Off to Mr L's parent's for the weekend, potentially hefty petrol spend but they have a pool...

Jealous!! Enjoy it - seems like the perfect weekend for it!

Just a quick pop-in to :dance: :dance: :dance:

OH just got a cheque from a PPI claim (from a loan years ago when he was a student and stupidly took a few loans out, which are paid off now though). He just did it himself and persevered. We now can pay his dad back (in full I think, 2k) and he's out of his overdraft (1.5k) (I think those must be the numbers as he said he is out of those debts now, he was only expecting 1k, better look at the cheque myself tonight to believe it). :j:j:j

Had to rein him in though, wanted to take us away over the weekend to celebrate. I said no, enjoy just being out of those debts and maybe buy us a burger at the city's BBQ on Sunday

Back to work, catch up tonight....

oooh and just read about NSK's chips too....double jealous!

Am on a training course 5 minutes from my home, so have nipped back to have lunch. I'm cruising towards a SFD - won't count it yet as I'm aware I am passing an Aldi on my way back so might pop in to see their specials.

KarmaChi - that sounds like a purr-fect lunch! I love it! Have'nt had a nice salad in ages.. or cheese...

:T:T:T for Thrifty!!!

Hi everyone
Finished work at midday, went to see a friend for a cup of coffee and then home to sit out in the sun!!!!
Anyway its another SFD for me, off to make tea and carry on sitting outside, unfortunately its my weekend working, so I don't finish until 2pm, but at least I can enjoy the sunshine in the afternoon whilst it lasts

wowsers - actually went into Aldi and came out with nothing! There were so many intriguing things I'd have loved to try but Kat's mantras was ringing in my ears about do I need it (no), and have I used up what's in my cupboards (again no)?
So, today is another SFD as I'm staying in to watch my housemates Love Film DVD. I do definitely need to do some grocery shopping tomorrow and housemates birthday on Sunday so they will both be spend days, but I am pretty proud that I managed a work week without breaking out my debit card!

So happy for you Thrifty :j - it must be great to have a windfall like that and put it towards striking some debts off in full. Enjoy that Burger - I'll bet it will taste all the sweeter!

Kat - Happy Yellow Sticker Shopping! Let us know your haul

Hi Everyone!

Bad Kat!!! Chipsies?!?! Now you've got me thinking of them!!!

So far so good. Resisted buying lunch and ploughed on with brown rice and sardines from my cupboard :-/ making today = SFD number 5

Planned spend day tomorrow as visiting a friend over in Peterborough, and Sunday should hopefully be a SFD too.

Quiet evening planned. Food. DVD. Chill.

Have a good one peeps!!!

Hello everyone

Planned spend day today as I've done most of my food shopping. I also had a drink and cake at a cafe with my mum and sis but that came out of the entertainment budget. Bought some summer hats and a cup for DS which came out of the clothing budget. I'm quite pleased with myself as I did all the hunting around to save as much money as I can.

Hi all,
Apologies for my quietness over the week. Just when I think things are getting sorted out something huge happens that knocks me all off track. I've had a terrible week - see my diary for full details as I'm just about to rant on there.
But it's all out of my system now and I'm going to pull myself together and get on doing what I had planned.
Will update my siggy and be back over the weekend.
