    Have been looking hard at ways to make some extra money. Used to do matched betting & have started doing wee bit again. Also started doing surveys again & using rpoints for cashback on essential purchases.

    Petrol points & supermarket coupons also being used.

    I've updated signature to include extra £s as motivation.

    Thanks for your positive comments.

    Debt busting is defo not easy especially when unexpected bills or expenses arise.... but I've learned to deal with that.

    Took me a long time to get into debt & gonna take a long time to get out of it.

    Been a very busy month with job but still trying hard to stick to budgets as well as trying to make a few extra £s. Just done the numbers & debt down a wee bit again this month.

    Running has been reduced due to the very hot weather.... but I'm not complaining about that.

    Can't wait for payday next week.

    Back to work after 2 weeks holiday. Hard to get out of bed this morning.

    Plans for this week: spend £0 except for daily essentials; increase running miles after holiday period.

    It's only 19th & already I'm looking for payday to come around again :o
