Still managing not to spend on the cards, still ill.


Lying on the couch feeling sorry for myself & phoned in sick to work which I hate doing!

No spending on the cards for the last few days, have been off work sick but I am starting to feel a bit better now so hopefully the worst of it has passed.

Hiya, sorry not been on for ages. I've been away on holiday but now back and need to get on here daily for inspiration.

OH wages in so I have sorted the budget for November and now that's done I am going to remove my joint account card from my purse so I don't spend on it. Also need to withdraw personal 'spends' so I stick to a cash amount each week.

Aim for a NSD tomorrow too. Have a good week all. I hope your cold is better Dolly.

Hope you are feeling perkier Dolly Rocker!
I haven't been great with my card use, but tomorrow will withdraw my weekly amount for the first time, so let's see how it goes!
I realised that I've been spending £8 a week on cereal bars at my slimming class, so I'm thinking about going without this week! When you add it up that's £416 a year. Ouch.
And I will take lunch to work every day hopefully, to avoid being tempted in the shops.
I am hoping to conquer my silly everyday spends before looking at my online shopping problem. I think I waste more than I realise on the dvd/magazine/nail polish purchases that I instantly forget! Maybe I ought to keep a diary of what I'm actually spending my money on.
Good luck for the week everyone!

Hey my lovelies,


How are you? I am finally better woo hoo, still got a wee cough but apart from that I feel normal.


So today is the 1st November 2015, how did that happen?!?! It feels like this year has just flown by us.


I am going to lift my cash out for the week & I will not be spending on any cards at all in November 2015.


By the end of this monthI am hoping that this will have formed the habit & I will be a cash only spender!

I know me too!!

I am going to be so much better at this in the new year.

I am just losing control of the finance, so much on this month & so little funds.

Glad you are much better also.
