Morning All,
Today i have three MS jobs, one is yummy lunch visit and the other super at supermarkets so i will buy things i can use to make my lunch for work each day. My petrol is paid for too so its all good. Also as I will be out most of the day, the heating will be off!
Need to sort out my penny jar as i have loose change everywhere and also do what Hope78 mentioned (great idea!) Im going to put £10 under my car mat for emergencies and then give Hubs my purse for the week.
Hugs

Morning everyone.
Yesterday I dried the washing outside but today is wet and windy so can't do that again. Pleased I did the towels and bedding yesterday so not much left to dry on radiators.
Have just finished putting into the freezer the meals I batch cooked yesterday.
Going to a concert tonight (part of DH's Christmas present) so determined to keep costs low - petrol and parking only. No rip off merchandise, programmes, food or drink. We're going for the music not a meal and will eat at home first.
Have a great Sunday everyone0 -
I have four bets running this afternoon and tomorrow to fund next Friday's trip :j
Apart from that I'll be sleeping and getting betterNo longer using this account for new posts from 20130 -
Be brave Crawley_Girl re: the car. But I do sympathise. When my car got driven away last year I cried my eyes out even though it was costing a fortune to keep on the roads!
Today I have:
* Done C&S on line.
* Will do a frugal as possible grocery shop later.
* Will have a "use up from freezer" lunch.
* Did a 'reduced powder avec soda crystals' wash of bedding. (Unfortunately the rain got to my place of the world quicker than expected so I have had to use tumble dryer for a while...but finishing the stuff on radiators.)
* Decided not to go back into town today to look for some tops. I have bid on a couple on EBAY instead, much cheaper.
Don't think there will be much else today.Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.

Well, I think this counts (it certainly did to me!) - Yesterday I found out that one of my work colleagues (same age as me, opposite gender
) is in a very, very similar situation to me in regards debts. She's yet to talk to Payplan yet, but it's rather nice to have someone close by that I can talk to and try to help as well. Chuffed to be member 11 on the DMP mutual support thread.

Today i have...
- Caught a lift to supermarket with parents so saving on bus/train fare.
-Bought veg "loose" in the supermarket as it was up to £1 per kilo cheaper than prepackaged and less waste since there is just me now!
- Bought reduced to clear versions of what i needed food wise wherever possible
-got few items to list on ebay later if possible0 -
quick follow on...
today I found £3 down the side of the sofa
and my Auntie gave me a large bag of Clinique GWP make up she didn't want.
So it's been quite a good day for surprises.
Have great evening folks.0
