Tues was no spends except dentist so that was NSD 4.
Enjoyed my meeting on Wed and avoided getting a drink on the train so that was 5.
Work all day Thurs and Fri and shops avoided so that's 6&7!
Quite impressed that I had 5 NSD in a row. Tomorrow will definitely be spendy. Food shop coming in the morning and a few bits needed from various shops. Hopefully we'll manage an afternoon out with DD too so she can practice on her new bike0 -
Janus - goals for this month - finish decorating my bedroom and finish painting hall, stairs and landing and all banisters.
Activity. 3 trips to the gym so far.
Non-negotiables: still on NSD6
All budgets stuck to so far.
DS1 trip £160 paid this month. DS3 trip £240 paid this month, 2 x car insurances paid this month.
Unabashed, unambiguous, unconditional, undaunted, undivided, unerring, unshakeable devotion to your goal(s). I am seriously sticking to the budget.
Always plan your meals; . list written, most picked up already but need to Mr M tomorrow and Mr T for YS on Sunday
Reduce, re-use, repair, re-gift, recycle, recover, refuse! And read.
First book of the year finished. covered the loft hatch in hardboard and painted it so it does not look like a cut up bit of door (It wasn't me, it was like that when we bought the house) c/s bag sat by front door. Using up all the bath bombs and smellies from Xmas. My boys love a bit of glitter.
You are the key to reducing your debt, living modestly, keeping as fit and well as you can. So look after yourself - physically, spiritually, mentally and emotionally.
I am the key to improving my living environment. Everyone benefits. I feel more in control. I have a list and a plan for what I can do this month with the materials I already have, and a list for when January is over, as I am stretching myself this month, so that I won't be stretched any other month. 'Spent' some of my L0ve2sh0p ' free money' card on 75% off candles. I am burning the evidence.4/10/22One Year Mortgage Free Yay!

So sorry to hear that sashanut , big hugs
Yesterday was spendy as I was out for a friend’s birthday meal (£35), paid for my friend’s boyfriend who is a plumber to buy and fit a part to stop the dripping toilet (£20) and bought dog food to last until the end of February (£105!!!!) - I’ve put that on the credit card and will pay it off on payday.
Today I’m off to see my friend in London and her new baby. I’ll be out the house for 10 hours and it’s costing about £80 but it’ll be worth it to see them both and offer my support.LBM = 07/09/13 Debt = £13339 (100% cleared)
