  • i know its crazy.

    i am lso at the moment battling with my self not to spend my "spare" money.

    before my LBM i used to be in my over draft and think "well normally im in my OF this much by now so i can afford to send a bit and know i can surivive"...yes surivie by always being in my OD and putting a bit on my cc. what a stupid way of thinking....

    so when i looked ta my bank...first thought was "look at that money i can spend" then better second thought was... look at that money i have left for my CC. kerching!

    today is NSD number 12.

    had a friend round and then had to go to my mum and dads this afternoon coz my aunty has suddenly died so had to be with my dad.

    prior to this, hubs & i had been and bought tiles for the kitchen from christmas money from my gran. i dont see thi as a spend as its not out of my bank and we've spent it on something we wanted and is worthy rather than just silly stuff. i know i shoudl of put my half of the money on my debt...but hey its spent now and i'll have a nice kitchen soon :)

    hope you're all ok. Monday again tomorrow. but as i bought my bits for my lunches this week yesterday i'm looking for another NSD tomorrow :)

  • checked banks and in credit with Sky so no payment this mum (due to their mess ups last montha nd then i have changed to EE on my internet & phone so got a refun from paying up front) so paid £45 on to my virgibn card & another little payment on my barclay card.

    cant belive when i get paid and pay bills on thursday i'll be in the £7k. i know thats still huge but at i started at £8745.01 i feels like a mile stone.
