Learning to live on a lower budget

  • Today is gardening day, I am so glad its not as hot as yesterday as I burn really easily, there will be a few tip runs today.

    I went weekly shopping last night and I only spent £19.45 as I still have too much to use up, but the freezer is starting to go down a bit. Need to keep using things up to get some space left so I can bulk buy and get into a routine.

    I had a good bit of news yesterday the over time has earned me more than I thought and extra £400 so once I have double checked that they have paid me correctly that will go straight into my debt busting. Right off for a big breakfast got so much to do today :)
