            Well done on making progress even if you haven't reported in a lot. That's the important thing - making progress!
 fyi - years back someone on a forum elsewhere suggested putting credit cards in a plastic pot, filling with water and putting in the freezer. Slows down any purchase particularly if online is an issue! Lots of time to think about the while you thaw out the card(s).I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.

            Thanks Brie - not a bad idea regarding freezing my cards. I also need to remove their details from online shops.
 so far this weekend I’ve spent no money but have done loads - fri ran a 10k race with friends and y’day spent supporting nephews football team, picked up aunts shopping, and started painting a bedroom from leftover paint when I did the other bedroom last year.
 I sold 1 item on vinted and have changed the postage preferences to the post office because it is just so much handier. I also weeded my tiny garden and now I need to find large plant pots to start my own herbs. I’m going to try the charity shop first. Pay day this week and I can’t wait to start stuffing my envelopes and saving any left over money from this month.0
