So glad your move went well Kat. You'll be settled in no time - it makes such a difference having a stable homelife. Congrats for staying sane!!!
One approves of your decision to join the Leisure Centre - I am seeing it as an investment in myself - and for what you're paying it's worth it. I keep thinking when I do become debt free if I can be in a fit state to enjoy my new found freedom then great!!!
Goodbye April and hello May!!! Whoop!!!

Hi all, sorry not been on for a while. Have managed 16 SFDs this month and have got £20 left over from my food budget
been very busy as i now have a gorgeous new Grandson
Happy days!! Kat hope your move went ok, think the leisure centre is a great idea, i actually won a competition last month for 6 months free gym membership but shame on me
ive only been once since i got it! Got a nite to myself so going to sit and sort out Mays budget.
Total debt - £16,687.86 approx. - Paid so far - £13,156.30 - £350. a month to DMP - DFD 17/01/2019 But I WILL make it sooner!!0 -
Well this month was a disaster. Pleased its very nearly May but also a bit concerned that I don't have enough left in the budget for the month after my April overspend. May will be a damage limitation month!! Overspent by £309!! And I don't have anything to show for it.
Onwards and upwards......MBNA credit card £3529.14
House extension loan £30238.90
Debt free date September 2016 but would really like to make it happen sooner!0 -
I spend when i am low. I have been low therefore i have spent. However i now know that my mood must improve for the sake of my finances.
Haven't even been properly keeping track on my budget planner.
So may i promise i will try harder, smile more and update daily. L2B.xLBM 2008 [STRIKE]£45,091.23[/STRIKE] eek: now £7889:T Debt free date 18/07/20180 -
Hi All,
Haven't posted for a while but counted up the NSDs - total for April is 26 :T(had a couple of small spends over the weekend).
Looking forward to the May challenge!"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't -- you're right" - Henry Ford0 -
Oh my goodness! This month is over in 15 minutes. I have had enough now! I have a bit of a headache, have worked out a possible over-payment of £700 which leaves me VERY tight for the month but that is what we want for MAY isn't it.. I have it stashed in another account and am going to try and add another £300 to it by the end of the month...how I don't know yet!
Walked into town today.. bought my budgeted for sports rucksack ...from TK Maxx with a naughty purchase of a hoody. Left the store and realised that it was too naughty so I brought it back.. it was £25 and I think I can find one a lot cheaper!! :rotfl:..(see we all have slip-ups)...
Just back from joining the gym and a quick cinema visit so am pooped.
Barely any NSD's on my end (such a bad example) but managed to stash £76 for the bike insurance and was paid today £100 more than I was expecting! So all good money wise...
Right then... See you in May! Let's hit it harder and do it better!!!
Onwards and Upwards!!“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent".0
