Wow well done NYD - you're doing so well!

Well done on prioritising paying your bills Dolly Rocker - is there anyway you can make any of those events any cheaper?

I always seem to agree to things and then realise I don't have the money to do all of them

To be honest I think I might be able to cancel one night altogether.

Its gonna be tight this month.

Sold some ebay stuff so when that money comes through that will give me a bit extra.

Just cant wait to have a little bit extra each month.

On a happier note tho I cleared 1 of my credit cards this month!!!

Yayyyyyyyyyyy 2 more to go.

Dolly Rocker that is amazing!! If you do have to cancel - just think of how you have paid off that card. Well done you.

It will all be worth it when all your money is your own again. I know how hard it can be though when you feel like you can't do things.

Fingers crossed the ebay money comes through soon for you.

So, I'm very late updating this month....
1) Pay off all my debt Now sub 4K, could be a bit lower but have been a bit lax with eating out and takeaways
2) Save £8000 towards a house deposit Now £1850 saved
3) Exercise twice a week going well. I found a fantastic fitness app called Zombies, Run! and I'm addicted so getting out running most mornings now.
4) Tone up my tummy (don't need to lose weight as such but everything's a bit less firm than it used to be and I'd like to change this) Okay so I weighed myself and had to admit that I had put on weight and that I need to start paying a bit more attention to what I eat as well (damm you middle age).
5) Pass the next module on my course halfway through writing assignment, I will finish and submit this weekend as Mr working so can have a study day
6) Make more of an effort to socialise event and pub with a bunch of friends at the weekend and had other friends over to stay at the end of May
7) Have a holiday no further forward
