DH went to mums earlier and mentioned to her that we're on a budget now for everything to try and save a bit of money. She gave us £80 for shopping next week :j:heart2:
After a very brief discussion we decided to pay it off the debt so now only £86 until i'm under the 19k mark :j
As soon as i'm @ 18...something, i will start my diary

My dad often gives us a £50 supermarket gift card just before Christmas - always much appreciated!DFBX2013: 021 :j seriousDFW £0 [STRIKE] £3,374[/STRIKE] 100% Paid off

My mum always asks what we want and we always say supermarket card as this pays for all the crimbo shopping and hopefully this yr with our new budgeting strategy will pay for new year too
