Well it's been a spendy weekend but it was all in the budget so really can't complain. Today I:

* checked the bank - looking ok(ish)
* managed to get reduced but still very fresh flowers from the florist for cemetery
* no tumble drier now since Thursday
* take pics of breadmaker to sell online
* await reply to freecycle request
* phone FSO re PPI claim. They have received it and have posted stuff out to me today to sign etc. fingers crossed
* out for lunch with OH. He paid so a NSD for me (also no need for dinner cos it was 3 courses)
* PayPal payments are now in my bank so will make my PAD

Enjoy the rest of your day

Evening all, just checking in - listed one thing on Ebay, don't have inclination to get camera out to list other thing... Need to just do it!!! Car insurance renewed - sub £400 for first time ever so very pleased, company matched the cheapest quote I got so no messing around with NCD proof or anything. Also have the money stashed away ready to pay as soon as it hits the CC (Tesco Clubcard for the points!), and used SayNoTo0870 to get geographical number.

Hope everyone's ok and had a good Monday - sun's finally shining down here!

Hi everyone,

Another one that fell off the wagon this weekend! Although only 12 days til payday and have only used about £20 on cc (hoping to pay this back before payday anyways!, usually put loads on cc but the small things have really helped!)

Had way too much to drink last night and still hungover now! Would love to get home to bed but I have to study

Done today:
- checked bank
- checked cc's
- updated app with this weekends spends
- PAD £2 to savings for big cc -£13 in there ATM!
- lunch from home
- bought a few Hangover snacks to get me through the day!

To do:
- get lunch ready for tomorrow
- study for 3 hours
- put washing away that was hanging around the house to dry this weekend

Evening all, at work today so just getting a chance to come on here now.

Today I have

- worked
- checked banks
- meals from stores

That's it for today. Enjoy the rest of yours xx

Hi everyone
Late check in from yet another who fell off the wagon this weekend. I got invited out shopping with a friend yesterday and spent £20, which is a fraction of what I used to spend but still felt guilty about.
I also cannot get on the diet bandwagon - just over 3 months to the wedding and I'm heavier than I've ever been. I just don't know why I can't do it.
Anyway, today's check in:
nsd
checked banking
meals from stores
little bit of flylady
made banana cake rather than throw the bananas away
phoned Natwest re their latest muck up dealing with me (fingers crossed I get somewhere with this one)
Hope everyone is ok.

Managed to achieve everything essential today and quite a few non-essentials. Loving this nice weather as LO get to play outside and get lots of lovely fresh air and sleep through (he's never been much of a sleeper or eater).

Have hopefully sold a few things to bring in a little more money and every little bit will help.

Hope you've all had a great day and the sun has shone brightly on you.

Love

Hi Little Pink Purse

I'm just looking at your signature - wow! That takes some motivation to pay that amount of debt off. I'm close to your figure - how did you cope going through this since 2009?

I've only started on this long journey!
