Still at it. Find best way to avoid spending is to stay home. No hardship as fridge and freezer are full and lovely family here.
Jobs done. Even made 2 Christmas cakes ready.
Feel organised.
Just briefly am in control! It won't last , never does.

Let me know how YNAB goes for you CCL. I am a bit of a YNAB geek as you know doesn't take long once it's set up but maybe a month or so to get all of your categories right etc. I used it for a month then ' made a fresh start '. X

Morning all. My input:

Eating from stores so only £15 on some fresh stuff for the week, but also included a whole chicken which has gone in the freezer.

NSD today as only doing decorating, and I am doing that from left over paint from other rooms (although I do need to purchase another tin of gloss tomorrow).

* Just opened wardrobe to find rail had fallen down again. Will go to ironmonger for new fitting. Hopefully will get one for about £2 to save needing a new wardrobe. I fixed it about 6 months ago using the old fitting, but that has now died a death.

Hurrah, managed to find a fitting for £4.99. It's a bit more than I wanted to pay but it's cheaper than a new wardrobe.

Well,
I'm back here to report in again. Plus I've done my tutoring, visited my mam, caught up with bestie and got the kids to earn their pocket money... So reasonably productive.
Thanks for the offer of help LaE and Speky too. I've set up a new budget so we'll see how we go with it. I just find it a faff updating everything and soon lose track so I need to make a real effort. Bonus today is that I've had a nsd apart from petrol which was planned...
Just about to start with crochet. So we'll call today a success I think.

Legomum nice evasion tactics

Today I will:
Carry on decorating using the left over paint

Make chilli for tea from mince reduced to £1.50

Have a great day everyone.
