    i am not including my birthday money as i want to spend it guilt free.

    Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend.

    I put my birthday or christmas money into a separate account from main money so I can either save it up for a larger treat or buy smaller treats depending on what i want.
    Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.

    Does your hubby know you've been selling his games???? :rotfl::rotfl:

    Also would you like me to adjust your budget on the front page to £100?

    LOL yes he does know bless him. I told him its a quick way to earn a bit of extra cash and he never plays on them anyway.

    If you can amend my budget that would be fab, easier for me to look at my spends as a whole rather than splitting it all up I think for now.

    Got to do my first jumpy smiley too - :j NSD for me!! I would've spent a few quid at my local butchers getting some carcasses for the dog but as its new year she gave me them all for free :D

    Hope everyone else has done well today x
    Looking for a fresh start

    NSD for me today. :j however tomorrow will have a spend as we added chips to our meal this evening, and have to pay my friend for mine tomorrow. So will see if i need anything else tomorrow to make it a spend day.

    Morning everyone

    ETO - Hope you had a good birthday and that you enjoyed your spa treat

    Tues - Went to my WW meeting last night and lost 2lb which has taken half of what I put on over Xmas off already :D. Bought the magazine, some new pasta pots they had there and a raffle ticket (which won so I got another £5.00 to spend in the shop so bought some crisps, biscuits and cereal bars paying £2.50 for them) £8.50 spent (£1.85 put into the savings tin as have found an extra 35p which I think the WW lady has given me by mistake so will check with them when I go next week)

    Have a good day everyone xxx
