well as i'm sure some of you will remember i am debt free now ...or should i say i was debt free.... for some reason 
i am back in the red only with my overdraft so far.... but is it a slippery slope?
so..... i have decided to start again i am going back to keeping the spending diary and try not to waste money (i seem to be a dab hand at that bit) i have a holiday in may to come as well so i need to avoid going any further into the red with that one ....
anyway i'm sure many of you will help me stay on the path this time and give me the required kick up the butt when needed
SO WELCOME TO MY NEW DIARY

Hypno - you have to change diets; I'd die without jaffa cakes (although I'm very disciplined with them one each day after dinner (for desert) is my limit, though I have been known on BAD days to scoff a triple pack!
El - congratulations on the new thread; you'll be debt-free again in no time and keeping a spending diary is an excellent way of monitoring money, perversly I don't like writing 50p for a cup of tea so I don't spend as much when I have to 'account' for it.
Where are you going for your holliday in May?
