  • Yay, my 200th post!

    Well today I am working towards my debt freeness by:

    1. Only eating home cooked food.
    2. Working on my budget and trying to shave a bit more off.
    3. Considering a spend free days challenge.

    That really it for today, not much else to add.
    Debt as of March 2018, £794 rent arrears £4273.7 debt, £900.70 in pay day loans, total £5968.40 :eek:. Total debt today £5968.40

  • Hi everyone,
    Bob - that final week before payday is the longest and why is it that something always happens to gobble up any 'extra' money. Ziggy - glad to hear you're feeling better. And Foxgloves, just reading your posts makes me feel tired, you seem to achieve so much in each day. SS - I have been reading my meters more often and submitting to my energy provider, it does give me a better handle on my bills. I've only been doing every 2/3 weeks and I haven't been keeping my own record thoughv- maybe I should start doing this too? And hello to everyone else, my small list for today:

    All meals from stores
    Would have been a NSD but put into a collection for a colleague who is leaving (there have been loads of collections this month, not very MSE)
    No heating on, feeling a bit chilly though
    Chicken out of the freezer for tomorrow's tea
    Checked bank
    Checked postcode lottery and birthday bingo

    Usual list and not had time to do much else as I was at a training course after work until teatime.

    Just relaxing on the settee with my DD, she has a terrible cough (OK during the day and then at nighttime she really suffers), so she's struggling to go to sleep at the moment. Then when she does, she wakes. Poor little thing.

    Oh well, weekend starts tomorrow! See you all then :)
