Hi Sista,
just want to add my congratulations!!
You're doing brilliantly at this. It's really motivating to read your diary, and how far you've come.0 -
Well done The amount you've paid in a month is great
Have fun swimming 0 -
:wave: Thanks
Well today i'm
needed 2 new tyres for my car not budgeted for so i'm now £107 lighter 
On the plus side me and DH had a baking session and made almond macaroons and chocolate cupcakes
Goulash for dinner tonight Have spent too much££ the past 2 days so will need to now have a few NSD to make up for it 
On the plus side, back in the day i would have used the CC without even thinking about it for the tyres, today i paid with debit card will just have to budget harder in the coming weeks to make up for this overspend 
Another
is that the DD for one of the cards came out on Friday and along with the extra £500 paid off it we're nearly under the 6k on this card!!! The aim is to pay off this one (currently @ £6039ish) by Feb when the 0% ends and to be down to 15k by December.....might not be achievable but fingers crossed
