2018; progress from 2017 but must do better

Hi all,
I first posted on the forum at beginning of 2017 and posted a few times since then. I started with 46k debt and now I am at 30k mark. I really want to progress further and need to get my !!! further in gear so I will be checking in on the forum and posting more often.
This weekend I have been cooking from what I have in the cupboards, prepping for the week ahead as well. I let my self go a bit the past few weeks but I really want to have a big push for the rest of 2018.
I plan to; eat home pack lunches, limit any days out with friends to once a month at the most but will encourage free days. I plan to read this forum a lot and re in grain the money saving mantra into my head.
I am also going to have a clear out of my house this weekend as I have not planned any activities for the bank holiday. Anyone had any good clear outs this weekend?
I have rechecked my credit card balances and made sure they are on 0%. One expired recently but luckily I was able to get a 36 month deal. Thank goodness!
I hope everyone is well and appreciate any tips people have for navigating these forums.
Thanks
