I need to find a good way to de-stress. I've gotten rid of all my vices lately to save money, and I can't think of anything else to do! I've been stress eating too much lately, and it needs to stop before it goes on for too long!exercise too. Do you have any parks or something nearby?

Am so excited, when I wake up tomorrow I will have paid one of my cc's off, from 1923.07 down to a big fat ZERO. I started paying every spare penny off that I had on 14 January, not bad for a low earner but its been blooming hard. I have worked 60-80 hours a week and have worked myself into the ground so I am resting over Easter break and will start again on the second and final cc when the kids are back.
I'm exhausted and feel rotten but I'm still buzzing with excitement at having paid off my marker. I feel like my goal of being debt free by Xmas is definitely in grabbing distance
this is absolutely amazing. It made me feel really emotional.
I am rwally really pleased for you
Well done xx:j:beer::T

Nice long walk each evening

It's a bit scaffy around here for 'nice' walks, but I do go swimming. I've had to take a few weeks off from swimming and fitness classes though (bad timing).
Good luck for the OH's interview tomorrow!0 -
I had an unexpected cheque in the post today so that went straight to the o/d. I'm not counting it yet though as I'll wait til the end of the month and total exactly how much the o/d has come down by.
I find o/d the hardest to judge especially the joint account where bills are coming out at different times throughout the month. I find it hard to keep track. That's why I find it easier to wait til the end of the month then compare the o/d at its highest compared to the month before. If that makes sense?Goals for FebruaryDeclutter 2/50Money Made £0/£200Overpayments £0/£2000 -
Hello all!
Payday today and looking to pay £600 off the CC tonight
May be able to make another payment later in the month if I can stay under budget each week and the vets bill for kitty to have her teeth cleaned isn't too expensive.
Also put £200 back into the savings pot to cover what I've borrowed from it.
Oh darn... put £80 on CC this month... need to take that into consideration, bloomin' eck!0 -

DH payday and overtime, ebay sales and no council tax this month means another £600 of the total.

How scary! Burglaries happen anywhere though, my gran lived 6 houses down from us, and her neighbours were burgled. 1 of only 3 in our village in my lifetime! But it is scary. I wouldn't think they would come back to a nearby house any time soon, as people are more likely to be looking out for them. Just make sure you have insurance, keep a decent backup of your computer files, and find a safe place to keep sentimentals.0
