    £101 expenses are now in my account.....just waiting for £30 insurance premium credit then that's pretty much covered my CC min payment for the month...


    Bank account looking healthy....only mobile bill to go out today then that's it until after Christmas.


    Christmas budget looking ok....a few more presents to get but shouldn't need to spend too much more.



    I've got a couple of watchers on an item on eBay so should sell in the next few hours

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Lol love the title of your diary! :P
    I'm not sure what it is on here either where the first thing that gets attacked is sky tv but if you and the family get a lot of use out of it, why get rid?!
    You seem to be doing well anyway even while watching sky tv! ;) Good luck!

    TA,

    Good to see yo making progress.

    I know everyone must have told you to keep a spending diary, I cannot stress the importance of it enough. I use a free software to help me track my spending and balances. I have found the software extremely useful, I can click a button and I will know exactly where I have spent my money, what my net worth is, what the individual balances are, what the projected cashflow is (assuming you have accurately entered the bills and are happy with the estimation), how I am doing against budget etc. I am not sure if I am allowed to recommend a free software that I use but if you are interested, just drop me a PM and I will give you the name.
