Yup as soon as payment is cleared they are gone!! I might wait til I get first pay cheque to pay them though just in case anything goes wrong job wise (I don't know what would happen but I am paranoid!!)

I am going to be sticking around for a while (joining the long haulers ) - would I be better on the diary board or am I ok to carry on here do you think?

Either is fine but you could ask one of the board guides to move this to the diary board

Quick update: Monday spent £3 on a few bits I'd forgotten at the supermarket but Tuesday was a NSD - hurrah! I think I can do another one today!

Made bread last night by hand and you were all right it isn't that hard! I don't know if it will actually work out cheaper in the long run but tastes yummy and I love how it makes the house smell

Really need to keep up the momentum, seem to lose a little once you've done all the big things must keep going though, I don't want to go back to my old ways!! Will do a new list this afternoon.

Enjoy the sunshine

SCP you are doing so well..and I agree nothing beats the smell of fresh bread

Went out for the day with dad who was shopping for a few things as he's going away in two months. Bought a track suit (really?) some greetings cards and some meat for dinner even though I'd planned to make something else! !!!!!!, what is wrong with me!! Another thing I need to return :mad::mad:

Must try harder.

Everyone has days like that - I know I do! The good thing is that you've recognised it and know how it feels when you buy things you know you don't need.

Chin up, you're doing great

Hi Squidgy,

I read this while thread today, it was like a novel! It was obvious that with your attitude getting a decent job was only a matter of short time. Well done on changing your ways, I too have found it inspiring. In the past I have hit that £50k mark too, I am doing much better now but I could still vastly improve my spending. Thank you for sharing, you have done really well. Don't be too harsh on yourself about yesterday, you've made a lot of steps in the right direction. Well done!

Richard

It was only for jogging and NOT leisure wear honest Things aren't that bad yet You're right though Sista, a lot of it is just breaking the habit. So disappointed with myself but at least I can return it.

Aaaw thank you Richard! Haha, I wish it was a novel i.e fictional!!

Moan over, am off to do something productive towards busting this debt.

Have a great day all x
