    had a low spend weeked. we went to manc on the train which id alreayd paid for and my brother in law had got lunch in so was a cheap day out. and sunday the weather was rubbish so didnt do much.

    have been listing all Twinklets clothes on ebay and any money i make from them is going into buying her birthday & xmas presents. dont want to come to septemebr & decedmber and have to cough up for presents.
    and as we have so many plans this year i have to make sure i budget everyh month even more now. my spreadsheets are on fire haha

    payday Hurrah!

    been paying some weekly payments on to my credit card so its coming down nicely. having nice times as well so life is a good balance. i know i should completly stop life and get my credit card paid off quicker...but i just cant live like that. its def coming down at a good pace & ive not spent on it or been overdrawn since Nov 2012 so all positives. i just think i get guility sometimes.

    blimming debt :(
