The Second Coming - CAFCGirls Debt Diary

CAFCGirl

Hi All.
Thanks for the messages. Work were really good and I got my new bonus cheque in the post at work this morning which is super! So I paid it in today to avoid any further problems!

Doing well with my spending diary as well, Have been filling it in very religiously!I already think I know what I'm gonna find out at the end of it. How long would you say to write in it before sitting down and really analysing it? 2 weeks? A month?

Also managed to get the boyfriend to pay for food and entertainment this weekend, whereas normally I crumble and offer to pay. Too generous for my own good there.

Will also be re-attempting meal planning yet again!!!Off to the OS board to read up!

Ah ha meal plan complete and shopping bought...

£30 inc delivery and a few little treats.... yay! That should cover 14 dinners and breakfast. Lunches will hopefully be left overs or a tinned goodie from the stockpile!

Last item sold on Ebay from this lot, so thats another 99p to add to the pot!

Well done on doing the meal plan and you have reminded me that I have not done mine yet.

Can't be bothered to go and rummage through the cupboards yet so will make a note to myself to do so tomorrow and post on the OS board then.

I hope you have a yummy week!!

In danger of over-frequent posting on own thread but just had to share...

After doing my tesco shop online, I've just checked Quidco and they've given me £5, how lovely!

Didnt even think I'd get anything, so theres £40 now sitting Quidco waiting to payout

Good day all!

By order of The Management ( you know who you are) I'm making a concise effort up to update the Second Coming more often...

So today I've had a letter from Abbey in regard to my credit card... only to discover that they have now increased my credit limit to £2,000 and sent me a load of credit card cheques, for use by oct 2007 and anything i use them for will be 0% till May 2008....

I never knew they loved me so much! Cheeky wee beggars. And all because I paid off my card and now they're trying to throw money at me. It's tempting.................. but more amusing then anything else!!!

As of today I am only £4k indebted to my mum, woohoo! Well in loan money terms

I've had my tesco order, £30, and I'm pretty pleased with it.
I've typed out my meal plan, so its printed and waiting for sticking to the fridge.
And now I'm off in search of inspiration

To those who are there, through it all

Reaching out, looking for some way to escape the crowd
You whispered words that I've been searching for
Somehow you answered my call
Reaching out I feel I'm rising up

You give me grace
In a world that doesn't sleep at all
You give me grace
It's a place I've never been before
You give me grace
And in all of the confusion you're the peace in my soul
That's why I will never really be alone

Suddenly, I'm up on the surface now where I can see
And picture the person who I need to be
And I know, yes I know I can make it
See me now, I'm slowly rising up

Well yeah, these are difficult times
These are difficult days
But I know we can face it
Ours are difficult lives
In a difficult place
Oh you give me grace to say when I got it wrong
The grace and the will to carry on
Reaching out I feel I'm rising up

You give me grace
In a world that doesn't sleep at all
You give me grace
It's a place I've never been before
You give me grace
And in all of the confusion you're the peace in my soul
That's why I will never really be alone

Thanks Everyone xx
