    Had a great day swimming and then playing on the garden today.... haven't spent a small fortune and we still all had fun - it can be done!! Had a missed call while we were out and when I tried to ring them back the number couldn't be recognised - which always unnerves me but I am sure they'll ring back!! Hope ypu have all had a nice bank holiday xxx

    Back at work today.... had to fill the car with petrol due to travelling a bit to meetings and god it felt really good paying for it with money I had for it... sounds stupid but nearly shed a tear!! Hope it keeps full for another couple of weeks :o) took my own lunch so saved money that way too.... got an email off freemans saying they'd accepted the plan and one from next saying the same... still quite anxious about what will arrive from lloyds and moneyway.... xx

    Another letter off my other capital one card today saying they accept the amount... first payment goes out tomorrow so that feels like a relief that its finally started.. can't wait to login online and see the first payment gone xx
  • Its so good you are getting everything organised. Glad to read all the creditors accepting the plan. Well done on everything that you have achieved. Its really good already. xxx

  • Thanks poor_single_lady... still got a long long way to go and some creditors to agree but I've made a start!!

    Logged into my shiny new bank account this morning and expected my statement to show the first payment to sc had gone out but it hasn't!! Not sure if they take this at end of the dah or what so I have sent them a message to ask... don't want the first payments going astray!! Xxx
  • Well made a start on a few bits for xmas today as xmas doesn't come cheap... going to order some things next months too and do it bit by bit and then I'm not in a mad panic, also thought I'd start with my argos 3 for 2 lists for when that comes on... this year will be the first year I am using money I have instead of online catalogues and the such like... bit scary but I will do it!!!! Had a good shop in Aldi today, planned wisely and took my list and came to £54 so I was pleased... getting hair done tomorrow and then I am planning spending very little all week unless its on bread that we need!! Hope you're all having a nice weekend xxx
  • My first NSD yesterday and I feel pretty good.... hoping not to spend anything today either!!! Xx
  • Hi Tiggerlou,

    Sounds like you're heading in the right direction.

    Well done on the NSD :)
