Can I do this?

Cantfindafreeuserid

So I have been spending again! I know I know but I needed clothes so went on a hunt round the charity shops :-)

I have put another 2 50p's and 2 20p's in my relevant jars and have £1.15 to put in my loose change jar :-)

Totals so far

20p's £1.80
50p's £6.00
Loose change pot £2.17

Over the next few days I should be making payments to debts and trying to pay extra payments. Although I still need to tax the car and find the electric and gas bill money! :eek:

Hey ho onwards and upwards :-)

I am feeling very frustrated today! I am desperate to move house and get planting a veg patch but there is no move in sight so I have decided to do what I can in tubs and planters.

I have seed potatoes ready to chit this should save me some money come harvest time. I have lots of seeds that I plan on starting off this week. My problem now is I really want a potting shed and greenhouse to make it all easier and more fruitful! I can't afford either and what's the point if I am going to move? The problem with the whole moving thing is I have been waiting a year already and nothing has come up yet. I have packed as much as I can ready and now feel completely frustrated! My life is in boxes and seems to have been on hold forever! I hate this time of year because this is when I start thinking about what I can grow etc and I am stuck :-( still never mind not alot I can do about it really!

Must keep praying!

Ok have bitten the bullet and rung EDF and sorted payment plans for the bills oops fingers crossed one will be paid in 3 months and the other 6 and it won't happen again?!

I won 40p on the jackpot joy free games yesterday not huge I know but it all adds up :-)

I put some more loose change, 20p's and 50p's away the other day as reflected in my signature.

Now I am off to over pay a credit card bill :-)

Cantfindafreeuserid

Overpayment made and signature updated :-)

Cantfindafreeuserid

It would probably help if I put how much! Overpayment to Aqua of £5.59

Just got my latest swagbucks payout another £5 for amazon :-) Must try harder with swagbucks need to cash out again but have slacked for a few days oops!

So another 60p in 20p's and £2 in 50p's put away in their relevant pots. Another £2.18 in the loose change jar. Signature all updated and I must say it is so nice seeing it build knowing I have survived January without having to raid my pots or use my credit card! Still not quite sure how I have managed it but so grateful to everyone here and their challenges because without them I don't think it would have happened!

Now I am waiting on money going in my bank tomorrow to start paying more debts

On a plus note though I have managed to pay £140 off my debt in January and I have managed to start saving with my bank I have over £50 and that is unheard of for me! Also my 20p's, 50p's and loose change is up to £17.76 :T I am trying to pay debts and save and it is hard because I keep thinking I could use that £50 to pay some more debt BUT I know I need to build up my saving too as I have nothing to fall back on and I must get a nest egg going! I suppose I just have to decide when my nest egg is big enough and then channel into my debt.

I must go and make some more 1% charts to date I have managed a whole 1! I need to make them and finish my files because I am sure I have lost track of my over payments and 1%'s so this afternoon is about tidying up and finishing my files and updating them all! If I loose my way I know I will give up and I really can't afford to do that as seeing it in black and white motivates me!

Keep going peeps we can do it!

Ok back to the drawing board! I have managed another 1% chart (still need to fill it in) but I quit! Tomorrow I will spend some money and buy graph paper! My eyes can't cope and either can my hands I have a condition called Ehlers Danlos Syndrome type 3 and find writing and holding pen/pencil for periods of time painful hence why I had only got 1 done before! I just cant force myself through the discomfort and pain so tomorrow I make my life much easier and spend some pennies! This way I should be able to do them all tomorrow night even if hey don't all get filled out!

I will conquor my debts!

I love that for the first time ever I have some savings yipee all be it a drop in the ocean but they are there and they are growing :-)

I hope your keeping well and making good progress x
