Drinks of choice - Chai Latte, Caramel Macchiato and Vanilla Latte. Summer - stawbs and cream mango smoothie or a chai frappachino. Christmas - ANY STARBUCKS IN A RED CUP. Love the gingerbread ones...I can't WAIT!!!

Please don't mention the red cups. Just makes my mouth water and Christmas is sooooooo far away!!!!! Already made the mistake of looking on the American site to see they already have pumpkin spice stuff

I'm not that good at baking and I'm rarely home. Always visiting mother. I think I may ask if I can start baking at hers though

Love love love the starbucks talk, my favourite is a caramel frappuccino, with cream of course, and don't mention the red cuPs, I lived on ginger bread lattes last year, I even got OH drinking them!

I'm loving your diary, keep up the good work!

Well this weekend has been a bit of a fail. I took the day off yesterday (something i very rarely do) and now i feel absolutely awful! I'm so sleepy and miserable and nothing is sinking into my brain. To top it all off i am going to have to work extra hard if i want to be paid enough to get my savings to what they need to be. I am determined not to lower the £250 i agreed to save and i can't not pay my loan!

I have scheduled a meeting after 14:00 today to discuss some work that i'll be doing in the evening so that will boost my figures. If i manage to get it finished that will be an extra 15 hours to add to my week.

I have been really slack with my finances recently. Usually i note down everything i save but just recently i haven't done that. So that will be my mission for the week. Get back on top of my spreadsheet and keep it updated! I get paid on Wednesday at 18:00 and have about £25 in my purse so i am going to try not to spend any more money than that. Should be do-able. And it will mean that i don't have to worry about my sheet as i have the money in cash and only log what is taken from the bank


... Since writing this i have been to sainsbugs, bought birthday cards, milk and lunch so i now have £15 to last these next two days. I shouldn't have to spend anything today and will try and hold off on diesel until i'm paid.


... Someone please get me a Starbucks!

Thank you for your support missymoo. I will be excited to see what everyone's first red cup drink is

Today is payday so i have transferred my £150 straight over. I only have £100 to find now before the 2nd October which should be very do-able.

My issue now is that next month i will need to find £800. £200 extra for my new tyres that i am very desperate for and £100 extra to pay off the CC....... Next month is going to be a struggle.

Next month will work out, crimson. You have focus, you have desire, you have positivity and you have 100s of DFWs as personal cheerleaders! You will find the extra pennies because you will focus and move towards them. You can do it!!! :T:T:T

Morning all.

So, last night i went and got my 2 new tyres so thats that paid for. Paid out of my normal every day spending account. Then this morning my sister paid me back £400 she owed me Very happy about that so thats us square now.

My dad found out he needs something doing to his car which will cost £400 so i'm going to pay that for him. I have £1000 in an ISA, the interest rates are going down in november so i'm going to take £500 from that to sort his car and move the other £500 to a better ISA.

Pay day today so i'll no doubt update again once i've sorted that out

So, i checked my bank this morning. Thanks to 2 of my lovely sisters (and some hard work from me) i now have £1000 in my bank. £500 will come out tomorrow but this means i am a whole month ahead of where i need to be I won't have to panic now if anything crops up out of the blue

As you can see i am very happy. Tomorrow i will be £244.43 less in debt and will have £250 in my savings account.

I am trying so hard to get my life in order!


My next mission is to convince mother to let me keep a dog at her house. That way i can take it for walks and hopefully shift some weight.

Do you drink Soya out of choice? Does it taste good? I'm tempted to try it cause apparently it's easier to digest..... what do you recommend?

Thanks for heading over. Sorry for the bombardment of questions lol x
