Made a wee extra payment of £57.97 today to my Grocery CC so that this starts with a zero balance in August.
Need to do better with the spending on this CC as did go a bit crazy again, eating out a lot things like that.

Fantastic start to new diary Dolly and super impressed with survey moneys (not the doing it in work bit
)
We have been to Rome and Las Vegas and sure you will love both. We also love cruises. Not done the world one but my mum and stepdad did a few years ago. My husband reluctant to spend 3 months away from home though which is as long as it takes with P and O. I think I would miss my daughters and granddaughter too much too so we think we may do it in separate legs over a few years after I retire in December.
I have found the answer to not stockpiling stuff or getting sucked into bulk buying. Everything has a place in our house (I am a bit OCD re tidiness and knowing where things are) so I really don't have space to hoard stuff. I also know immediately when running low on particular things.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.
