Thank you clearmydebts, hopefully we will both lose a bit of weight in the coming weeks.
Not had any chocolate or bread today and drank plently of water. Need to get my SW books back out and follow the plan again.
Today has been a NSD.My first in a few days. Tomorrow I need to buy fuel, planning on no more spending this week until I do my weekly shop on Sunday.
Cashed in £5.00 today from a receip app, when it hits paypal it will go straight to the overpayment account.Next - £2229.44 - 29/09/20190 -
Good morning,
Yesterday was a spend day but not on fuel, collection in work for a birthday present. Will need to get fuel if I have to travel today for work.
Overpayment pot stands at £183.50, will make an overpayment to Argos on Saturday. When I sit down and work out next months budget, will have my payslip on Friday, will then get paid on Monday.
Have £60.00 to put into the Credit Union which I am using as my Emergancy Fund account. Also opened a Starling account which allows me to have pots that I can allocate funds to, this is where I have my overpayment pots, along with a car maintenance, Christmas and holidays.
Have a good day all.Next - £2229.44 - 29/09/20190
