Best of luck, Sassers!

Today I have:
* checked my online banking - and found Specsavers took their Direct Debit twice this month, rang bank who've recalled it blaming a 'leap year error'
* paid £100 off OH's CC
* brought lunch in from home
* drank squash / water at work, ignoring Diet Coke

Afternoon

Today I:

* have checked online banking and am surprised to see money in there at this time of the month - something must be wrong somewhere!
* have refused an opportunity to go into town to spend money unecessarily
* am spending the day inside in the warm
* will try and fix the dishwasher and it seems to be leaking somewhere!

I am a noobie..today I did my weekly shop, and by using a cheaper food store, saved a huge £30!!
The money I saved means an overpayment (woot) on a catalogue bill.
I know this is a tiny thing but being in here yesterday and facing up to things finally, has made me examine every aspect of what we spend...what an eye opener.
Started a spending diary.
Filled in a spreadsheet.
Kept my shopping receipts...(thats a first)
Feel more content than I have for months..this will not be easy...but I think we can do it..yay.

* Took advantage of my vouchers in the sales today:
1. M&S sale:Oxfam £5 + my VOP £10 to replace my unmentionables £43.50 cost, £28.50 cash.
2. Debenhams sale: starting price £14 , actual cost £5.50 thanks to 25% off + £5 'tempter' from last statement. Plus a bag of chocolate eggs

* 2 Comfort samples in the post
* store cupboard meals
* meeting with buffet tonight so saves cooking!
* shall carry on shabby chic-ing old bedroom furniture (looks much brighter already)
* washing out on line

Hope you keep posting it can help you keep motivated and all the little things really do add up to bring that debt right down - and keep it down.
You WILL do it:D

Took lunch to work (and made pack lunch for DD who had exams today, and DS for school).
About to do clicks.
Store cupboard dinner for kids - and I am eating out with a friend - free - courtesy of Tesco deals and Pigsback vouchers - hooray!
NFD so far...

Not done much today, checked online banking, checked to see if there are any mystery shops available (nope) and going to have left over quorn chilli for tea, so only need to find something for the other 4.....maybe sausages.......lol. Feeling a bit down, so I might treat myself to a nice free bubbly bath tonight....or I might just sit here slumped in my chair lol.
