get round to setting up a seller account on eBay at some point!
Sorthed out the Xmas cupboard and now have everything i need, apart from presents!

Hope you're feeling a bit better today ...... remember to include some "me" time in amongst everything else (((hugs)))

cleggie

Thanks rising,

Hi everyone.
Am back on top form again today
Spent £20 on 14th, alcohol and chocolate and other junk that i didnt want or need
But have added it to my signature (week 3) and i am pretty sure that i should be OK not to spend anything (apart from money on petrol to get to uni on MOn and Tues) for the rest of the week.

Today i have done:
Checked OLB
Defrosted baguette portions for lunch
Read newspaper online.

Still need to do today:
AVOID SM
Write meal plan for the week

Sorry i have been absent, i have been buried in my essay and dissertation trying to distract myself from feel bleugh.
Hope everyone is well?

Oh, also forgot to mention that whilst shopping the other day, i fancied buying old el paso quesilladas....they were £3.50!!!!
So, i remembered that i already have everything i need to make them, apart from the sauce. So bought the sachet of sauce for 79p instead!
