I am literally having so many NSD's at the moment, its miserable as I am not doing anything apart from working all week, but I allow my self to do some stuff over the weekend but just as cheaply as possible. In 36 months time, I can spend whatever I like I will be debt free!Total debt to pay: £14,071.41/ Remaining debt: £12,884.12: Amount Paid: £1,187.29

Hi Laura, hope your doing ok. I have not been on for a few days but have just read your last few entries. You are doing so well with your nsd's well done, keep going, it will be worth it. I am thinking of applying for voluntary redundancy, I have until April so job hunting as we speak, but not guaranteed to get vd depends in weather they think I am in a post that is no longer needed lol we will see x
Have a good week at work and fingers crossed for you in the car front x0 -

Hey Maryland Cookie, I have a lovely weekend... It wasn't a No spend weekend, but got away with spending only £10 - Went to Harvester with the OH but had a 20% discount voucher, I know its not exactly money saving but its a fraction of what I used to spend.
The car is working now which is a bonus!! ha ha, i have sent all proof off to my credit card company... I am just waiting now to hear back.

Hi Smiles123,
Good luck with the job hunting!!Go for voluntary redundancy if that is really what you want, you never know if they may be happy to or not unless you try! Thank you for following my diary!!

iHey Mrsmac, welcome!! You have come to the right place, the amount of support you get on here is amazing!
Thank you:) It is nice to know, because for me although I have changed a lot of things it is so easy for me to forget that and feel like I am not really making much progress.
Staying positive is key, because that is where I have gone wrong so many times before and fallen off the wagon.
Good luck on your journey, I am looking forward to seeing your journey too

Hi Laura and everyone else following, great to "see" so many new faces. This really is the place for support and encouragement.
Mrsmac I'm hoping Laura's positivity rubs off on me too :0) x x x0 -
I am more than willing to share my positivity with you all! I need to claw my way back after my car repairs but I know I will get it paid off and will become free of the debt!
I get paid Thursday and this is one of the first ever months I have finished up with money left! Of course it will be going to debt but it is such a nice feeling!!!!
Need to stick some bits on eBay!I'm off to Tenerife on Sunday! Don't worry I didn't pay anything it's birthday/Xmas present from OH's mum ... Really need this break! Also means a whole 7 days of not using my bank account money because I already have euros sorted!
