Thanks Miss Tara for this month's challenge

A new month, a clean slate

My aims /plans for April will be as follows:
Aim for at least 15 NSDs. - I will try. I personally don't count an NSD unless I don't spend anything at all, apart from Direct Debit bills or business expenses which I obviously account for elsewhere
Pay to your debt or savings first and live off the rest. - no debts nowadays, but our savings have taken a hit over the last few months, so it would be good to start to put some of that back
Report in every day - I am a bit rubbish at this, but will try
Interests - I can't wait till the weather gets better and I can do more in the garden!
Love yourself, do something to make yourself feel fab - I will think about this. I have an operation scheduled for the middle of the month so will be especially kind to myself after that

I am not a 'pampering' type but do enjoy a bubble bath, perfume, moisturiser and lipsalve. That is about as far as it goes
Find time to get outside - I have had a painful hip problem which is slowly improving, so I want to get back to going for walks, and doing the garden. The lighter evenings should help with this, and it would be great if it would ever stop raining!
Overpay - aim to pay 20% extra to your debt or savings - I will try to do this. I have lots of food in, so will only be buying items to go with what we already have
Organise your month. Check your cupboards, make a meal plan and stick to your food budget. Plan any social events and budget for them, ideally come up with free alternatives. - Will do.
Lose one bad habit - Eating too much - need to get the weight down!
Sign off your daily post with a list of gratitudes. - will try

Groceries - 250.00
Pet food - 18.00 (will need to buy big bag this month)
Diesel - £80
Presents - £60 (family birthdays)
Toiletries and cleaning supplies - £30
