  • Ebay auctions end tonight;
    Banked £90 won on free bingo wins;
    Heading off to Tesco for some own brand shopping and wombling.
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!
  • Got paid today: Have £616 more than normal due to overtime/honoraria payment/refunded childcare vouchers/backpay.

    This means not only have I got enough money to pay my holiday (due 20th March) but i also have the £500 holiday spending money I want to take!

    I've now decided I am going to attempt to clear my debts and tackle them one by one. The first is my Alliance & Leicester overdraft, which is costing me £10 a month, which is a £5 charge for under-use, then a £5 overdraft charge. I'd like to think I could have it paid off in five months. The limit is £900 and it was standing at £798.01 as of today.

    I had several linked savings accounts with nothing in them, bar for a very minimal amount in each, so I have closed those savings accounts and moved the money into the current account. Balance now stands at £794 something
    Start Date: 27/11/2010
    Padding: Day 42
    Target £8000
    Amount: £562.23

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.
  • Hello everyone. I'm new to this thread.

    Happy birthday Webitha!

    Today I cancelled my contact lenses. I've been meaning to do it for months as I can't afford them and I don't wear them as often as I used to anyway so I've got a backlog of them now.

    I also made a spreadsheet of the money diet calorie counter (I don't have excel so couldn't use the one on this site and made up a budget. I've been reading The Money Diet and some info on this site. I haven't been anywhere or spent anything. I was going to do some laundry but I'm going to give it to my Mam to save my electricity!

  • Wishing you a Happy birthday Webitha.

    I have had a turn out of my wardrobe and will be putting some items on ebay in the next few days.
    I also went out to lunch without any money to ensure I didnt spend anything!
