    Well will we have snow, can't stand all the talk about it. I hate the snow but will just take it as a challenge to get to work.

    On the debt busting front , have stuck to the meal plan, had 3 NSD hoping for 5 this week. It's going to be tight to make it to payday but am determined to not use overdraft.

    Been to the gym and feel really well.

    Have done surveys , bit repetitive but have points and they make prizes. Have signed up for mystery shopping as well.

    I am persevering with the surveys getting near to £10 on one poll . Made my 5NSD this week , so pleased with myself.

    I keep reading about flylady in people's diaries , what is flylady ?

    6 days to pay day and still have money in my account, not much but no overdraft yippee.

    Till next diary time .

    Spent £5.00 yesterday on lunch at work, it was a leaving do for a colleague. In 7 days that is the total amount I gave spent. Have done shopping list for later and that won't be more than £15 as still eating out of the freezer. Do need petrol today as well and am going on a long journey tomorrow so will need more petrol in the week. Glad to say I still have the money for it all in my account. 4 days till pay day then I can start in earnest.
    The biggest thing that has helped me so far is to meal plan and a spending diary .

    My one poll surveys are accumulating money so happy with that. Hoping to list more items to sell today.

    Well shopping more than I thought £2.88 more but still ok. Petrol 32.00 and budgeted £40 . Will hopefully have enough until Wednesday pay day. Off visiting tomorrow 150 mile round trip and Sunday lunch to pay for but have the cash for this.

    I have learnt so many tips on here in the last 2 weeks , can't wait for more advise.

  • here is one

    re petrol get a nectar card

    use the card and build up points every time you use sainsburies or bp, then once you have i think its 500 points this can be converted for a voucher on ebay

    https://www.nectar.com/collecting-points/sponsors/ebay

    it works the other way too once all linked anything you buy on ebay then you will click nectar points for ebay purchases

    Oh thank you brizzledfw , bit like when I do a tickle up ! My version of flylady . Yes working full week doesn't suit me any longer, thankfully I only do a full week every 2nd week. This week is 4 days yippee.

    Had a great day visiting friends and a lovely meal.
