    Day off today, cleaned the house ready for mums arrival. Had my music lesson, then bestie arrived and we took Duncan for a walk.
    Mum
    arrived tonight, she just popped by for a cuppa and to check out the house as she had a long drive down. She loves the house & has met Donna. Her dog got a bit grumpy at Duncan, who kept nagging him to play, but all good. She's headed back to the hotel now & is spending the day with me tomorrow.

    Just back from a fab girls night with two good friends . Mostly paid for by vouchers but spend 16 to settle the final bill and 12 on a taxi. So worth it. We talked about God and the world, body image, failing health, misery and death. But the also the good things in life. It was invigorating, reassuring and just good for the soul.
    See you tomorrow
    DEBT 02/25: total £6100 Debt free date 12/25
  • NSD today including taking my lunch and dinner to work as I knew I!!!8217;d be a bit later than usual and thought better safe than sorry. I was right! And avoided getting something out of the vending machine as I didn!!!8217;t want to wreck my NSD. That!!!8217;s at least £6 saved just today I probably would have just spent before joining here. Really pleased!

  • My heart is pounding after making a £2,240 payment to clear the rest of the CC bill. I cant stop smiling. We now owe just £649 to a finance agreement. Thats it! This month we will be trying to scrimp even more than we already have. Even to the point that Im using a warm flannel to wipe my childrens faces after meals instead of 1000 baby wipes. Ive realised its actually much nicer for them whilst saving money at the same time.

    Hope you all have a great day x
    I am now debt free:T - 20/03/18. Whatever your situation - just.keep.going!

    Well done debtfree :)

    (Glad the flannel is working, we've got reusable cloth wipes to go with our reusable nappies for when ULO arrives - I don't want to be spending out on packets of wipes either!)
