    Had a lovely surprise today ~ I won our village's monthly draw so that's £100 straight off my debts :)

    Need to update my totals again as I keep paying off a couple of pounds here and there.

    Hi,

    I'm so sorry I haven't been about for what seems like yonks. Life seems to have run away with me lately!

    We have moved office, my Nan had a bad fall and broke her arm and shoulder, OH and I are in the process of moving in the next few weeks.........erm, so yeah, busy! I will catch up with everyone over the next few days. But I'm still here, plugging away! Not letting those pesky debts take over.

    Catch up soon. xxx

    Nothing to report really, did the weekly shop online this morning - was 4p over budget (extremely good for me :D, will just have to wait and see how much it is when it comes), got free delivery, got £1 cashback for buying cravendale milk instead of regular stuff and received a voucher from last weeks shop for £2.28 which i'll use next week.

    Also, received my next delivery from the sale and two things don't fit so they'll be going back saving me £10!

    Hubby sold something on ebay last night and he just tells me two things have sold today!!

  • Apologies for my error yesterday - I haven't updated for ages! Possible because I'm so obsessively trying to pay off the horrible catalogue debt I have! I forgot how to work it out and needed to add up everything and re-check my signature before I could add everything up again - it's a bit confusing as I've taken out a credit union loan again BUT definitely better than having all the catalogue interest added on! July was a huge month and August is the worst yet... but after that things calm down a bit and the catalogue won't be getting all of my money next year that's for sure! I had a very hard month and to my surprise, WAS accepted for a Barclaycard (3 month no interest on purchases) so that helped me one month!

    So... my actual figures are!

    Glad it isn't just me. I've got a whole week till PD :eek: we are off on holiday Friday (borrowing a friend's caravan :money:) and I have £100 in my account to last us till Wednesday so beach and pool mostly eating at the caravan) then we can do all the expensive (!) stuff like pizza or cinema thurs onwards. We will be fed by friends Sunday so that's :money: too. I then also get paid Friday :j:j And DH on the 6th.

    I will update next week though, must take my laptop so I can stare at my spreadsheet even on holiday :rotfl::rotfl: and chase money around the ODs :D
