  • Morning foxgloves and friends

    I have just added up my spends on food and petrol and like you overspent on the food budget - but by £50!  I did set myself a tight budget (clearly) and i do include cat food in the budget.  The cat food my cats like has gone up 50p a box for 12 sachets which is some serious inflation.  I will need to update my budget to be a bit more realistic.  I have underspent the petrol budget but will leave that as it is as i start to go back into the office a bit more often (boo). 

    Well done on finding a nightshirt - how many did you buy ?

    love Deni

    Good news about the pay increases, @jadewest94. Every little helps with the serious business of debt busting. I even used to save  20ps in a tube & when I got £10 worth, I'd bank them & pay a tenner off the debt. It all adds up, & your debt figure will start with a '2' before much longer.

    Oh that's a good idea! I have money had and I know it has at least £50 in there but I'm going to keep saving spare pennies in there and cash it in nearer Christmas :smile:
