misstara's debt diary 2014

£56.55 spent in the supermarket today, way more than I'd hoped for. OH was with me though, I think it's always more expensive if we do the food shop together

Dd always costs when she shops with me.

NSD 8/20 yesterday, definitely need more of these esp with spending so much of the grocery budget already.

Ran home from work, just a 30 min run but it really helped clear my head. Work is horrendously busy at the moment and in the past of couple days I feel like I've barely made a dent in my to-do list.

Just been to the doctors so I've got an appointment next week with the nurse to get my bloods taken. I've also got a 2 week prescription for stronger painkillers to tide me over until my dental appointment.

Have you tried applying clove oil to the painful area?

No I haven't. The tooth itself is not actually particularly sore, just very sensitive. The pain is more along my jaw line, would clove oil still help for this?

NSD 9/20 yesterday . Work still incredibly busy so really just worked, went home, ate and then went to bed.

Payday from 2nd job - £88.69
- £30 electricity bill
- £30 weekend away
- £20 dentist
- £8.69 debt

OH gave me back £10 yesterday so emergency fund is now sitting at a massive £50

Not sure about the clove oil but I'd still give it a try in the hope it would reduce the need for painkillers. They tend to do unpleasant things to my tummy.

Thanks INOD, I got some on Monday. Can't say I've noticed a difference so far but worth a go. Thankfully the painkillers aren't affecting my stomach.

Just realised I haven't posted for 5 days although there's not much to report. Still snowed under at work, still have toothache, still tired OH is being fab and putting up with my general grumpiness. On a more positive note, I've achieved some more NSDs

Went for a run with my friend on Wed evening which was lovely as haven't seen her for a few weeks. Definitely need to invest in some winter running gear as I got a bit cold and some bits were quite dark so could do with a head torch.

NSD on Wed which takes me to 12/20 . Yesterday I spent £12.51 in the supermarket, needed coffee, teabags and a bulb for the sitting room lamp.

Payday from 2nd job - £42.21

Just realised I haven't posted for 5 days again, oops. Work continues to be super busy but getting a bit more help so manageable

Saturday
A day off work, went for a run and to the supermarket. Now can't mind how much I spent but I'm now over budget for food

Sunday
Work, did a short shift for 2nd job so should get around £30 on Friday. NSD 14/20

Monday
Dentist after work and spent £11.12, root canal treatment is booked for Friday :eek: I also spent £3.20 on milk and ys bread.

Yesterday
NSD 15/20 and I went for a run with my friend.

Today
I've made a £3.11 payment to the debt . Hoping for NSD 16/20. I've arranged to pop round to see a friend after work but not feeling the best right now so will see how I feel.
