    cor blimey!

    Slow ol monday on the thread today.

    Please to report a no spender for me today. Am also in process of making dinner solely out of the cupboards. Hopefully be enough to tomorrow lunch and dinner too...

    Have been playing about with my spreadsheets to make sure I dont leave myself short again next month. But at least I did with paying back debts as opposed to just spending it on rubbish!
    Need to really start getting myself organised with meal planning too.
    I've also decided to cut up my wages current acct debt card. That way I will only have my spending acct card with my unnecessary budget money and my food budget. Really want to start hammering it home in my mind that I need to pull my finger out a lot more to save myself more money since I'm thwarted with making myself any extra!

    Spent nothing today because it was horrible weather and I spent the morning under my blanket on the sofa til I dropped DS off at preschool. Then I came home and went to bed but I couldn't sleep very well. I think I was worried about waking for the alarm. I'm off to work now and I'm getting my hair cut tomorrow afternoon so will have to take it to town for a walk when I do my banking! TTFN, Kaz.
