    Hi PPP :wave:

    Things sound like they are going pretty well... the extra pennies coming in from your 2nd job certainly seem worth it. Especially as you get time to do other work while you're there! How is the meal planning going? I spent just under £106 on my whole months grocery and household shopping in March, so happy with that! :D Not sure I'll do so well this month as it may have been a bit of a fluke!! :o

    Good luck as you continue on with the debt slaying!!

    Hi PPP
    have you tried swagbucks? I don't enjoy doing it but reckon if I make £5 pm that's £60 in vouchers for Christmas. Also, do you collect loose change? I always have a bit but didn't ever bank it until a month or so ago when I read on here that you can pay at self-checkouts with it. It was very funny putting handfuls of coppers in the machine. Only do it at ones with a change chute though, wouldnt fancy feeding individual coins in!

    Definitely no reason to beat yourself up PPP! I think we'd all go a little crazy if we didn't splash out every now and again. I've bought a jumper and a pair of work shoes this whole year and when I think back to the time when I'd walk home from work through town and just pop into the shop that is top and spend £100 every couple of weeks it's quite scary!! :eek: Now I'd feel very guilty doing that but if you need something you really have to go out and buy it!

    I hope you are feeling much better, you still sound like you're doing plenty of positive things! I know what you mean with the stalemate feeling where you literally couldn't do any more to earn/save any more pennies. Just have to be patient and wait for pay day to come around I guess. Easier. Said. Than. Done.

    Good luck with everything and I hope you have a lovely weekend!!
