Well I am just full of beans today! This elimination/restriction foody thing I am on is starting to kick in.... two weeks without tea so far / a week without dairy / a week without bread and hardly any sugar ( how did that toblerone get there??)....

Spent last night catching up on The Returned - sorry... and defrosting my toothykins from the dentist woman. She was lovely. Am back in September with them for the other crown and possible root canal...:(:(:(. But the way I look at it - thats £1400 saved! Eeeek!!!

Right then - 4 days down and I am raring to get OUT of this month and on to the next. I am curious as to the amount of interest that will be added onto my loan this month and how I can get rid of it...

Also trying to think up a suitable name for July...Hmmmmmmm!!!

I am out of food money, got nothing to spend which is fine by me cause it's payday tomorrow.... WHOOP!!!

Right some work calleth for the momento... well done chickadees for getting through the month so far - lets get a few more SFD's under the belt...

Onwards and Upwards!

Morning all

Payday here :j but I was stopped in my post midnight payday money shuffle tracks when Santander's website wasn't (and still isn't) working properly. The money went in but I can't get it out again :eek: I'll give it a few hours and call them to sort it out - bills to pay, money to shuffle, debts to pay off!!

Hope you all have a great day!!

I always do mine on payday...I think as long as the minimum goes in each calendar month it doesn't matter when it is. This will be my £750 for June.

Grocery budget: £247/£240
Fun budget: £75/£80
Holiday fund: £350/£350
ISA fund: £0/£400
Debt repayment: £129/£390
SFDs: 9/20

Yesterday was indeed a SFD Today, however, will not be as I need to buy some bits to make Hubby's birthday card. Can't believe I have every die-cut number apart from 4 and 0! There's still £5 left in the fun budget so...

Waiting for my CC statement so I can pay it off. It's a new card so I need the statement for the "how to pay" details, can't find them online, grr! Once I've paid it, I can see how my finances are looking.

Spendy day today: car tax, car service, dry cleaning and rescued some house plants from H0mebase. Didn't know that the plants section of homebase did YS! Well they're orange stickers but still. £1.20 for an olive bush, an orchid and something else I can't identify. Hopefully they just need a water and some TLC, but if they die it's not my fault - the damage was done! :rotfl:

NSD planned for tomorrow. More holibob spends on Saturday (is it too much to hope that Poundland will have suncream? . . . do I want to trust my skin to £1 sun cream?! :rotfl:)

Thank goodness it's payday tomorrow. It's been a real slog this month, and I'm determined to have a better July than June.
I have spent £7 on myself today. Doesn't happen much but I bought a book (just for reading and entertainment purposes), a notebook and some new pens.
In my notebook I have written down some of my random thoughts to help me work through some of my stress, and I have also written my plan of action to help me get back on my feet and feeling normal again. One step at a time. I'm still wondering where time disappears to - it's almost 3pm and I've done next to nothing, but still the day goes by.

My boss lady says the suncream from Aldi is good stuff, if that helps.

Oh thanks! I might have a look at that. Although I'm going to France so thinking French pharmacy brands bought out there might be as good as anything here!
