Diary Update:

So I did not manage a NSD yesterday as a once off my OH was working in Weymouth which is about 25 miles from mine so I went and stayed with him in the hotel for the evening, he paid for dinner which was lovely.... so I thought it only fair to buy us a drink each!
Also bought myself breakfast this morning which I know is naughty but it is not a regular thing.

I have managed to sell a gillet of mine i stupidly bought years ago for £45 from Jane Norman and have literally never ever worn it, on Ebay for £10. It is more money into my pocket for something I will never wear. I am putting that in my debt account to put towards the next payment to my debts.

I am supposed to have a work get together tomorrow, and I really am in two minds whether to go... it will be a good laugh but I am thinking of the money aspect to be honest and I could do with keeping that in my pocket towards my debts.

On a plus side.... I have just claimed a £10 boots voucher from valued opinions surveys.... it is going into my Christmas Fund!!! I am planning to get as many vouchers as possible, so I do not have to use my money.

Time to find some more things to stick on Ebay now:)

Levi-

You are doing the right thing by still allowing yourself to enjoy life and have the odd treat so don't feel bad, especially when it is things with the OH - that is one thing I always allow myself to enjoy because those times are very meaningful and important to the big picture more than money is tbh!
I'm trying to do the vouchers thing too and anything else I can claim free and give as pressies heh heh .. feels weird to be doing christmas in a cheapskate way but I keep reminding myself that when all the wrapping paper is all over the floor and the moment of brief excitement is over, nobody really thinks about whether you spent a fortune or a fiver on them.. and its back to normality in the blink of an eye..! So as long as someone has something to open that is something you know they will like, we don't need to go mad this year as it will be worth it in the long run xx Love.. Levi.. x

thanks levi!

all of that is so true!!! I am popping to meet my friend this evening who i havent seen for months so will treat myself to one drink as i am driving!! so not an expensive trip!
