Watch a soppy film and let it all out, then you will feel more refreshed for your week off
Don't turn a slip up into a give up

Thanks for the good luck everybody - feeling OK as so far there is no snow here and my clothes are all prepped and ironed!

My ebay things finished and even after treating myself to a couple of bits (purely to keep my motivation up of course!) I still had £75 to put in my savings so I am over 20% - yay!! :T

Hi all. It's half term here and I've got the week off. I am treating DD to ice skating tomorrow after she was so good last month when I had to go away with work unexpectedly. Apart from that though trying to keep costs to a minimum this week. O/D still looking pretty good buts can't declare the reduction til payday so it's accurate.
Might have a shuffle so I can get off £0 paid

I've made zilch extra this month and it's already the 7th although just bagged a mystery shop job in Toni and Guy not wages but a hundred pounds worth of cut and colour. Still don't feel I can pay the £100 of my card as I wouldn't have paid that for a haircut. My Man has got a 2nd job cleaning an extra £50 a month but as food has gone up so much I'm not sure we'll be banking much of that. Running out of things to sell, thinking about buying to sell but a bit scared.
hi, I have heard a few people talk about mystery shop. How do you get to do this please? x2017 ChallengesDFBX17 #14 £70.14/£21,321Xmas 2017 #37 £0/£352

Hi all,
I'm feeling fed up today. My car broke down in Cornwall yesterday while I was visiting my parents for the weekend. It had a new clutch before Xmas which cost ne £700 and is still sitting on my 0% card. This time its the gearbox I think, and the alternator light has come on too. I could just cry:(
I am so grateful to my parents who lent me their car to take home to the Midlands, but now I have to drive another 4 hours each way this weekend to take it back.
I might go backwards this month
:(

Hey Ruby, hope your first day is going well.
I haven't done any debt busting recently but on the plus side I haven't got into any more debt! :TGot all the yearly out goings for my car at the end of the month. So think I will keep all the extra cash for then. Anything left over I will put on debt.
I've been really good on the shopping this month, two weeks on the trot I have spent under £50. Normal its £80 plus per week.
I am loving this forum. Everyone is so friendly and encouraging. Keep up the good work :T:A:T2017 ChallengesDFBX17 #14 £70.14/£21,321Xmas 2017 #37 £0/£352

Hello all,
Work has been really busy for the past few weeks including a lot of weekend and evening work so I've not had time to keep up MSE. Have I missed any gossip?
Payday on Friday
Waiting on my CC statement arriving, have paid £550 off it this month so hoping I've really dented it at last. Still looking at being debt free for June though I may have to up what I pay on the CC each month.
Did I say that Hubby cancelled Sky Sports n Movies? Saving us £32 a month and now he just watches footy on his laptop so I can actually watch TV - not that there's anything on worth watching these days!
Will come back and update once the CC bill arrives xx0
