    Managed to save £17.69p after going round town today.

    Resisted all impluse buy's and got rid of my credit card yestarday. To make way for my drop in income.

    I hope all of you are well and best wishes:)

    You see... you've made a start and are already thinking on the right lines :) When our income dropped dramatically a few years ago I refused to look ahead longterm and just took things a month at a time otherwise I would have been really depressed. I sold loads of stuff on eBay and cut spending to the bone. Budgeting was treated as a challenge. Our income has never recovered even after 5 years so it's now become routine to write down an annual budget to stick to. You can do it girl! :T

    Oh and a big WELCOME to smits You'll have a smile a day if you log on here :D Enjoy the banter!

    It's a NSD for me today 'cos I feel too rough to go out (buzzing ears and dizziness and NO I haven't been drinking!!) Have a lovely day all x
