Time to start a fresh.

Paid £4 to Marbles so now at £130. I'm 100% sure I can pay this off by the end of the month now

Just got back from shopping, managed to get a salad for work tomorrow down from £2 to 43p, a chocolate bar for OH at £1 from £3 and a few other small bits. Not bad

Im feeling a lot more in control recently, which I’m happy about. Im more motivated to kick this debts bum! I don’t think I’d of paid it all off by March but hopefully I can be more or less half way then! Im going to see what I can sell etc on eBay and go from there. I’ve learnt aswell that even though i am in debt I don’t need to be harsh on myself 24/7! I can buy something’s I want but don’t really need as long as I budget for it. 

Also, sim contact ends next month so will be changing to SIM only saving more than £30!

Morning all that follow along. 
Weather today is awful, hoping it clears a bit so I can do my couch to 5k jog later. Not really got a lot going on over the next couple of weeks, just working and coming home. I do have my covid jab on the 19th though.

Won a free photoshoot for the dog and me aswell as £100 to spend on the day! Also, paid £5 towards Marbles this morning!

Spent £50 in Iceland this evening, freezer is so full I've had to empty the cardboard packaging and put them into clear bags with the instructions cut out and stuck to it

Not much else going on, OH has ordered Lasagne from a local Italian. I've made a weeks worth of works lunches so no need to do that tonight.

😂😂this made me giggle. It’s amazing how much the tiny payments have made an impact on that marbles debt, it’s going to be gone in not time at all. The fact you feel so in control is a win too.

Honestly, it wouldn't fit in otherwise
Yes! I know it doesn't seem a lot but its going down slowly. I'm able to pay £50 towards it Friday also! Yes agreed! Still unsure if I should focus on CC first or try pay off a loan next as the smaller loan is £779
