Hummingbird's Progress....Well it's time she made some!

I'm feeling happy and sad at the same time. I made the decision tonight not to go away with friends next weekend.:o

Obviously I'll miss out on the fun but I need to put paying the bills and catching up with unexpected expenses first at the moment. i do feel proud of myself though, which is why I feel happy as well as sad, In the past I would have gone anyway, whether I could afford it or not, and probably borrowed in order to do so.

I've stopped worrying so much now about what other people think.........so I must have moved into a new era!:T:T

There will be other good times to look forward to. I'm going to start taking a leaf out of your book Westie and start saving my £1 and £2 coins. The next trip/special occasion will be saved up for in advance :beer:

New era indeed you are another day older and that means you are maturing...

yes do it I find it highly satisfying and I don't miss them in my purse, but I do find myself buying small items with large notes then repeating just to maximise the chances of coinage, those self service machine are like waiting for the coins to drop in a pier arcade... will it pay out £2 coins this time, I like the surprise and the anticipation

good luck my friend good luck

Thanks Westie, from reading your diary you seem to play a game I used to like to play called "change it up" where I save up enough 2ps or 5ps etc etc until I get to change them for a lovely £1 or £2!:D

Yes I do, it did get on my nerves counting the coins so I have a lovely machine that does it for me a automatic coin sorter then I just empty into a coin bag when it gets to the top of the tube, then I take them to work not they happy lol but perk of counting money everyday...

Hi hummingbird, just checking in... sounds like you are plodding along (much like me) and still determined. Springtime makes me more determined I find! And I am now addicted to seeing the debt come down - it feels so much better than spending! Onwards and upwards with the debtbusting

hummingbird

Hi snow, lovely to see you! Yes we're still plodding on - I think you're right about spring! It's such a lovely day today - puts you in such a good mood when it's sunny and gives you fresh resolve!! Will check over on your diary and see what you've been up to!:j:j

Am back in the UK, and starting my catch up on the diaries, looks like you've been busy (or very bored and chatty )

hummingbird
