    I think good idea to reduce down limits.
    As you say reduces temptation :)

    Not sure! Interesting, I have to find out :) I love cooking on Steak stones outside and all things BBQ. Inside cooking I am a bit of a lazy boy! The OH does that :j

    Well, its Rain all day on the South Cost but have managed to get through the entire Bank Holiday by spending £14 !

    So pleased, i would have done hundreds on the cards on a Bank Holiday, before I started my Debt Free Journey.

    Been a bit of a long day today but not bad.


    Been in Tesco, they have the mini box's of cereal on offer, multi pack for £ 1. I have bought 10 lots as they are great for a snack.

    Weather has been awful today and it is back out to Sea tomorrow. Looking outside it may aswell be October with all this rain and temperature. Not long until " flamin June" :rotfl:

    Had a letter from Currys through the door today trying to convince me to purchase a telly and get £10 back for every England Goal scored..........think I will give that a miss!

    I have a huge year Planner on my wall which has got my dates that each debt will be paid off. I love ticking every day off as I go. Lets me focus my mind.

    I hope you all had a good Bank Holiday........it rained down here.

    Time to go and repair some Lobster Pots.

    All the best for the Captain on the South Coast.

    Docked this afternoon with a fantastic array of Lobsters. The Sea is more like October but our little boat made it home. Loan payment gone, so new balance below.

    Cheers from the Captain on the South Coast!
