Drawing a line under the debt

So I have been reading lots of different diaries and am intrigued by non spend days! So I am going to set myself a goal of six before the end of the month.

Today was not one, was reminded by both the Girl and the Boy (12&11) that they have home tech tomorrow and Tuesday. I get my online shop Tuesday midday so no use for ingredients. The Girl was most put out that I wouldn't let her do lemon and blueberry muffins (have you seen the cost of blueberries:eek: ) so she is having to do chocolate ones as had most of the ingredients. Her challenge was finding a recipe that didn't use butter. But I still needed to buy flour and milk. The Boy is doing fruit salad so grapes and strawberries and some tins too.

And then I blew it all by ordering in pizza for tea :mad: bit annoyed with myself. But now I have decided not to go to Scotland I moved it over from the holiday budget. But no more this month

Tomorrow is a new day, that's what I say :rotfl:

Feeling sorry for myself today. Went in to have a crown fitted on one of my teeth (been saving up the £233 since Oct) but when I got there I ended up having a root canal filling instead, so the crown has been pushed back to may. My head hurts now.

On a plus I had an extra two hours work in my second job today, so £20 was earned which I have put aside for the relaxation class I will be doing twice a month with the Boy.

Tomorrow is my full on day, four hours in my second job, then six hours in my normal one. Basically out the house from 9am until 10pm with an hour between. It's tiring, but the mortgage needs paying.

I had the second third of the front room plastered today and my sister got me a massive tub of paint for my birthday, so next week we will be painting. Going to get the last third plastered next month so the debt busting is not going to be as good as it has been.

Anyway off to bed now I am cold and in pain.

So yesterday and today have been no spend days. The Boy almost spoilt it by asking to go to the local teen swim evening, but the pool is shut so money saved :rotfl:

Easy tea tonight, am planning on making something from the wagamamas cookbook tomorrow though, so will need to pop out and grab a couple of fresh ingredients, but should be under £3.

Been sorting my categories out on YNAB. I have two accounts, basically the joint account and my sole account. Have been getting confused as to what category is in which account so moved them all around a bit. Also sorted my holiday account into holiday and emergency fund. So my emergency fund has £500 in it, and have the money for the rest of the plastering which should be completed next month.

I used a bit of my entertainment category to make a payment to my credit card. I had been so good and not used it for three months and then the week after Xmas I managed to spend £200 on it so m slowly making small payments to it and haven't really put it on my debt total. Rather annoyed at myself about it tbh.

Anyway no plans for the weekend, might try and start the painting, need to find out how much is on my b&q voucher (I buy them at a discount through a works scheme) as I need a new paintbrush and mixing bucket. Just doing the mist coat in white atm, so need some tester pots to chose a colour, me and the oh are not agreeing atm :rotfl:
