Definitely what Babs said - comparison = misery...
I keep thinking what some of you have said, how do you know they aren't up to their eyeballs in debt? On their maxed out overdraft/credit cards? And desperately treading water to 'keep up appearances'? You are doing a heck of a lot better than moi, I should say!
And building a foundation for a better future for you and yours. Never give up on yourself...

You wouldn't be able to live with your conscience if you did. Unfortunately, that just leaves hard graft and time to get you to your goals.

Oh well done on the sales. Ive dugout my pound shop lights and am going to drape them artistically round things to brighten the evenings up. We all need a bit of cheering up.Clearing the junk to travel light

My old mobile supplier has charged me for two months of cover as the new one (that was rubbish) didn't do their job properly!!! £36 it's cost me. I will be buying lots of reduced items this month to make up for it. I'm eating a frozen stew I made a few weeks ago with noodles. I will do a fruit shop later this week.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222

How annoying about the phone.
Do a freezer and cupboard audit, see what you have. If you get stuck for ideas, give us a list of ingredients and we can suggest things to knock up.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.1 -
That is good belt tightening thinking, thank you, I have to do better on this... "...when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains however improbable, must be the truth..."

To be honest MF there is not much in my freezer just the basics. I only ever make a roast, a curry or something with fish or egg.
I saw the signs about the new rules, I checked them and then realised we needn't worry.
It is half term in two weeks i cannot wait to chill at home. I will lesson plan and if i can, sell my brother's old cds and dvds to Mus*c Magpie. I hope i can make a few pounds.

Can you add an extra 1 or 2 items when you go shopping after next payday, start replenishing the freezer / cupboards.
The next few weeks will soon fly by, do make sure you get some rest during the holiday!Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.1 -
Keeping swimming, Swan, that grassy bank where you can rest up is in sight.... "...when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains however improbable, must be the truth..."
