Its that time of the month, when every who gets paid monthly balances are going down. I get paid weekly and today so far spent nearly 300 pounds, 200 pounds on the lovely dentist - not as painful today and 100 pounds on tickets for ABC in November, will get 50 back off my gig buddy. Always wanted to see them so happy but broke bunny.

Off out for a few drinks and a meal Wethers tonight. No biting for me today but hey ho can still drink. To be honest, would love a night in but catching up with some ex work buddies.

Took some jeggings back this morning so got a refund off them, fiver back off Quidco as well.

Have a lovely weekend and Happy St Davids day to you all. May go and walk around castle as free here on Sunday. ;-)

October Hope you had a fun night out and things go well for you today.

Well I am popping in on my diary, no debt reduction so to speak. Paid dentist and for gig tickets but nothing off my cc debt. Not going to loose any sleep about it, can't pay more than fixed payment amounts this month.

So glad its the weekend, dog walk, cook tea, then couch potato with wine and watch Stella. Nice to stay in sometimes as it is really blustery day here now. No school run to do today so no rushing about.

Got a ten pounds loyalty voucher from M & Co in the post. Quidco owes me 11.00 so things looking up ever so slightly.

Have a great weekend, will continue my garage decluttering x

My friend cancelled but it is all good as I have a stinking cold anyway and a flat full of chores to do. Not to mention no money to spare.


Well done on the extras. OH and I are going to invest £25 on Grouupon for 5 cinema tickets. Figured it is a nice way for us to spend time together and not cost too much.


Hope your garage decluttering went well.

Just a quick check in. 30.00 off my cards today.:j Would have been more but hair needs a cut so off this afternoon and tomorrow. Lovely long weekend but with no money:(

October - cinema nice relaxing night out. My local one is only a fiver, went last night, the films are few weeks behind release date but not paying cineworld prices unless its bargain Tuesday.

Just trying to keep my head above water this month.

Have a lovely weekend folks :beer:

Wow! I wish we had a local little cinema. We only have the big names one which is why we went with the offer. Like a big kid I want to go and see Home. We are planning on going next week


Keep at it and I hope you have a good weekend.

Hi October, haven't gone anywhere just quietly sat on the naughty step wondering how I managed to run up spends on a credit card.?

Feeling motivated I will smash this debt and change my ways this week.:money:

Action plan
1. Stop eating sugary things - may have more energy then/ lose weight?
2. Set aside money for my recent credit card spends and clear it. Do not use it again. EVER !!!!!!!!!!
3. More exercise, hopefully sort out annoying corn thing (granny feet now)- more money
4, Budget more realistic.

Not that exciting a weekend, booked my train tickets for London in May looking forward to a mini break. Got my hair cut, hairdresser loves cutting it as it goes into a mass of curls like magic when cut, so curly top again. Should go more often last time was before xmas.

Besides that haven't really bought any food, trying to use up freezer. Determined this time, to get it defrosted by weekend, then got a 12 pounds off Sainsburys 60 shop so will do a big shop then. Need to buy a fridge thermometer will look around this week for one as no convinced it it working properly.

This weekend cut grass - spring arrived?, bagged clothes up for charity shop, stripped the dyson down and cleared it of all the junk stopping it working properly. Cleaned house - for toddler to come again all week and re dirty it.

Mothers day was bit weird I was really upset all morning, wishing my nephews still had their mum (my sister) about. Eldest daughter and rugrat appeared in afternoon, lovely flowers and card. Youngest daughter posted a pic of me looking fairly decent on facebook(not the usual 80's afro hair ball look) with her as a baby, she was in Amsterdam celebrating her 25th bday - meeting up with her tonight. May need trip to lidls for wine on way home, only left with mulled wine in wine rack.:eek: Can always drink that as well :rotfl:

Glad you are ok. Don't worry too much about the spends. You'll clear it in no time. I'm trying to motivate myself into a diet and exercise lifestyle. Not working so far.

Have a good time tomorrow. Mother's Day sounds like it was a bit of a mixed bag for you. I feel bad as I wasn't with mine this year.

Well today paid off 45.00 off credit cards. Total now 5355.00

Will hopefully clear other card I naughtily ran up by next month so not including in total- paid 50.00 off that today.

Playing colouring in squares today - paid 10% off Jan debt 5940 and paid 594 so far this year. Except for London trip it would have been more. Love this square idea, however gave it to me on here its ace, just pushes you a bit more.
Updated my signature, more motivated than I have been all month now.

Was going to go up Snowdon on Sunday with a friend on train, half price but just chatted to Steff(off tv programme) still snow on top our plan was to walk up rest of way and catch train down but it doesn't work like that. Going to wait for Summer and walk it all then. My feet hate the cold and really don't fancy 2 hrs sat on the train.

October -can't always be with kiddies on Mothers day don't feel bad. My other one arrived last night, more flowers and chocolates yum yum. So much for keeping off sweet things.

Better do some work oops. Catch you later.
