    Only one more payment to card 4 - go you!  Great progress, and good that you will then be able to make at least a bit more of an impact on C6 ahead of the 0% ending. Assume you have that diarised to look for a new deal? 

    Your walk looks glorious - it's definitely a bit of the country we'd like to do more walking in! 
    We are not going to put anything else towards Card 6 for now.

    With the way costs of everything are rising we are going to put the extra money aside to help with the increased bills. 

    We have some alright 18 month balance transfer deals available on Cards 4 and 5 so we will move the balance across nearer the time the rate runs out on Card 6 then set the repayment to clear the balance within the 18 months.

    We will definitely get some more beef ribs the next time we are at the farm shop. They were amazing. Cheap as well. £2.99 for two huge ribs.

    They were melt in the mouth and so tasty.

    Mr SA would love that dinner. Great value when you think how much a steak is.

    It will be a no spends day today. Number 15 for March. Should hopefully get one more in before the end of the month.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was crumpets, we have both taken our packed lunches to work (thanks to whoever recommended grating carrot into grated cheese. Tried that for sandwiches today and it works really well), and dinner tonight is cajun salmon with jalapeno rice and vegetables.

    Tonight's jobs include:
    • vacuuming the house
    • cleaning the kitchen
    • walking the dog

    No spends day 16 for March and the last one of the month.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was toast, we have both taken our packed lunches to work, and dinner tonight is chicken in black bean sauce with wholewheat noodles and spring roll.

    We are planning to take the dog for a longer walk after work if the weather is fit for it. Not got any jobs to do at home so we may as well make the most of the lighter evenings again. Not sure where we will end up yet though.
  • I hope the weather brightens for you, it took all my efforts this morning to get our dog into the garden, he hates the rain!

    That dinner looks lovely, definitely my kind of meal.  I  quite often grate carrots, cheese and red onion and mix with a bit of salad cream for a sandwich filling. This time last week I was walking along the seafront enjoying the sun, today wrapped up in jumper and coat enjoying a wet walk.xx
