Keeping At It

Got yesterday's list done, apart from the food shopping. Found a shop near to where I'm going anyway which should sell the more obscure ingredients I'm looking for. (Trying to stick to the Thai diet, felt so much more healthy when on it!)
Not much else to report on the moneysaving front. I'd be ebaying like crazy if I could, but did this last year and don't actually have anything left to sell!
Just focusing on the money detox at the moment and getting into cooking at home. I love to eat out and looking back at previous bank statements I can say that this is where a lot of my money goes.

Urgh, really bad nights sleep for the first time in ages. Having work related anxiety dreams (I go back tomorrow). I'll do some studying today, maybe that will help shift it. Have had an awful cough ever since I got back from holiday. I think that running everyday is a bit much at the moment so I'll give it a miss today. Will take the dog for a longer walk instead.
Moneysaving activity for the day:
Buy lunch/dinner stuff for work the next 3 days. Eating rubbish and spending money on food at work was a problem last year that I hope not to revisit...
Now. I must do at least 2 hours studying!

Hello!
Hope all is well in moneysaving land....
I am trying to live as quietly as possible until next pay day. It is the only way! Used all my wages to pay down my credit card. I have started paying my rent on my credit card for the cash back, so will need to pay my rent on it again, so it's not really paid completely off!
On the plus side, OH has come back from Thailand with fire in his belly and a desire to do something good with his life. He is working hard and says he will pay me £250, £450, £250, £250 over the next 4 weeks. It does not begin to cover what I have spent out on his behalf but I am pleased that he is trying. And it will pay off our rent this month. So, in four weeks time, we can start saving
It won't hurt me to keep my head down for a bit, need to do a lot of studying for this masters.
