Happy Christmas diary
We're having a fab day here The kids are very happy with everything they got, no ridiculously expensive stuff (luckily none of them wanted any) and the youngest as usual was more interested in the boxes
And so begins 365 days of Christmas shopping I love shopping in the sales!
Back to work for me tomorrow, at least I always get this day off
Hope everyone reading is having a good Christmas Day :xmastree:

Good evening diary
Raided the Boxing Day sales today (love next!) and managed to spend about £100 :eek: but that did include a new £80 watch for DH birthday.
Jumped on the wifi fat, turns out I've put some weight on and now weigh 14st 11lb so have given myself a new challenge alongside my debt busting
Would be nice to hit 12st something again
Night diary!

Hello diary
Works been hard for the last couple of days at least next month I have a week off
Just need to get through the next 3 weeks and then I'll be off :j
At least I get New Year's Day off. Means I can enjoy New Year's Eve with the family.
Bring on 2017, I'm itching to make headway with this debt

Happy new year diary
Well I totalled up debts for the end of the year (and this isn't including the car as I'm still unsure on the total)

CC1 £900 (0% till Jan 2018)
CC2 £705 (0% till March 2017)

Total amount owed £1,605

Should be easy to make headway with this part of the debt :j
I'm off to sleep now, can't believe it's the beginning of a new year already :eek:
Night diary and happy new year to anyone reading this

Hello diary
Well the new year is now a couple of days old and I've been reasonably good with money so far.
Was going to take the kids to the local play place on New Year's Day while DH recovered from his hangover, but one of the kids wasn't well so that saved us a few quid.
Then yesterday we were going to go out for dinner (would have cost us about £60) as we haven't been to our favourite restaurant in ages. The kids had helped themselves to some toast just before 12 so that ruled out going out for a big dinner at that point, so thought about McDs but ended up spending £6 or so on some desserts in the local supermarket and having sausage and mash from all the Christmas leftover spuds. Very MSE :rotfl:
Kids back to school from tomorrow so no more splashing out in them as back to work again
Need to do loads of housework today and start getting uniforms sorted

Good evening diary
Managed to stock up on cheap food today so we're going to try and eat the contents of the freezer and cupboards for January, so should be a cheap month for shopping.
Still need to concentrate on the money saving. We're about 2/3 of the way towards clearing the car debt.
Can't wait to celebrate being debt free :j
