NSK- yep am serious. I pay 3100 a year site fees which covers basic maintainance and water bills. gas is currently 62 a bottle-i use about 4 a year. electricity coqats 5 a month summer and 20 a month winter. I own my caravan outright, well am still paying dad back for it. it def works out cheaper than renting for me-esp with how low utilities are.
on another note i am declaring 1/15 sfd.Credit card respend 2551.58 (15/02/17)0 -
Just checking in for the day. Came up to bed an hour ago to have an early night but had to catch up on posts!
SFD number 2. I am finding the combination of dieting and trying to get SFD quite good. I didn't go to the shop for chocolate as didn't want to lose a SFD and then didn't snack at home because of the diet
Exercise session number 3 done, although if 30 minutes of exercise is one session, technically I did 4 sessions yesterday
Took lunch to work. Didn't have any bread today, or a topping for salad, so had a yoghurt, a pack of raspberries and a pack of crisps. They are starting to question my random lunches at work now.

Ah phooey! I had to wreck the SFD as needed to get something DH forgot! Doh!
Still I have two which isn't too shabby!
Tonight was meat free Monday so we had sweet potato and cauliflower curry and it was YUM, the remains are for my tea before work on Wednesday.
Did half an hour of pilates earlier, plan to do it whenever I can as it's really helping!Squirrelling away in September No 33It's not about the money, it's about financial freedom, being in control of it and living in the natural world and not a material world0 -
Yay, a 2nd NSD! Mind you, I have half of Ald1 on my shopping list for tomorrow.... :-(
I also did my first exercise in a scarily long time. Only 8500 steps, but many were brisk(ish) & I hope the "every little helps" applies to that too.
We have also now finished the Christmas food stockpile, so am going to need to shop a bit more. Oh well. ;-)"Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." William Morris0 -
Evening all. SFD 2 for me today. Lunch to work, but no exercise today. Nothing much to report when I haven't spent any money!
Have a good Tuesday everyone!0 -
SFD number 2 today.
Had a really busy day doing mystery shopping but it's earned me nearly £30.
I was hoping to make some bread and get some cleaning up done but I thought I'd do all the domestic stuff tomorrow instead. I've got all the food for the week so will have porridge with fruit on for breakfast, homemade soup and bread for lunch and something out the freezer for dinner.
Hoping for a couple more SFD's this week.
I seem to stay on track when I start the month without spending anything.

Not doing too well on the SFD front, but progress elsewhere - saw the Starbucks voucher on Bespoke Offers and didn't buy it. Might be a good deal but it's still £5 I don't have, to spend on coffee trips I don't need. Bought a tub of hot chocolate for just over £1 on offer at T's instead, will have many very very cheap hot drinks at home!New graduate trying to get debt-free.

Evening all,

When you look and sound like the living dead :rotfl: so spent £7.88 feel awful but still walked home took 60mins so will definitely blitz the exercise part of this task :j Anyway off to bed see if I look and feel any better Tom I really do hope so goodnight:j

Evening all, just checking in for today and yesterday as I didn't get a chance to update.
We had a roast chicken yesterday for tea. It was free range but a bit disappointing really. It was £4.99 from Aldi and it weighed 1.5kg. For £4.79 I could have bought one that was 2kg but I opted for the ethical bird. Anyway, it basically meant that there wasn't much left over but because I am doing the challenge and I don't like waste at the best of times, I stripped it bare of any meat at all by getting down and dirty and getting my fingers greasy. I made a sandwich for lunch with this, used some more to have with pasta and a left-over half jar of tomato and chilli pasta sauce that was lurking in the fridge. I put the rest of the carcass and an onion, carrot and a bit of bendy celery in the slow cooker overnight with a couple of litres of water and I have the most delicious smelling clear stock for some soup tomorrow. I'll use up the rest of the chicken meat in that as well as a couple of potatoes, the last carrot and the remainder of the bendy celery.
I have been out for a couple of runs as well so I'm off the mark on the exercise.

Hi all
Unfortunately its been a spend day today but on the upside completed exercise by walking home from work (3 miles), managed to take my lunch to work and de-cluttered another bag of stuff.
A couple of weeks ago i applied for a work uniform tax rebate for OH, today he received a check for £45.15 and a letter informing him that his tax code has changed so will receive repayment of £33.95 :money: sometimes its worth shaking a branch to see what falls out.
