    A week and a half into my new job and not really enjoying it, another 8 days to go til pay day and I feel guilty for wishing my life away.

    Must be positive - at least the account for the house I rent out, is back in the black, after the house was empty for 3 months - finally got tenants :j

    Hi QB.
    Glad you got more tenants in. I like your plan on focusing on the smaller goals- baby steps as they say! I do find it overwhelming looking at our overall figures.

    Well done on the NSDs. I think I'll start back on the NSD challenge next month.

    It's quite easy for me, I just go to work without any means of paying for anything :)

    The thought of that scares me!! I'm considering going cash only but I'd always have to have some with me 'just in case'

    That is exactly what I do - if my car has fuel I do not take a credit or debit card to work, nor cash. I take my lunch,fruit for between calls and that's it.

    Woo hoo child benefit has gone up £13 a week, I knew it was worth having another baby.

    Not that I'll see any of it, but good Mrs QBW has a bit more.

    Just checked my current account and I have £45 to last me 15 days. NSDs are going to be enforced - hurry up pay day!!


    Well managed 13 days so far without using my current account, put a bit in and the only thing going out is an overdraft charge :mad: Need to get back in the black desperately.
