    In from work and not going back out of that door! Well, I might take the bin down but unless a travelling salesman accosts me on the way, I think I'm safe to declare #11. Was a spendy day yesterday - milk, toast, diesel and a fuse for the car, all planned except the toast! Think that is all to update! Well done to fedupandskint for the dissertation finish, bet it's a great weight off your mind!

    Xmas Saver!
    still stuck on the original 4, the days up to payday didn't do well, havin to buy odd potatoes/bread etc to sort out lunches and meals ruined my start and today is the (insert sarcasm) joyous payday where I get to look at my wages, log into cc accounts and watch some of it disappear, then pootle to the supermarket and petrol pumps tmw and watch the rest vanish :(
    i'm working a 12 hr shift sat and will have just shopped so I intend to be claiming 1 on sat, but sunday brings a leaving doo :( why can nothing on a pub menu cost less than £9 when other (richer) folks pick the pub?? pub grub was once the saying and it used to be cheap not priced like haute cuisine!!. nvm rant over for now. i'm gonna slouch back into skint misery for a bit and start checking where's cheapest for my groceries tmw. hopefully I will have found my happy mojo when I return

    Where does the time go :o I am .... rather annoyingly .... still on No 1:o:o

    Ohhhhh my - honestly, I'm not doing well at all - seriously out of practice!

    Really need to sit down and work out a list of "ok spends" (eg fuel) like I use to AND something for grocery budget (which is sky high just now - long story :()

    I'm avoiding going to the SM as much as poss but a lot of things I can eat (eg bananas) literally only last a couple of days so I'm there nearly every day :o Need to get a budget for the week for essentials!


    Woke up this morning with the lurgi ..... work-mates have had it so I guess it was inevitable with my non-existent immune system BUT .... could it not have hung off a couple of days?

    I'm going to a hen night tomorrow (another spendy day :o) and it's my 1st night out this year!

    Typical!

    Evening/Morning all
    It's another NSD today as I reach my 1st target for August.

    NSD 15 - extend to 20 NSD please

    All on the day I finish writing my dissertation - all done bar the final read through. At last it's done and I can't stop smiling, feeling tired or quite believe it!

    WOW, Well done Fedup - brilliant news on dissertation,:T:T and more NSD to claim too :)

    Not NSD for me, did mid week shop on budget but then found a number of Amazed internet purchases have been sent from a subscription order :eek: so in reality its a spendy. :o
    Debt -it's a fight that I'm winning, dealing with debt one day at a time.
