I'm OK - just a bit fed up really. And starving - but I am determined not to take another penny out of the bank (I am trying to make £8.01 last one working week - its only day two and already I am huffy!)

Just need to retrain my brain. If I hadnt been so naughty before I wouldnt have to be so strict now!

Morning all!

Hi EB69 - hope today is better for you.

Well, I was very naughty last night and ordered a take-away using a portion of my overdraft. I know I should feel guilty etc but I don't. On the other hand that saying 'necessity is the mother of invention' is oh so true.

Finally managed to stir myself and take in bits needed to make hot drinks at work as the free drinks machine churns out stuff I can no longer handle. On Saturday I made a large pot of soup, divided and froze portions and had one at work yesterday. Today I'll be eating the remainder of the takeaway (I always split it) for lunch.

I seem to get a bit more 'creative' in making my money stretch even when I use the overdraft. Fortunately I've managed to reduce that from £500 to £200 and am hoping to reduce it further to £150 next October. That depends on the effects of the Government's financial jigging on my wage packet though.

Payday tomorrow :T:T

Not thinking about how little I will have left until then :cool:

Have a good day everyone.

Evening all,

Hope everyone has had ok days. Phone Company finally got back to me and have given me 6 months free line rental and £30 to say sorry for the disgracefull customer service i receieved. (not nearly good enough but means I will have an extra £13 a month to go towards something else for a few months! They also owe me £60 which they assure me will go into my bank some point this week. Hopefully this means I will now Pay Next off by next month wahoo! - this will mean another 50 to go towards something else probably one of OH's smaller CC so feeling a lot more optimistic today

poorbabe - really fancy a takeaway thanks now lol
