Badger's budgeting begins

slowlyfading

Yeah, it's chucking it down here boo.

Good luck trying to work out finances today I'm pondering over different things too and wondering what needs to go where - but I bet today is going to be really busy so I won't have time!

Have a good day

Badger and slowlyfading, peeing down here too waiting in for my Approved food del....quite excited actually
I saw that savings acc Badger but can't be trusted not to take some out of it less than 5 times a yr so i went for the other one instead. x

There's a bus strike today in London and I didnt realise until I got to the bus stop:wall: so I had to walk to work. 3 miles. In the rain. :mad:

I've got an e-savings account with N/wide, the interest isn't that high and it will reduce I withdraw more than 6 times a year, but I only really want it to help me budget better. Once the debts are paid off I think I will start looking at a better savings account... but until then its all about the overpayments! :A

I was really worried about how "little" I have to live on after all my debt payments each month, but actually I can live for a lot less and this past month have shown it. I've not really had to change my life too much, just stopping the twice daily :eek: supermarket shop as pretty much saved me a fortune! Makes you realise how easy it is to waste money!

Really tempted to try out approved foods, have you tried it before sista?

Fingers crossed for better weather this weekend! x

Morning, I really wanted to stay in bed this morning then I was a bit late into work... mainly because I decided to sort some washing out. All in the washer now, OH can switch it on when he gets up

Sista I'm going to have to be so good not to transfer out of it, especially with it being linked to my current acc

PC oh no hope you didn't get too wet It's amazing how much you can cut back on stuff and not really miss it Doing the NSD challenges are making me realise how much are must have been frittering away on nothing

Through work I got membership to another company's staff shop which sells things like H soup for 20p and they get surplus stuff from when the supermarkets have offers on and sell it off really cheaply. It's over in another town though and we don't go that way very often so I don't really use it, next week I've got to go over there though so I'll have to pop in.

I've just resisted a bacon butty, hope they don't smell too good when they're in the office I'm sure my cereal that I've brought with me will be delicious

Hopefully another NSD today now, I've asked OH to grab me some multi vitamins which are on 3 for 2 at Mr T. I'll buy him a sandwich tomorrow or something when I would have been spending anyway

please-let-me-be-lucky

Well done on the butty resistance!! You are doing fab Xx

Bacon butties.........

Well done on resisting the butty, and on another NSD

Sista great to hear about approved foods, I was wondering if they were any good, I will have to go take a look.

They smelled sooooo good when they were eating them, but we're having steak for tea (the ones I got for £5 the other week) so I won't moan too much

I've been having a look at AF but haven't bought anything - I'm not ruining my NSD!!

Not long left at work now. Me & OH are going to Croft tomorrow to watch the touring cars, will have to record F1 and try and avoid the result until we get home. Tomorrow will be a spend day but it's budgeted for it.

Right nearly time for shift hand over better make it look I've been doing something other than reading most of the day

Enjoy tomorrow. I spend every f1 day trying to avoid the results as we watch in peace when the kids are in bed.
