Working towards being debt free and a new house.

This paying off debts malarkey can get addictive sometimes
I'm sure we have some extra cash so I paid an extra £200 off the credit card yesterday.
Sat down and worked it put and we have about £320 till payday.
Have taken into account clubs, fuel, direct debits and ciggys.
That money should cover all groceries and a couple of little bits I need to buy as Xmas pressies. Not sure how much my haircut will cost (about £50?) and still not sure what the plan is with this family dinner.
Am hoping to spend under a hundred quid on all Christmas gifts and I need to get a games console and an expensive hair styling thing in that budget :eek:
I've got a massive pile of loyalty vouchers to get using :j

Spending for yesterday

£3.94 on ciggys
£13.86 on groceries
£160.00 on childcare (still owe them a few quid, but paid the majority of it out of the way )

Total spend for the day = £177.80

At least the big childcare bill is nearly paid :j

Morning diary
Went out shopping for the day yesterday armed with my gift cards. Funny thing is when I have them I never seem to spend them (must be psychological thing having a card with a specific amount on it makes it harder to spend :think: )

£2.10 on groceries
£5.19 on eating out
£3.94 on ciggys
