:rotfl: should get under £10k by the end of the week from bank account reward and pay from 2nd job.

Yesterday was a NSD . Me and OH made up a meal plan and a list so will pop to the supermarket after work. Still to clean the flat, definitely need to do this tonight. Best get moving, might have to dig the car out this morning

Just realised I've been an idiot and not budgeted anything for petrol . I'll use whatever I get from 2nd job on Friday to go towards this and hopefully the electricity bill won't be as high as what I've got saved.

Spent £26.41 in the supermarket today and transferred £15 deposit for the hen night. Flat is finally clean

Today was a NSD other than a few direct debits leaving my account. Paid off £2.57 to the debt.

Electricity bill is through and is £174.53. I've got £200 saved for it so £25.47 can go towards petrol for the month.

NSD 2 today . My weekend away to Edinburgh with the girls has been cancelled due to the weather really disappointed but we're hopefully rescheduling for April. Going to spend a relaxing weekend with OH instead.

Tomorrow will be a spendy day as I need to pay rent and the electricity bill. I also need to buy a new phone as I dropped mine earlier today and the screen is smashed :mad: so that will probably be my emergency fund wiped out. Ah well at least it's not adding the debt.

Forgot to say in last post I got paid £40.32 from 2nd job today so £40 for petrol and paid the 32p to the debt along with £3 bank account reward.

I'm going to pay the electricity bill tomorrow. I plan to pay the £5.47 to the debt to take it to under £10k and that will leave £60 for petrol.

Well done on smashing through another barrier.

Thanks INOD

Yesterday I paid the rent and electricity bill. I also spent £90 on a new phone, £1 on milk and £1 on washing up liquid.

Budgets so far this month are
£27.41/£150 food
£1/£20 cleaning/toilet rolls
£0/£60 petrol
£15/£150 social

I'm meeting a friend for lunch today but have plenty in the social budget to cover. Then I'm going into work to cover the late shift as there's a bug going round at the moment.

I discovered that one of my tyres had a puncture yesterday :mad: so took it up to the garage. Got there just before closing and they're shut today so won't get the car back until tomorrow. Not sure yet how much it will cost but there's £150 saved in the car fund so that will cover it. Annoyed that I've had to dip into the emergency fund and car fund when I've barely started them but I guess that's what they are there for and at least I don't have to put anything onto a credit card.

Spent £13.80 on lunch yesterday and £4 on a bus ticket to work.
