    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!!!

Got a nite to myself so going to sit and sort out Mays budget.

    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!
  • 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.x
    LBM 2008 [STRIKE]£45,091.23[/STRIKE] eek: now £7889:T Debt free date 18/07/2018 :)
  • 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!

  • 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!!
