To do
Wash up ...:/
Empty out the drawers and wardrobe - hang up the stuff I love...
Think lots about the three items I want on ebay ..that total £90!!
( if I clear out some more things I could raise the money so effectively a non spend - bangs head against virtual wall a spend is still a spend lol )
Check the bankjust in case ignorance is not bliss
Sew up fav pj's in true make do and mend style...
Eat something hearty to make myself feel a little more "loved "
Send back the two impulse jumpers I brought in the sale - they are not that nice so £22 to come back ...
Take the bloomin stuff to the charity ...resist temptation to put in the bin for the environments sake.
oh yes ...Drink more coffee while I think about all of the above ..:)Grocery challenge Feb £107/£100-epic fail due to cake and biscuits

You'll get there... and re the making do and not spending, it's not forever, only til you get things sorted. Then you'll be able to buy guilt free AND feel smug for your achievement :cool:
I'm not keen on custard creams myself but did find some passable gluten free double choc chip cookies the other day, so help yourself to those with a bedtime cuppa

Hahhhaahhhaahh! No one noticed that it was I who sullied the custard creams!!!!!
Hello lovely Sam. You've managed to get so much done. Including a trip to London. We may have walked past each other while you were in London!!!!
Does it really feel like you've not paid much off when you're already 50% through your journey? You've done incredibly well. You should actually be so proud of yourself.
Take care and I hope you've been able to catch up on some sleep gorgeous girl xx0 -
Your sig says first Feb over 5000
infact it was 5250
in two months its now down to 3400 so that is an average of over 900 a month so in approx 4 months you will be debt free
and if you start to save around half that think of something you really want with five grand and come August next year you will be able to afford it
but if you want to take the longer route and treat yourself with spends on the way then why not - sometimes we need to just to ensure we keep going
really hope you are having a lovely weekend its nice and sunny here
