in Debt-free wannabe
It's the weekend and the sun will be shining all weekend long :j

So, why not let us all know what small steps you will be taking today on your quest to becoming debt free. Remember that these are the things that may seem insignificant but are actually forming the good habits that we should have learned long ago and will help us to reach our debt free dates, and to stay on the straight and narrow!

Today I have/will be:

- checked my online banking for the mid month repayments and updated my snowball
- listing a couple of bits on ebay
- re-listing some stuff on amazon that has expired
- take home made lunch on my course to save buying when I am there

Have a good day everyone, and enjoy the weekend. Don't forget suncream x

    You will be holding the cheque? How about waving it about in a crazy fashion whilst using the other hand to flick v's at Barclaycard whilst doing a little jig in your frontroom?

    Woo hoo!

    Today I will be having a nice day at home. Clearing the front of the house to give it some kerb appeal AND enjoying the weather. Will be doing some home cooking and later on playing rounders in the park with some neighbours. Life is good!

    Today we need to do the food shop as we're running low and am going to go down the market for our potatoes, fruit and veg instead of buying tescos stuff.
    Also going to go take MIL to see her bf who's in hospitals after having a heart attack :(
    Waiting for my ebay auction to end tonight.
    Got to do my piggy comps
    Doing some washing to put out on the line as it looks like it's going to be another warm sunny day. :)

    Today I am ...going to work.
    Placing an advertisement for my new venture.
    Photographing and putting items on Ebay.
    Posting Ebay stuff.
    Collecting wages from last week :D
    Tidying house further preparing for the move.
    Having a freebie lunch at work.
    Getting a lift home rather than paying petrol or busfayres.
    Putting washing out on line seeing as it's such a fabby drying day.
    And not such much MSE but giving my 16 year old a really sound bollocking for coming home drunk last night followed up with a "you're grounded for two weeks and you have just kissed goodbye to your allowance too" speech.

    Other than it should be a quiet day in the sunshine...have a great one everybody. X X X

    Apart from kicking myself for spending (or should I say drinking) too much last night... will be doing food shop with a few money off vouchers to use, and going later this afternoon/ evening when there'll hopefully be more reduced things :)
