Plodding is always good.
& really 13 months will go so quickly~~I am much older than you though :rotfl:

Thanks for your support MT, Rosa, Beanielou and Orange Ena. :A I know it will work. All of you are proof of that In RL I am known for my impatience and I really want to improve on that so I can enjoy my debt free journey. You are all right of course 13 months is not long And yes Orange Ena I will be beyond my self next Christmas So my plan going forward is to keep on keeping on. I will keep plodding

On a positive note pay day tomorrow. :T There are expensive purchases this month starting with my cashmere cardigan (30% off but still expensive) and including an event that will cost me £40 for the ticket alone that I got talked into at Easter. Lesson learnt and I am now more confident in saying NO THANK YOU straight away

I am going to try and offset my additional purchases by skipping my Ocad0 online shop and A&C delivery altogether. I will be trying to stick to a £25 a week budget. For me that is extremely tight but should be possible if I stick to Lid1 and Ald1 and yellow stickers food. This takes more energy or will give me more exercise (to look at it more positively)

I will keep on doing stuff on the house so I can see small improvements, until I can make bigger changes when I am debt free.

November has been a tough month, but I have made it!

Off to pack some food for tomorrow’s lunch

Hey DIA,

I'm sorry to see you've been having a tough time recently, hope you've turned a corner good to see you spending some time doing creative things, it always helps cheer me up! You've been so focused and continue to be, sometimes you need to take a little time out for you, so great to see you spending time with friends and treating yourself

The next 13 months will pass in no time and you've already proved you can surprise yourself with making great progress with your household jobs you've got this in the bag. I'm off to read up on what all this bullet journaling is about.

Congratulations on your impending nuptials

Yesterday I was exhausted so I went to bed at 9.30pm and slept brilliantly. I WFH today, I had eggs for breakfast. I cooked some nice soup and some chicken, lentils and veggies.

I wanted ‘treats’ as I haven’t had chocolate for 2 days. I resisted as I am on the NSD challenge. I have 12 days now and need 15

I am off to a concert tomorrow with a friend. My new cardigan came on time. I will be wearing it over an existing dress that I have never worn because the arms are too bare. I’ll add thick tights and there I am ready to go

I am on my new tiny food/travel/pocket money budget so I want the food I have to last as long as possible. So, I am going to be meal planning like crazy in my fab new bullet journal

The new plan is £50 for pocket money/food and travel. A travel pass is £25 for the week but I can get this down to £15 some weeks with lots of walking. I am withdraw the next £50 on December 2nd…:)

My BIG DEBT has been attacked again and I am now comfortably in the £15,000s and the new balance is £15,327.00 Signature updated :T:T

I am in tonight but I will have my day out tomorrow so I am ok with Strictly and a pot of tea (that makes me sound 102, ah well…)

Have an enjoyable Saturday night

Thanks DIA well done on getting in the 15's - your progress and focus is so inspiring, I'm so looking forward to getting tips and motivation from you as I tighten my budget your plans sound lovely, good work on avoiding the chocolate - it's tough when you really want a treat! Great focus on racking up another NSD
