Off work tomorrow so updating my totals today.
Paid 119.00 off Grand total now stands at 5256.00 still colouring in squares 12% of this years debt gone and very nearly 60% of my total debt smashed.

Can't spend any money at all now all weekend. Wasting money on silly things lately so thought if I haven't got it - can't spend it.

Have a good weekend guys, so tired need a day to catch up. Looking forward to a lovely long weekend off.

Well thought I would keep checking in. I need to get back on track just seem to be borrowing from one pot to another at the moment. Roof tile slipped down as well, may try being flirty with one of my neighbours (roofer by trade) still have to find some cash for him.

Had a lovely weekend, Eclipse walked up local hill and some of my dog walker mates there with Champagne and Strawberries, lovely start to the day off. Then all went down hill from then, appliances not working, phone froze, annoying friend descended on me for the evening. She's alright in very small doses.

Saturday spent too much needed comfy shoes ( 2 pairs oops) and had lunch out. Did fence painting and cast iron garden furniture covered in hammerite paint or was that me? Trellis put back up (thanks to 80yr old friend) Managed to get a suntan well strap marks and burnt arm. Night out cheap one, local pub and reggae band.
Sunday 8 mile walk, my 12yr old dog managed well she is more fit than me, lot was uphill.
Got heaps of food in monthly shop done with 12 pound off 60 pounds voucher, so only veg needed now.
Going to be tough on my myself now, spent far too much lately. need to clear my Capital one card put so much on it, train tickets, concert tickets, fuel, shoes and food. Going to be cleared hopefully by end of April. Only use it for fuel/ food if broke towards end of the month. What was I thinking?

Feel better for confessing my naughtiness and now will attempt to rectify the situation.

Hey Calling


Sorry I haven't been around. Don't feel too bad, we all need to splurge every now and then. You are more aware of it now though so at least you aren't going totally mad with your spending.


You are doing really well and you will get there. I laughed when you mentioned about your annoying friend. I have one of those. I feel obliged to see her every now and then. She means well and wants to do loads of things with me but omg is she annoying. She knows more about everything than you do and is better at everything. Gets really frustrating.


Hope you have a lovely weekend. Any plans?


October xx

October, nice to see your back. So glad its not just me with an annoying friend. The worst is she eats out loads, posts pics of every meal on facebook, when I am feeling down due to lack of cash.

This weekend, well tonight going to a real ale festival and driving!!!!!!!!! Not good but I like live music bit too much so will survive, good local lads playing I know. Can't afford a drinking binge anyway. Will dress warm marquee on the Quay could be a bit chilly.

Rest of weekend no plans, going to carry on decluttering garage, using up paint here and there. Hopefully little spends at all. Will plan long dog walk with friends one day, daughter and grandson gone to CBbeebies land so a whole weekend to please myself.

Will see what else I can list on ebay, good news my jumpsuit(what was I thinking of when I bought it 80's fancy dress?Sheena Easton) is selling on ebay. Not that get a lot after fees. Got 1.20 back from Quidco today and my daughter is going to tf 70.00 she owes to me after work.

Found 2 dresses in my wardrobe this morning never worn so that's work clothes sorted for the near future.

Looking forward to 2 whole days off, been a busy week in work.

Have a great weekend guys and no spending !!!!!!!!!!

Must have been the biggest spender on Friday night's Real Ale Festival 2.50.:T

Decided to post here everyday and waffle on as I am serious 'out of control' lately. Just totalled up my latest credit card bill- one I usually clear each month. Stuggling to clear that this month. Going to try my damn hardest tho.:mad:

I now have London, Thriller Theatre tickets, Fleetwood Mac to look forward to in May, Justin Currie(Del Amitri fame) in June and ABC in November, Have to live a little.:beer:

Saturday - spent nothing, long hilly walk in wind. My dog struggled up hill, quiet warm. - Pity pigged out later otherwise would help towards weight loss. Productive day got lots done around house.

Sunday - bit cabin fever day. Did a walk with dog but she was poorly sick so came home, perhaps overdone it with her day before. She will be 13 in July, we both are not puppies anymore. Better by evening walk perked up. Spent 3.50 on a cardy online - M & CO sale 25% off plus had a 10 pound voucher to use by end of April.

Have to control my eating, bored, alone too much lately pig out. Even thought of going to Slimming World this week as I need to be bullied into losing weight. May get my daughter to pop over once a week and shout at me when get on scales. Hate the thought of paying each week for class.

Paid off 150 today off this damn credit card, rest hopefully by Thursday. Then will live off food in freezer next month.:eek:

Have to buy my annoying friend a bday present. Something cheap that looks expensive? Got wine she can have to go with whatever I find.

Listed a jacket on ebay I was given, too big for moi. Will list a dress later as well.

Have a good Monday, enjoying peace in the office, both bosses out:rotfl:

Yesterday ended up buying a vacuum mine had lasted 10 yrs just given up the ghost, was going to buy parts for it but the plastic casing (Dyson) had cracked so a lovely 95.00 spent. With a Border Collie I need a decent one, bought a vax kicking myself now didn't do it earlier in the week as there was an offer on this site grr,

Stopped crying now, gained 8.00 on ebay after fees today and 6.98 123 act Santander. Just going to have to make my money stretch further in April.

Staying in tonight so will save a tenner. Who wants to go out in hail and 70mph winds? Kermit onesie, catch up with Mr Selfridge and wine.
