Poor Single Lady Debt Diary - Trying again

System

Hope you are having a good weekend PSL . Did you go any further with the DMP ?

The weather is dire here rain and more rain.

Hello All. I have contacted all the companies. Have offered reduced payments and have one default out of 6. It's ok but hard work staying in a budget.

Cumbria we have so much rain but I love it. Been waiting to wear my coats and earmuffs for ages! I found the heat so oppressive and worse for being invited to social things.


I just find it so hard going without anything. I'm going to do a food shop tommorow. Need lots of things and make lunch for the week.
I do make Soup lexielou but I like to buy it as well. Really glad it's a bank holiday tommorow.

Thats my biggest worry too....I'm currently listing items on ebay, for the sole purpose of having some money to have a life during the next 9 years.

But if you think about it all, we have been using money we didn't have to fund a lifestyle for years.

Do you have a craft that you can sell your wares on ETSY?

Spent more money today and it's just over 4 weeks to payday.
£12 more on food bill
£8 toiletries

Cooking done
No social till Saturday thankfully.
But eyebrows Wednesday and possibly lunch out Friday

Need to be more frugal.
Bring lunch in all week ex Friday
No take away till at least next week
Minimal food shopping till payday
Minimal social
Lots of films, books and early nights.

Sticking to the plan so far. Mortgage going out tomorrow.
Forgot eyebrows are next week, not this one. Quite an expensive long month.

Reached £50 pay out on survey site which is very much welcomed!
But a lot of expenses everywhere.

Thank you Dolly and Lexi.
Yes I am quite boring at the moment. Exhausted from telling people please don't invite me to things. Seeing my best friend at end of the month and got a bit planned for October.
But not going all that well to tell the truth.

This week-
Nothing in the diary till Friday. Seeing family so hopefully no spend.
Need some foundation but hoping I only have to feed myself this week with no more expenses beyond foods.
Then review at the weekend.

It's hard isn't it.

Turning into a bit of a recluse myself between the debt free and the being newly single.

We will get there in the end, just keep the focus.
