    Just a quick update , lots of new diaries appearing and reading them makes you realise how far you have come .

    2 NSD so far hoping for 4 this week. Not much happening on debt busting front , hoping to do an overpayment at some point this month.

    I've been feeling like an MSE oldie with the number of new diaries popping up - makes you realise that you've actually stuck with it for a good while when you realise you've got one of the 'established' diaries that were there when we started! :T
    Trying to figure out a whole new life. Trying to figure out a whole new budget.
    Divorcing, unclear on final debt total right now, but focusing on building a financial buffer zone.

    Today another NSD 4 this week.

    Have taken the plunge and got the decorator round , he is doing my hall stairs and landing in the next coupe of weeks . I have been saving any money left over from my shopping/petrol account for decorating . I have got £114 , hoping this will be enough for the decorating and another couple of small jobs.

    Not much to say really , very quiet weekend . Shopping was £20.77 in Mr A and £6.80 in Mr S . Petrol £40.80 will last 2 weeks as no long journey planned.

    Having a quiet couple of weeks as still want to be close by for mum., who I must say is getting better all the time.
    I am out next Saturday day with friend , hoping to go to a NT property. Lunch will be bought but will be out of budget.

    Have been getting ready for decorator , been to the tip with old bookcase. Plan on buying a new one out of EF as other was falling apart.
    I will be making an overpayment when money from PA lands in account. My journey is definitely a marathon , but I am better off than I have been in years.

    Hi Cumbria Lass

    You were kind enough to post on my diary so I thought I would follow yours.

    Well done on your debt busting :j

    Thanks Plain Jane for reading thus far. In some ways it keeps me accountable to myself and other readers by keep posting regularly as I have targets for myself.

    Sometimes it may be very boring to other readers !

    Anyway had a desperate need for crisps and chocolate this afternoon , so 85p spent . Naughty me .
