Thanks Dolly, I needed that :beer: I was close to going shopaholic crazy. It was so tempting to decide the beginnings of the emergency fund was now going to become the christmas fund and shop shop shop :eek: It was an achievement and I need to see it that way! Thank you!

There's £400 in the debts account (we piggy bank) to cover the minimum direct debits over the rest of the month, but on top of that I've managed to pay £788.06 off the barclaycard. Mega happy with that!
I know it seems ridiculous sending the 6p but it was in that account and I've decided every penny counts

Well, I had a bit of a strop over the weekend, got a bit down and had a bit of a frustrated cry. Then I decided to put my big girl pants on and gave myself a talking to :rotfl: I'm now back on it and getting on with life in a frugal way. I'm trying to change my mentality a bit to see if I can get a competition going with myself - let's see how little money I can survive on. I thought if I set myself a little challenge I might get excited about NSDs and other MSE ways! I'll let you know how it goes!! Hope everyone is good.

It's ok to feel overwhelmed. It's a big mouthful you've bitten off and trying to chew. Glad you are feeling better though." Your vibe attracts your tribe":D

You're making a lot of big changes so you are allowed to have a wobble.
Do you feel any better?

Yeah I'm starting to feel better about things, thanks Dolly and Bobarella.
My little one isn't sleeping great at the minute, and I never cope well with sleep deprivation, so I think that had a lot to do with my mood over the weekend! I'm also job hunting because of some major changes at work that I'm not loving, so I don't get a happy escape at work either.
Anyway, enough moaning. Time to catch up on Bake Off... A nice big chocolate sponge would cheer me up massively right now... :rotfl:HIGHEST DEBT £63,300 LBM 27/5/2020 DEBT FREE DATE 31.08.20220 -
I can sympathise with the lack of sleep thing. It is a massive thing to be permanently sleep deprived." Your vibe attracts your tribe":D

It is isn't it?? We're not doing great in this house. I don't really agree with letting them 'cry it out' or any other sleep training kinda methods, so I just end up comforting and cuddling him. Probably making a rod for my own back somehow, and am permanently shattered, so just pass the matchsticks please everyone!!
Today hasn't been too bad a day. Got lots of jobs done at home, sorting out the mountains of washing and put everything away (for someone with no clothes, how do we have so much washing?? :mad:) and managed a NSD. Happy bunny.
I'm waiting until the end of the month to post an updated debt total. I'm delighted to know that I've already smashed my end-of-2016 target of being under £30,000 but I don't know by how much... Excited!:jHIGHEST DEBT £63,300 LBM 27/5/2020 DEBT FREE DATE 31.08.20220 -
