  • just realised i had a no spend day (apart from my essential bus fares to work!!)

    I also took my left over sunday lunch in to eat today. Done quite well, have been berating myself for having a bad weekend and i think its even more important to identify the minor victories.

    Have also done a wee bit of reviewing on my finances, updated sig(hate the new sig rules), written a couple of cheques (figures incorporated below) and generally feel like i have made an effort today.

    Have also requested funds which are due me by various click and selling sites so thats £128.75 on its way towards debts!!

  • well today i.....

    used about a zillion watt on the tumble dryer due to DS 1&2 and OH being sick everywhere. I actually thought i had ran out of bed covers at one point. Had to take a half day this morning just to get the bed linner up-to-date.

    checked online banking
    doing piggy clicks
    bought a very nice dress on ebay via quidco
    listed some things on ebay
    closed the curtains in the livingroom to keep the heat in meaning i won't turn the heating up in the morning
    saved about £2 by buying a pack of 6 dairy milk for £1 rather than 50p each :)
