Just a quick entry today.
Not a very MS weekend, spent £24 yesterday on the leaving do. Didn't make it to the meal unfortunately.
Spent £14 in Morrisons today but OH has given me £6 back in cash £2 on hay for the guineas and 30p on a can of Pepsi Max.

Just waiting for the F1 now.

Hope everyone's having a good weekend x

Well done - you have made a great start to your debt busting

Thanks Lunalady

I need to get moving this morning, maybe closing the laptop would help lol.

Today won't be a NSD as I've got to get some petrol, just going to put a tenner in which should tide me over til I've been paid. Think I've got just under half a tank atm.

That leaves me with about £30 to payday, which should be do-able although I think I will still have some OD fees to pay which annoyingly come out before payday :mad:

Have a good day.

Hi badger Hope you don't mind my subscribing to your diary I wish you all the best with it.

The £30 til payday - does that include all food and other spends? I make a list of what I've got in foodwise and then plan meals from that.

All the best,

Kitchenbunny xx

It's just for anything that crops up, but I can't think of anything apart from petrol Well I have to get a photo printed to send to Avon (eye lash curler snapped while I was using it & cut my eye lid in two places :eek: ) I've also got about £13 in my purse which I didn't count.

If we do end up needing to buy any food I'll send OH when I'm at work then he can pay for it

Plenty in the freezer though, just got to convince OH he wants to eat it. He never fancies what I suggest though :mad: Mind you he's been moaning that he's not got much spare this month either so maybe he'll decide he wants to eat it this week.

Hmm I'm rambling again and not doing housework :rotfl:

I know exactly what you mean about a lot of money spent but nothing to show for it :eek: ours went on day to day shopping and other random ' think we need but didn't really' spends

Loving the pom pom smilie it made me (How do you get them?) oh and love the coffee one too.

Hello there pencakes & sista :wave:

I got my NW debit card through yesterday Just waiting for the internet banking log on to come now, yay so close to being able to close S account

Sista the amount of c**p I must have bought over the years Hohum, I can't go back so I'll just have to change my ways in the future. I'll have to play with the demotivator tool on here. Being DF will be better anyway

Don't think I'm going to get a NSD today OH has asked me to get some apples, he could have asked yesterday when I was spending anyway
I should be able to get some when I go back to work though. Biggest test will be Saturday if everyone else is getting butties, thinking of lbs as well as ££s there though so I will resist - or at least not take any money with me

Right time for a and then housework (since I barely did any yesterday!!)

Have a great DF day!!

I had a massive overspend today too
Spent £6.50 on the car park and had a 100mile trip to make so petrol down. Will be adding this rant to diary later. Hope you are well and obvious thanks

Hey Sista

I hate days like that £6.50 is a rip off

Managed to spend a big fat 0 today OH took a half day so bought his own apples :rotfl: then we went into town and one of the butchers had 4 sirloin steaks for £5 so I got him to buy those, and somehow got him to pay when we popped into Mr A's too It probably helped that I'd his work shirts for him;)

Back to work tomorrow My 4 off seem to have flown.

See you tomorrow
