Update: Another NSD for me 3/3! I am currently eating the lunch I made at brought from home! I won't be leaving the building as SuperDrug is just over the road and one thing I love to buy is make-up!
Going running again this evening, and then followed by an eBay session! I need to boost my income somehow... I do need to get back into doing the mystery shopping too!
I paid £1 to tesco credit card today it was extra in my bank account from quidco, "every little helps"Total debt to pay: £14,071.41/ Remaining debt: £12,884.12: Amount Paid: £1,187.29

I am doing good thanks. Stressing myself out about debt but just wanting it gone so I can move on. Its just a reminder of an idiot I have been with my ex. Sooner gone better

I'm exactly the same and loads of remaining debts of mine are due to ex's too, all we can do is learn from it. The debt will be paid off eventually just think positively that you realised now before it got worse xTotal debt to pay: £14,071.41/ Remaining debt: £12,884.12: Amount Paid: £1,187.29

Hi Laura, 3 NSDs - well done! I've managed 2, had a crap day at work so called for wine on the way home. No gym, not a no spend day, and wine.....I must try harder!
Have u been running? It's so cold and dark, I'm in my jamas watching crap tv with my wine feeling sorry for myself :0(0 -

Don't feel so bad wine sounds lovely to me right now but I'm also in my pyjamas nice and cosy watching tv! Didn't run today it was raining so popped over my friends for dinner so still managed a NSD
I will have a look at that if I end up in SuperDrug hopefully I will restrain myself from it thoughI'm doing ok so far.

Hey again!
I'm getting good with this updating diary stuff!
NSD 4/4 - and today has been a tough one as have been asked to put In to a collection for somebody's birthday and I feel mean not doing it but I literally don't have the money!
I know in advance that tomorrow won't be a NSD as I need to top up the diesel in my car before i drive to see the OH tomorrow for the weekend, but I am proud of 4 NSD's!
Still no smokingeating loads of fruit instead - better for my health but probably not better for my teeth - lucky I have my dental plan ha ha!
No running tonight off to visit my lovely niece and nephew!
Also one week tomorrow till payday - so having a sensible weekend and 4 more NSD's next week could mean I have funds left over to make an overpayment to tesco yay :)cheque for £50.50 will be cleared tomorrow so will be back to upate my diary and signature

Hi Laura, it sure is a relief but in a really weird way, this debt busting lark does provide a good focus and a buzz so I miss that (how weird does that sound!) and am trying to turn that same obsession in to savings now (but not getting carried away, like you I always need reminding to have a life and live for the day a bit too!)
Tell me - when you talk about making a small payment to your credit card, like even less than £1.. do you actually make the payment to it? Or just put the money to one side for it? I kept wondering this when seeing it on other threads too cos I always wanted to do this to ensure the money was going to the right place but wasn't sure if the credit card company would want so many tiny payments all the time? Am I being dumb? xxDebt Free 08/08/2014 :beer:
