Evening all
It was a spend day today but almost planned for. £15 on DS's school shoes, £27 on haircut, £10.30 at weight watchers meeting & £1.50 drinks because I forgot to take one with me :mad:. Managed a good hour of walking pushing DD around while delivering catalogues. Will be picking them up tomorrow so more exercise and hopefully some orders.
Tomorrow will be a SFD. Off to have my late dinner but it's all come from the freezer so all good.TOTAL DEBT £12,212.46/£2000 paid offDebt Free Goal September 2017#106 Emergency Fund £482.53/£10000 -

Could you buy them from the supermarket in advance? Asda are currently selling 6 cans for £4!0 -
Good advice siouxsie. Andrar, that's a tough one. I would probably go with the kitchen as you have to live there for a year...maybe make the savings some other way?
A spend day today. Pity but it was on fuel, so necessary and used a T@sco voucher so got it as cheap as I could, but the lunch was £3 that was a stupid mistake on my part. OK I only had 4 hours sleep last night but I should have made myself a sandwich before I raced out again this morning. Have also just ordered a load of groceries from Wait£ose, £15 off voucher used, but loads to buy. Baking for charity though so it's all in a good cause and so I should cheer up really!!!!:)MFiT-T4 Member No. 96 - 2022 is my MF goal

Oh Chickadees I am shattered so I am off to bed.. spent 75p on bread today ... might as well seeing as I had spoiled an SFD for some cra**y over-priced beans and chips (£2.50)... tomorrow will be an SFD for sure... right up at 0500 again.. I am off to bed!!“Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent.
