    Managed another no spend day Monday j
    Went and did a bit of a top up shop yesterday-spent £27.33, but that includes a tenner on my savings card towards the December shop. I have £40 on the card up to press-hoping to get it up to £200. I tend to put £10 a week on it when I remember.
    Only spending cash ( as opposed to card) at the supermarket is working really well. I give my purchases a lot more thought.

    Hoping for a no spend day today, can't guarantee it though...depends what comes up.
    I've had so much unplanned expense this month. :eek: so I'm pleasantly...amazed I have managed to pay so much off the mortgage and add so much to emergency savings. :j

    Ok, I have a small issue..but it's big to me.
    My freezer has a couple of drawers and 4 shelves. My problem is that because the shelves are open shelves with no drawers or anything. This means it has to be strategically filled so that nothing falls out-this is great until I need to get something out of the freezer...I am at a loss as to how to solve the problem. If anyone has any suggestions they will be gratefully received. Many thanks in advance. :)

    Well done on all the payments tattycath :T

    Could you get a couple of plastic boxes to put on your freezer shelves and then put everything in them? You could pull the box out like a drawer then.

    Thanks jwil, I will have to look round for some.
    Yes, I'm really pleased with my achievements so far this month. :j
    My savings are growing well and I'm optimistic I will smash my savings target and be ready to set a larger one before the year is out.
    I'm not sure if I will achieve my mortgage overpayment target yet. It means I will have to find an extra £2400 in 3 months. :eek:

    Yes, I'm cautiously optomistic. Need to hunt out more stuff to add to my listings on the bay. I hope the sales continue. It cuts my clutter and pays more off the mortgage. :)

    Not a happy bunny tonight. I can't get into my e.mails and I've forgotten the password to another account I need to sort out. :o
    Hopefully I can sort them both out in the morning.
    I have managed another no spend day today! 3/16 so far. :j

    Busy day today. Lots to do and so little time!
    I need to split myself in at least 4 to get lots of things done. No financials to report.
