Confession time.
I managed to knock the price of the DMs down to £10.56. My paypal account had £13 in it from stuff I've sold, so in theory I didn't actually spend any "real" money. However this really is an unnecessary spend, so...
10.56 - 2.87 from the other week leaves 7.69 to find.
I'm going to take 3.85 from this week and then the rest from next weeks, as I don't want to leave myself with nothing left for the next couple of days.Debts: Mum £3923 0% APR0 -

oh my god!
I'm gone for one evening and its all gone to pot!
Kaz appears to have "lost" all her money and SO has bought the DMs!!!
Can you not call your paypal money your DM budget and then "really" you haven't spent anything you didnt budget for? Seems silly to use last weeks and this weeks. Plus no spending in advance you know
Day off for me today, housework and then meeting the QM later on, who woke me up quite unnecessarily this morning!!!
Tired beyond belief, so have started my day with a cup of coffee xxWealth is not measured by currency0 -

I can call my paypal money my DM budget, my paypal money goes into my treats account anyway, so I guess the DM's could be considered a treat. I did haggle and got them for less than they were offered for, so that's cool.Debts: Mum £3923 0% APR0 -
Phew!!!
Thats ok then
The world is at rights once again
Apart from the QM waking me up!!!

Another No spend again yesterday. You should all try living 'in the sticks' there's less opportunity to spend! Well, except for the internet. I am controlling myself. I've been deleting all the 'special offer' e mails without opening them so I am not tempted. I had to use £5 of my treat money to put petrol in a can and go and rescue DS2 who had run out of petrol but I will get that back. My family all think I am crazy but all those little bits to help them add up!!business mortgage £0))''(+ Barclay's business kitchen loan £0=Total paid off was £96105 PPI claimed and received £13527

Sounds like a good plan PoohBear.
As for your family, I'm sure if it was the other way round they'd want all those "little" bits back, esp when you see what they add up to!
Good on ya I say!Wealth is not measured by currency0
