    Hopefully only petrol today, going to collect my daughter and beautiful grandson, have already got pombear crisps (his fav) and hopefully will spend the afternoon cleaning the recycling bins, what fun, but i think he will enjoy it, water and a 2 1/2 year old, why do i need to spend any. Today is my first day after my lightbulb moment last night. Thanks to all who had words of comfort and advise

  • Hi Moozie & All

    Hope you managed some shut-eye Moozie, (or should that be Snoozie!)

    Its another gorgeous day here so have been out and enjoyed some early sunshine. Have spent £2 on cakes ( i know :naughty:) and £3.48 on bananas, oranges and grapes. Didnt think i would have to buy any more fruit til next week but someones re-discovered the fruit bowl!

    Red Nose Day cost is £1 for DS at school

    So, total spend is £6.48 and that should be it for today.

    Enjoy the sun while it lasts and hope you have a good weekend.

    morning all,
    am still tempted by new pillows, am at work so i may not get chance to get out and buy them so thats probably not a bad thing :rolleyes:
    otherwise probably 50p on a can of diet coke, lamb stew in the fridge ready for heating!
    have a good day

  • This morning DH found out that he got the job he interviewed for on Wednesday. Fantastic news (and very unexpected). Good salary that cancels out my iminent pay drop :). But we do have to relocate, which is a pain because of my new job, but hopefully I'll be able to transfer - just don't want to cause waves before I've even started!

    Anyway, I feel less guilty about my spending spree in Primark yesterday (I did get told off when I got home) now. I tried it on, and nearly all of it fits. Only £12 worth going back to the shop. Also returned £25 worth of stuff to Next, so didn't spend anywhere near as much as predicted ;)

    Should be a no spender today. We'll be going for a meal tomorrow, which was to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, but will now double up as a new job celebration too. :)
    Bank loan - [STRIKE]£9949.52 [/STRIKE]/ £8705.83 * Loan from DH - [STRIKE]£600[/STRIKE]/ £350 * Overdraft - [STRIKE]£0[/STRIKE] £648.47
    Total debt at LBM (09 2006) - £10,549.52 Total debt on 14 Mar 2007 - £9704.30 - 8.1% Paid off
    This week's budget - £20 Spend so far - £32.50
    March's target - keep overdraft below £600 - failed :(

    Proud to be dealing with my debts
