Notes
This is all looking good for the moment, I always try to stash away money every month to pay for things that are coming up. Always best to plan ahead (way ahead sometimes) to make sure we have enough to enjoy ourselves later.
Debt payment on 1 July 2017, I have added another £7.74 to this amount just by rounding down the figures in mine & DH bank accounts. As of today still to find £1282.26 for this payment, most of this will come from the normal bills fund but I know that not all of it will so this is why I am trying to add to that amount when I can.
Going to weigh this lardy a$$ tomorrow & get back to my healthyness - cancelled my WW app to save £6.95 per month & downloaded My Fitness Pal, calorie counting for me!

Going to start paying for daily expenses with cash, feel like paying with card doesn't feel like real money!
Have £30.00 cash in my purse today, lets see how long I can make it last.

I've been doing the same with cash. I have a little spreadsheet especially for what is in my purse - I hate watching that balance go down and tracking it has really helped me not buy something we don't truly need. Cash does feel much more like real money than a debit card...0

Nothing like handing over cold hard cash to make you think do I really need this?!?!
Still got my £25.00, will need to pop to the shops in a bit just for some fruit & water - new healthy me starts today!
