I want to stop drowning

debtaghh

Morning,

First thing is I'm officially on a diet, I've managed to put on half a stone in 3 weeks!!!! No more excuses, I will lose weight and I will save money!

Aim by end of March:

-Lose half a stone that I have put on therefore be what I was when I lost lost the weight over a year ago.

- have £3000 in savings

- cc debt to be under £45k

No pressure for me there!

Morning,

I did well yesterday and stuck to my reduced calories and had a nsd! Today will be different as I need to go food shopping and am meeting a friend. My dh did some unexpected overtime yesterday so that will be £40 extra in March or April's pay. His work is getting busier so I think there may be more overtime opportunities which will be good financially.

Have a lovely frugal day.

I would suggest that you seriously take a step back since you are drowning in debt. Just reassess your life man. Your situation is worse than what mine was a few years ago

Unhelpful. This forum is for support and judgement. debtaggh is fully aware of her situation and is trying to get on top of it. You need to read the whole thread to see the journey she is on.

Good news about the overtime. Enjoy your time with your friend.

Another good day on the calorie front and I also did lots of steps ( over 20000).
I spent £100 on the food shop but stocked up on washing up liquid, hand soap etc. My aim is £350 for a month's shop. I'm still writing down every penny I spend.

Well done on all those steps . The comment above is very silly , just ignore , it's your journey and no one else's . The food shop is good for 5 of you .

Life feels very manic at the min!

Dh has been given unexpected overtime which is great financially. I have had some unexpected larger value sales. It all adds up!
