The kick up the a&£e diary for debt busting

tattycath

Didn't really have a Tilly tidy today but moved £5 to ISA today.
Joined second purse challenge last night.
Made a to do list for the month-really need to find my mojo to sort things out.
Sold an item on eb@y at weekend and it's now been paid for and posted out-that's another fiver after fees.

No Tilly tidying available today.
Been at work last night, had 5 hours sleep this morning.
Just psyching myself up to do some necessary jobs.

Just tidied and sorted shed.:)
I'm sure I saw some astonish in there the other day...but now it's vanished.
Tidied and sorted cupboard under sink too
DD2 helped me with both jobs.
Just got to clear the rubbish I've created now.
I do have a bottle of wine in the fridge for later.

I threw 4 bags of rubbish out after my sorting out yesterday.
Went shopping last night and spent over £70 :eek:
I impulsively bought a £2 scratch card ( a rare occurrence) I won £100.00 so I am going to cash it today and put it towards the bathroom.
No Tilly tidies today.

i quite fancy doing the elderflower cordial but have nothing to put it in

how long will the £70 shop last you though tatty? if it lasts a while then it may work out cheap in the long run

Hi Hun.the shopping might last a week with a small top up. But at least with the hundred quid win it offsets it somewhat.
I've started the 2nd purse challenge so I'm hoping to cut my full price spends. I bought a couple of bacon joints for £1.46 each instead of £2.90 each

I sterilised a 4 pint milk bottle in Milton and put mine in there.
There was some left over so I put it in a jar. Admittedly it looked like a wee sample but it didn't last long and was soon drank.

is it ok to put into a plastic bottle ?

thank goodness for the win then if it helps offset the cost of the shopping, but you did get some bargains as well so that is good.

If it is cordial you are making a plastic bottle is fine. I don't think elderflower champagne or wine would be so good in a plastic bottle-but I don't know for sure. I'm a real novice at this.
