    I have had an unexpected bill, therefore need to draw up a very strict budget for the rest of the month so that I can manage until payday at the end of the month. I have quite a few meals that I have batch cooked in the freezer so I am also going to draw up a meal plan for the rest of the month so that groceries can be kept to the absolute minimum. Normally I meet a friend for a coffee after work on Tuesdays but I am going to cancel because I really do need to save every penny.
    Best wishes to you all,
    Valentina

    I've bought my lunch into work with me and I have food out the freezer defrosting for dinner tonight. So it should be a NSD day! :T

    Hello!

    Let us all know what small steps you will be taking on your road to debt freedom:

    Nice post - its good to remember that the little things are as important as the big things.
    • I'm going to get to the post office and pay in my freefiver cheque
    • return clothes to Tesco for refund (having used a £6 when you spend £30 voucher!!!!;) ) - dangerous move but will be taking small list and intend to stick to it.
    • Bake some cakes for a friend - will earn me £5
    • Make soup with left over veg and stock from sundays chicken carcass for 2 or 3 free lunchs.
    • Research better click for cash site now that freefivers isn't so good.

    Today:
    * Did any extra 2 hrs overtime at work today
    * C&S on pigsback & quidco
    * Posted on here
    * Cooked dinner even though I was hanging out for takeaway
    * Claimed £1.20 from petty cash at work that I was owed!
    * Have an early night!

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.
