It seems all credit card payments are going out Monday.

Spends
£8 prescription
£7.30 Tesco

Did see some very nice sun glasses at £35. But thought it was too much. But they were lovely and I need some. But need some cheaper than that.

Early night tonight and clean bathroom and hoover.

Poor_Single_lady

I must have a frugal weekend. I just must. I must.

Going to London and need some flowers and maybe drink for friends birthday. Not sure if I can get away with not going- he is so caring and kind that I should really turn up for his birthday but would rather give it a miss if possible.

Will see what happens.
Too many friends and not enough money.

Food Top up shop Monday.

You are sounding in control. I like that you are still having a life and buying things some might see as luxuries but you are still doing well on the debt. Nice balance. Well done. Keep going.

Poor_Single_lady

Thank you both. I'm not sure I feel all that in control but being picky on what social things to go to suits me much better. Nothing till Saturday now. I think I could get a bit bored!

Spends
Foods £14
Not all essential - chocolate, crisps, biscuits, grapes and cake
Plus bread, butter, orange juice, chicken.

If i couldn't have nice things to eat I would just want to give up. Especially when it's a struggle which it feels right now but at least all payments are up to date- only 2 left to go this month. Plus 1 direct debit.

Half way to £50 in populous
£13 to go on opiniom
1700 left on yougov

Going to do some cooking and cleaning this week as well as some baths. Keep busy and low spendings. Early nights.
Then try not to go mad spending at the weekend.

Thrown out loads of worn out clothes recently so at some point the wardrobe will need some attention but trying not to think about that and hope primarni will do when the time comes.

Also next year would really love a new telly. But not a priority right now.

No Spends Today

Need to have more days like this.

Need milk, carrots and peas tomorrow but meals are planned. Then no evening plans.
A bit of social next week.

Would love so many things right now. Just need to focus and get through to April and then reassess. Trying to be :A but it does not come naturally.
