Aw I'm a nightmare for stuff like that - its Shein and Amazon for me!

Good luck. I will be following along.

Morning all,

Pay day today and my first chip at my debt totals.  I also paid for my hotel costs for my holiday in January so that meant a bit less to my debt repayment but it means come January I should only have to pay for going out when I’m there and the other touristy bits.

Debt update;

Car Loan - £3,774/£3,574
Credit Card - £2,600/£2,500
Holiday - £948/£474

Total Debt - £7,322/£6,548 (-£774)

Last week I had £5.78 left from my weekly £30 budget - a miracle 😊. Managed not to spend anything over the weekend which is unusual. I spent my weekend painting, babysitting and watching the All Ireland football final (amazing match) - so lesson learned is to keep myself busy and away from temptation. 

Monthly Asda order due this Thursday and I try to think of meals it will cover for as much of the month as possible so I only have small top up shops for fresh bits.

I had a super low buy this week. My Asda monthly shop came yesterday and I know that helped but my £30 weekly budget is really working. 

I have picked up a heavy cold - so not much of an update today. On the positive side, not feeling great cuts down the spending opportunities.
