    Debt-free and Proud!
    Thanks Trixibell, me too!! I cant wait for us both to be debt free...heres to us saving for the home and the dream goals:beer: Hopefully soon xX

    Well not much to report, have had lots of nsd, general frugal living, lunch brought to work..but no payments to cc2, need to hold out till payday...have really been doing nothing but working, studying and lusting after a new wardrobe and homes on rightmove...my wish list is pretty full as is my saved properties...my fave past time! I know I cant buy yet but a girl can dream, besides I figure I may as well be ready in case I have a windfall;)

    Weigh in day tomorrow, determined to be glam for Christmas even if it kills me, actually tbh the way these scales have been heading recently it just might:rotfl: I need a small case of stomach flu, or a heartbreak diet:D neither of which I have time for right now so its plan old healthy eating and exercise:)

    Anyway get me rambling on...have a nice evening guys, night x

    Happy Saturday!!

    Today I have been to the bank and then paid over the rent, stopped of to buy some cat food and pick up a paper for mumsy, am in a good mood so figured id pay it forward, No nsd for me today though. Will not be spending anything else thats for sure.

    Did have a touch already as I was digging in the cupboard for that microwave I brought, figured id sell it on ebay as its gathering dust. Mum asked what I was doing, then asked how much I wanted for it and then that she'd buy it, as the one in the kitchen is a bit rusty, so I'm £5 up with no fees and delivery costs and she gets a new microwave, winning! will add that to my £10 a day challenge total.

    Off to continue with some study and offered to make tea tonight so I think a spag bol and garlic bread will be on the menu, as have everything I need and its quick.

    My aunt brought me a bottle of wine Thursday as a thank you for an errand I ran, very sweet and unexpected, have about a glass or so left so will have a tipple tonight and watch a dvd, have some popcorn and a face mask, date night with myself:rotfl:...Ahh frugal Saturday nights I love them....
    Really hope everyone has a wonderful Saturday...no doubt ill be back later, im an MSE addict:rotfl: x
