  • someone said that to me yesterday and I nearly slapped them until I realised that it was true! :p

    :eek::eek: ((DUCKS))
  • Thought I'd do an end of month round up so I know where we are for August.

    Total debt (not including the OD) is: £12190.00, this will reduce by approx £400 once the Tax fine has been paid, so August Total Debt should be £11790.00

    I'm wanting to hit on or just below £11K by the new year.

    Survey money:

    PA: £15.15 - £2.67 pending
    OP: £26.45 (need £13.55 to cash out)
    VO: £2.25 (need £8.25 for another voucher)

    What have I learnt in July?
    Never leave your CC unattended :eek:
    You can do this, even on the worst of days
    £10 goes a lot further than you think :)
    Meal planning is a godsend, if you stick with it.

    Total spent out of my daily allowance is 83p, which give me £1.17 to roll over.

    Aiming for a NSD today, should be doable.

    Reading another book too, classed as decluttering as I charity shop them once I've finished reading them.

    Need to think how I can get rid of the £790 by the end of the year! :) - If my spreadsheet is correct we will do this no problem and more, fingers crossed

  • I know I'm posting a lot at the moment, just need to get my head around things.

    PA has built up a bit more today.

    Lunch made for tomorrow.

    LAD this evening too
  • Pinch, punch, 1st of the month :D Happy August and I can officially start on my goals.

    Lunch is done for today, although I think I did mention that last night.

    Bank account checked, usual payments have come out. Need to keep a close check on this especially as we've the holidays.

    Had a LA night, aiming to have two AFD's this week.

    Dinner tonight is fajitas, chicken is in the fridge ready.

    Going to be busy at work today but should be able to get some surveys done.

    Nothing as yet, I'm going to ring the agency this afternoon, although judging by the silence, I presume I haven't got it.
