    Hi teafor2
    Found you through choccys diary

    Hope you don't mind me joining in with the chart making
    I already have one I do crossing out but this year I might do colouring

    Good luck in this coming year
    Hx
    Emergency fund £10,000
    Several categories with savings in
    Cars, house maintenance, birthdays
    Etc I have about 10 categories

    Really happy to be debt free after being a compulsive spender
  • I think a lot of issues around the world would be sorted if everyone just coloured :rotfl: last Christmas I got a couple of colouring books from the kid's that I've not used. There's some lovely heart designs that I'm going to use just need to figure out how much of the pattern represents £100.

    Well done on remember not to use your money! Receipt hog awards spins on other spends that aren't food. It is a bit addictive, I've just hit 1008 points (£3 towards Xmas 2019)

  • Hi teafor2 - Happy New Year, I have a feeling 2019 is going to be a good one! x
    Going into 2019 owing £27, 789.94 :eek:
    £83.50 / £27, 789.94
    Paying off debt so we can buy our forever home :www:
  • your catchy diary name caught my eye and i just had to have a read, i absolutely love that song and makes me cry everytime i listen to it.

    anyhoo well done on your diary last month, i did a spending diary a few months back before everything went to pot and it was a real eye-opener. back on it for the new year though.

    i am with you on the money going to everyone else but yourself, why do we do it to ourselves. also agree about the colouring i have did it previously when i was doing the 1% challenge and there is nothing more satisfying than colouring in a suare when you pay money off

    have subscribed and look forward to reading more from you
    DEBT
    31/12/2018 = £21,740.10 - 31/12/2019 = £18,581.29 (14.53% PD)

    Morning Aaleigha - welcome aboard :) it won't be an overly exciting ride but at my age I'm happy with that :D Ooh, go on, be a devil and get the colouring pens out - I dare you :rotfl:

    Hi Choccygirl - yes I can think of quite a few people I'd happily send colouring books to who could do with keeping the peace - not all world leaders either, some closer to home :cool: Well done on hitting your first payment from RH. I'm at 309 but realised I got quite a few for just signing up and taking a survey so I think it's going to be a loooong process :D Love the button chart - I'm all for making things less mundane.

    Hello there Mum. I have a feeling 2019 is going to be good for a lot of people as well, especially on here. So many positive vibes, goodwill and kindness flying around at the moment. Long may it continue. :T

    Welcome chocolatebum, I think I may be your long lost sister only my name is chocolate face :rotfl: I have no idea why we put ourselves last but somebody at Prolific needs to get a study up and running - the results would be fascinating :D Thanks for subscribing. I'll pop along and visit you later on.

    Have a good day everybody :)

    Day 3/31, 1 NSD, Prolific £11.39 cleared, £4.97 pending, £12.50 Xmas money, £27.50 cash for 1-7th Jan.

    Don't think I need to spend anything today so hoping to be able to visit the NSD thread tonight and up my number to 2 days.

    I have some ironing to do and the bathroom could do with a clean but DD is still in bed and you can guarantee as soon as I start she'll get up and need to use it. I don't dislike cleaning but I much prefer to do it when nobody is home so I can enjoy the results for a few hours. I have no enthusiasm for cleaning around people at all.

    Hope you all have a good day :)

    Hi Wannabe, hope you're having a nice day and things seem a bit brighter today. I haven't done any ironing yet but I've just read you haven't either so that makes me feel better :p

    I also have shiny star stickers in my box which in true MSE style I shall start to use when the smiley faces have all gone :rotfl:

    No doubt I will speak to you later over at 'yours'. x
