    Morning all!

    Have set up my budget spreadsheet for next financial year. Looked really healthy till I put outgoings in :rolleyes: .

    Earned 30p in pigsback clicks!

    Paid £130 paypal and £10 Green Metropolis money off debt! :D

    Planning cheapo fish stew for dinner, need to invent recipe using manky celery & aubergines!

    Well done Ancasta!
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    1. I have finally taken my head out of my ... posterior... and worked out the full extent of my outstanding debt. It's not as bad as I thought. £2,600 in total. Only £300 of this is on credit cards.

    2. I have applied for a free credit check with Garick.com. I expect the results to be very, very embarassing... how could I be so stupid?

    3. I have searched the benefit checker, and found a number of benefits that I might be eligable for, that would substantially increase my monthly income. Next step... applying (ouch)...

    4. I have started to look up information on how to reclaim past banking charges.

    5. I have realised it is time to solve my problems.

    Today I have...

    Posted Ebay parcels and wrapped more parcels.
    Got a lift to work rather than using public transport.
    Took a lunch to work rather than buying one.
    Eating left overs for tea.
    Put an extra carigan on rather than put the heating on, it has definately dropped a couple of degrees here today.

    And that's all so far.

    Have a FABULOUS weekend everybuddy. X X X
