Just to clarify P the allotment secretary is possibly in his 70's and if I had a wish for a surrogate grandfather he would be it! Nothing suss about it at all - hes just a lovely bloke who can reliably inform me that half my raspberry bushes are dead & does so in a lovely way - unlike other allotmenteers who can make you feel an idiot!

Ahem... cough cough... "Just to clarify lemontree" I believe that should be!:D

With the evidence being....

Morning debtbusters! Well its pay day ad the money came in & then rapidly eft my account so paid £799.18 off this month with this years total at £1621.84. The spending diary is back and it's gonna be a tight month me thinks as I try to keep to the grocery budget & keep down those "ooo pretty" spends! Next month not much better as I'll have to pay catch up on the car which will go on my CC today and for my new ennell bra - the best there is but at £37 they aint cheap! Anyone else feel we just go round & round in circles!! Having said that my total is now wonderfully close to the next thousand and JPL, O/D all high interest cards all paid off so not paying so much! Wine now gone and will make a concerted effort from now on. Not saying I will be perfect on fags & wine but must do better. I did SO well last year & am disappointed with myself more than anything. Onwards & upwards! SO goals for this month are as follows;
1) Keep within grocery budget of £150
2) Try not to spend more than £20 on rubbish (not including treatment booked for today)
3) Try & have some money left over at the end of the month for DEBT REPAYMENT!!
4) Try not to touch the £30 I put into savings
There! That feels better! Off to check my purse for piggy money!

aww thanks taxi - just realised that I am quite close to having paid 10,000 off which is fab as it will mean I've paid off on average 600 odd a month since LBM which is a boost at this stage as was feeling a bit like I was getting nowhere due to CC's! Just need to shift from the what can I buy with extra money to what can I pay off instead & I'll be going great guns! I have a plan! Not necc as cunning as a fox type of plan, more a simple yet effective type pan!! I know it aint rocet science but the spend less pay more is gonna work, I can feel it!! Do you think I could sell that idea? Ebay package perhaps?!!!
