Hi Fishface...glad to see you back again.Sorry that you had to come off the diet..what a shame...is the low blood pressure definitely due to the diet?...as Hypno says your health has to come first.I was just thinking of starting it again but if your blood pressure was to do with that I won't bother.
Like Hypno says once you've got all your herbs and spices you'll not have to buy anymore for ages...and once you've stocked your cupboards and fridge freezer..that should last you ages..so I wouldn't worry about the spends.

Thanks both! It probably isnt that expensive but feels like it when you havent had to shop for ages! Just done some more cooing & fridge & freezer now full so that will keep me going for a while & as you say health comes first! How you both doing?

well, steps towards being debt free have been fairly small, but the total owing is coming down gradually, so that has to be a good thing! I am very positive for September though!!

Aww thanks hypno! Just Bt to a 0% on my morgan stanley card so thats good! Other CC's both on low rates so at leat interest is minimal! Just need to get the hang of the food & clothes budget! Going down dress sizes quickly was NOT good for the budget! Hopefully will be Ok for a while - manage with clothes I have until winter which I hope will coincide with going down a size! Food is very healthy and havent touched crisps or pizza which are danger foods!

you will soon get the hang of the new budgets - you have done so before, and you can do so again!!

At least you have got the debt on low APRs - sadly much of mine is in the 20% region, and I can't seem to get a better deal anywhere :mad: although I have found out that this is because of an incorrect entry on my credit file which I am in the process of attempting to remove!

I hope you have a good day! I have a very large marrow that was given to me that needs stuffing......ooh er missus!!

Alas NOT a good DFW week but in general terms not too bad...the CC took a bit of a bashing but a temp one as I should get some babysitting next week & am on call again next weekend so that will pay that back. Must get back o track though...still need a few winterish clothes but managed to get quite a bit from M&S today ...undies, jeans x 2, top & work trousers for under 100. Problem with loosing weight so quickly is I have NO clothes for winter but hopefully now will have enough to last a while but I need jumpers but can get that with the remainder of my Debs vouchers coutesy of one account when they cocked my mort up. Also got 10 for a comment I made on a poll so that will do my boots stuff for a while! Had a blissful day today..mum, cousin & I had a spa day which was paid for by my mum and it was sheer heaven! Rasul mud therapy, facial & indial head massage, sauna, jucuzzi, steam & chilling. Gorgeous food & company followed by cost effectve shopping with home to my home made bread, salad & salmon mousse! Yummy! Am off to be now and will spend the rest of the month being a GOOD DFW!
