    Evening all,

    Hope you have all had a good day. Today seems to have flown by :) another NSD notched up so not far off target now. Also should be a NSD tomorrow. I can't believe I have got through a full month and abit without a failed Direct Debit or robbing from one bill to pay another...I will make this work one day :D
  • You're doing well :) How's your leg, any better?

    Morning DITR :). Thank you.

    Yeah the leg is healing well, bruising and swelling gone and just waiting for it to heal fully so i can stop having to cover with dressing. I hope you are well .

    Well done for that ^
    That in itself is stressful enough from month to month without thinking about debt levels!

    well done FFD (luckily you're a Dan and not a Sam)

    that's a great achievement - I have't bounced for a while, but I do an awful lot of paddling under the water most months
    I think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
    Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
    Smiling and waving and looking so fine

    I am getting there slowly :), I think in a few months it will just feel like the norm, I get paid next week and I have a fair chunk left with not a lot left to cater for so hopefully a debt over payment :). I think I have learned a lot in such a short space of time but wanna be 6 months in to feel the real benefit

    haha there have been a lot of !!!!!! moments!! I do feel a little more calm that i am in control, still got to get to grips with spending diaries although i am managed to curb the pointless spending. Our spends on food have gone up slighty as we now have to give child a gluten free diet so we are just adjusting to this :)

    Evening All,

    Hope everyone has had a lovely day.

    Today as been a LSD rather than a NSD day but only 70p haha, been a busy one in work again which i don't mind too much. Other than that not really much movement debt wise but also not going up so thats always a positive. Nice relaxing evening tonight as no early alarm in the morning :) so will catch up on diaries and also look at what figures are looking like for month end

    Evening All,

    What a rainy day :(

    Back on the night shift yay! Really feeling it today though as was up at 7am and not managed to get any more sleep so come 7am 2morro i will defo be ready. Thursday was a NSD, but today as not been. Although i am in quite an unusual situation that we have only a week til payday and i have plenty left and not counting down the days.

    Have to look at the food / shopping budget as this as gone up considering my DD dietary needs now so that will need to be factored in, all in all though doing quite well.

    Hope you all have a fab weekend

    Hi Everyone,

    Hope you have all had a fab weekend, mine as been a relaxed one.

    Saturday - Not a NSD as had to pick up a few bits of shopping whilst the lil one was in her drama club, spent a lot of the day catching up on sleep from the night shift, but then watched boxing and had a few drinks

    Sunday - Today has been a very lazy day! just spent it watching rubbish on tv haha, but it has been a NSD so can't grumble. We were going to go out for lunch but decided to give it a miss.

    Overall a chilled weekend catching up on sleep and just relaxing. Debt wise I have not made any progress just yet but payday next week so can make more payments and looking at the budget I can have 3 debts cleared (including mum :T) by end of August so that's looking promising, just waiting now til payday..
