    On a serious note.....

    I always have a "Weekly List" mostly to do with money saving. I wear contact lenses so I try to have 3/4 contact lens free days. I try to have 4/5 no spend days (NSD). I put on my click thrus and of my to do's and I try to stick to it. My goal is 100% but I only reached it one week but normally I get over 70%.

    I put myself on a weekly budget, £5 a week and have a small treat ie a cup of coffee at a cafe or a sandwich at the weekends so I save all of my NSD days for that and I really look forward to it. Think of low cost treats you can have once a week and promise yourself you'll have them if you don't spend anything.

    Unfortunately you have to plan for everything ie home made lunch or an umbrella to stop you from using the car or going into a cafe to warm because you are soaked!

    Best of luck. being debt free is possible I am living proof of it!
    I am full of joy, abundance, wealth and love.
    I am a money magnet. Money comes easily and frequently.
