    Only 4 more days until payday - literally can not wait. Not felt so poor as I do this month. Clearly my money management didn't go well :o

    Today HAS to be a no spend day. Leaving me with some money for a catch up with friend tomorrow evening followed by two more no spend days for sat and sun. Shouldn't be too hard as hope to be working, waiting to hear and if not working I shall be clearing and sorting the house. Perhaps even find some things for e-bay.

    Note to self - amend standing order for DLC debt - 1st stage of clearing in full.

    So far so good on the NSD - only have to go out to take the pooch for a walk so I can see me doing it. Woo hoo!

    I've sat down with hubby and we're going to raid his parents loft for old things of his to ebay. He has loads of star wars, lego etc - surely they must go for something. Will also have a look up in our loft. Will start slowly and ease into it as not entirely sure how to do it all. Never really been an ebay person, more like offload to the charity shop. Well now charity really does begin at home.

    Healthy eating so far so good too - easing back into after a month of being ill. Special K for breakfast, yog for snack and small portion of beans on toast for lunch. Not cost me a thing as all from home. One dog walk done and another this evening which is easing me back into the exercise.

    All in all, not a bad day so far :)

    Hello lovely,

    You're still here too - yay (in a non yay way as obviously i'd rather you weren't!)

    How are things?

    Something seems to have clicked of late. I think it's because the remaining balances are a little lower now and more attainable. I'm a woman on a mission :rotfl:

    Look at us know, remember when they were in the 50's!!

    Thanks hon. Well done on clearing another - it's an amazing feeling and a nice lump sum to save to clear another each month. We seem to be taking a similar approach to it.

    Also very weird but hubby and I are considering to start a family as realistically by time it takes to fall preg and then the whole 9 months things financially will be fine. EXCITING!!!! :D:D:D
