    Hiya,

    Sorry I've been AWOL the past week, life's been crazy! I've got a few things to do then I'm going to get on top of the money stuff. I know it's not going to look pretty :(

    So I've finally totted up my total from last week, I'm well into the red on £164.36/£100 :eek::eek::eek:

    AND I'm on £17.09 already this week, so my target will be £20.00 until Sunday. I have no evening plans so there should be no reason to spend any more...

    It seems I keep going from red to green to red to green, more discipline is definitely needed :(

    Well I was in the red last week total spend was approx £25 :( but I am feeling positive as even though I overspent I was a lot more careful and aware of what I was spending! :)

    This week I set my budget for £20 again. So far I've spent £10 and all in mr T's again so I REALLY need to organise my food budget! No plans tomorrow or Friday & meal planned from freezer so should stay within budget!

    I want to wear my beautiful wedding dress everyday- it would make shopping so much more fun, I mean, people go shopping in their pyjamas these days.......
    Must STOP spending!!! :)
    Proud to be dealing with my debts!
