August's Almighty Advance

fyggy

Evening AAAers!

An update from me: Still on track!

SFD 6/20. Woot.

Budgets:
Fuel/car: £13.59/50 - 10litres into my car. The rest of that shall go into the hubby's fuel tank later this/next week to cover the rest of the month.

Food: £94/120. Did another shop today which should last until next Weds for final shop before payday the following week. Due to some extra spends over the weekend- £8.99 on cheese & crackers for a cheese board, I had to do this weeks shop on £30 instead of £40. Managed £31.02! Phew. Hubby still not 100% on board and will ask for us to get takeaways etc. I politely point out that it costs the weekly grocery budget! Then suggest we make them, pizza or curry, ourselves from scratch.

Milk: £22.99/25. High budget I know. We drink a LOT of milk and currently switching over to 'normal' stuff. Picked up 12pints for £3. Bargain! Should have enough to last til payday now, or if not, there's money there to buy another 6 Pinter.

cash generating: nil further to add. Still awaiting sales of big items. Carboot planned for last Sun of the month. Booked onto some training to start selling Herbalife. Fingers crossed my 2 items sell soon (hoping to get £450 min).

Credit card payments: £251.42. More planned.

Finally added my first coin to my sealed pot. Found a quid whilst I was tidying out my work bag. Woo!

So overall doing well. No spends on cc. All the accounts in the black.

Evening All,

So here I am folks. Alive and kicking with tomorrow off work as well. Spent £8.56 on some fruit and veg today and had one very simple lettuce salad with a white onion and a dressing with 2.5 cloves of garlic crushed in. That should clear me out a little but otherwise I am on the juice.

Thanks Abundant for the advice. I am determined and to be honest wasn't hungry for the salad but I wanted to give my body a boost/clean and get garlic into me somehow. Don't like the sound of blending it into a smoothie..:rotfl: Only two days to go. More updates though on my personal blog..

Glad everyone seems to be doing pretty darn good! Brizzle well done on the SFD! So proud!!

Nowt much else for me to add incase I bore you to death....

Over and Out ..

I am pushing ONWARDS! .:j:j:j

I think you should buy your own cow! Like this one...



And yes, I have a plethora of farm animal pictures!

I am extremely pleased to say that today has been a NSD so 4/13 so far this month.

Happy days and looking forward to even more in the next few days

Have you ever tried roasting and baking a garlic and eating a glove whole.....?

I have had when in China and you don't have the garlic breathe afterwards which was a huge bonus

Otherwise I would give a Family Guy quote regarding Qaugmire - "Insert them an4........" Hopefully you'll get the reference

Dan I have had them roasted - so lovely! However the potent odor is what clears your system out and it amazing for the body.. gotta have it raw. My mum used to give it to us as kids on a spoon covered in honey. I'd rather have that over any shop bought rubbish anyday...and I get the quote...;-)

I moo-cows!!! That's really cheered me up!

Popping in to say yesterday was NSD 9 and fingers crossed I'll meet the half-way mark today.

Can't wait to see the next farmyard animal reference made so we get another picture!

Just under 2 weeks to go until payday :eek: OM-*-G!!!

Fortunately due to my great self control I have £1.20 (plus coppers, and money i have stashed this month in 20p bank if I get desperate!!!) to last me ha ha ha :rotfl: That said - cupboards are full... Freezer is full... Fuel tank is full... No planned social engagements either... August is my financial catch-up month! I have a week off coming up - but that is dedicated to study so no days out until after I get all my work done.

Have a great day everyone!!! My day plan:

Chill - gym - chill :cool:
