Right well - I made the weekly goal which is awesome!

This afternoon I am walking around the house with a box looking for things to sell on eBay, music magpie, gumtree etc

After this I plan to budget my meals for the week and make a monthly budget for March.

Wish me luck.....

:ARight well this week's goal is to use up the contents of the fridge, freezer and cupboards. No food shop for me this week eek!

milk I will pop out and get today but other than that I am going to try and use everything I have here.

I am going to make fairy cakes for e kids today, banana bread for breakfast tomorrow and hubby's lunch box snack. I am also going to make two loaves of bread from scratch. Busy afternoon for me this afternoon!:A

Bread rolls and banana bread turned out well yesterday.

Up to 33% of debt 1 paid off.... This weeks target is 40%.

Hope to do this by....not spending any money, extra work and eBay sales.
So I have £350 to go by Sunday...eek!

Fingers crossed I can get there

well you win some and you lose some. Not quite going to reach the 40% today but that is ok. I cancelled some extra work to spend quality time with my mum - I'm glad I did. I need to take time to relax and enjoy sometimes.

my husband has been amazing - he's so financially clued up and where as I avoid the confrontation he is happy to complain on the phone, write letters and get money back - where as I will let things go (wrong I know!).

Anyway - i have my strong points too!
I am comping and couponing to save some money and quite enjoying ti at the moment too. Think it will be a nice little hobby when the new baby is born and I'm stuck in the house breastfeeding!

Woohoo I made my goal...at 9:30pm on a Sunday....pay has cleared in my bank account and £250 has been moved over to pay off some if debt 1.

All good but finding paying off debt stressful and all consuming. Can't seem to think of anything else at the moment. I have now given up tumbling clothes and the dishwasher...every penny counts! X
