I think it's all about balance Laura, your right you do still have to feel like you have a life, but balance that with the debt busting, and your doing a fab job!
What did you see at the pics? I want to see Gone Girl, but OH isn't keen.
Have a great rest of the weekend x0 -
I want to see ANNABELLE! My OH is refusing to go and I asked another of our friends and he refused too! .. I might have to go by myself which would be embarrassing.. or wait for the DVD :-P (but with horror its so much better in the cinema!)- on a mission to be debt-free by the end of 2017 - :cool:

Thank you both!
We went and saw lucy it was actually quite good, didn't go on for too long either so had time for some drinks after.
I don't think I could go to the cinema alone, although if I had no one to go with maybe that would change!
Hope you both have a lovely rest of the weekend xxTotal debt to pay: £14,071.41/ Remaining debt: £12,884.12: Amount Paid: £1,187.29

Hi Laura,
Been reading your diary on and off for the last week. Massive well done for saving all the money not smoking. I think its been pivotal in debt reduction.
Keep it up!Sealed Pot Challenge:

Thank you strugglingyouth i really appreciate you taking time to read my diary!

Diary update:
So its a fresh new week, starting my NSD counting again!
The weekend was not good for NSD's if I am honest.... OH and I went out for lunch and to the cinema saturday, i bought my mums xmas present but that came out of xmas fund! The naughty thing I did was..... yesterday I went to tk maxx and bought 2 pairs of jeans and a jumper but in honesty i really did need them!!! I would be freezing this winter otherwise!!!
On a plus side I am doing 2 extra hours at work this evening which is paid, and I will be doing that every week!!!means more money in novembers pay!!
My ebay items are due to end tomorrow so I will use money from old clothes I dont wear towards new clothes I will wear!
Still a non smoker and feel so much better now xTotal debt to pay: £14,071.41/ Remaining debt: £12,884.12: Amount Paid: £1,187.29
