Evening everybody...
Am a little late with my updates...
Yesterday I went straight from work and out with a friend to the beach and he treated us to chips and drinks and drove there... so I still managed an SFD.
Yesterday = SFD number 4
Today however was most definitely NOT!!! On the plus, I got petrol and got 3 out of 4 birthday cards/gifts sorted all on the same day (and had money aside for these)... However - went out with the same friend and it was my turn to shout us and I got a bit carried away...
I bought us lunch and drinks, and some coffees, and a crystal for myself and one for a friend whose health is suffering a bit... and some sweeties!!! I did however keep track of it all, and save my receipts... My signatures are updated below.
Bad Bad Abundant. I did have an AMAAAAAAZING day though

Hi all
Spend day yesterday as went to the local carnival and DS wanted a few goes on the rides with his friends. Hoping for a SFD today but it's carnival day again so it depends whether we go or just stay at home and play in the garden.
On the bright side - I won £10 on BirthdayBingo!My debt free diary | Post Office loan: £2131 1429.38 | Barclaycard: £4429 1988.12 | Paypal Credit £322.71 574.91 | Monzo Flex £169.03 |

Morning
Sorry I didn't update yesterday. It was a spend day......unfortunately a high spend day. I managed to find my daughter a dress but in the end she got one from Monsoon at the grand total of £32.95. We found loads of dresses but they were either unsuitable, not in her size or she didn't like them. By the time I'd paid for the bus, drinks and lunch I'd spent £53.33. Nearly up to my £80 limit now so I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do about the drinks for the meal......saying that I've paid for absolutely everything to do with the meal so maybe it's hubby's turn to dig into his pockets?!!
Not leaving the house today so it should be a sfd but I'll update later.
Enjoy the sunshine!!

Hi folks
Spendy yesterday as we thoroughly enjoyed one of the treat days...amazing St Paul's Carnival. All good. Loved it.
Aiming for a no spend day though...so much work to do in house and of course a tennis match to watch..that will have no time to spend money:rotfl:
So thrilled about my reducing CC debt...really driving me on. Thanks Kat for starting this challengeAlong with everything else, it is acting as a real focus for me and my OH.:T
