I'm on a mission to save money and stop being so rubbish with my finances. It occurred to me today that I have only had 2 weeks wages for the past 8 weeks what with changing jobs and I really ought to have been saving rather than spending like a crazy woman! I think it will be beans on toast for lunch and dinner for the next week until I get paid! I'm debating whether to sell my car and get an old fiesta or something and try and clear some of my debt. Money seems to come in and go straight back out again, and unless I get a huge pay rise (unlikely given that I have only been in my new job 6 weeks!), get a part time job (I think I would be exhausted!) or start cutting back (the sensible option methinks!) I can see myself getting stuck in a rut!
Anyway, to cheer myself along I have set up a savings tally on my blog so that I can see how good/rubbish I'm being!

1 . Put this rather sparkly black Logo thingy on my Blog - check
2. Put a link/or mention - check
3. Nominate at least 7 other blogs. Let's see - All things shabby chic, Mary Poppins, Shabby Shac, Curlew country, the fairy glade, Country bliss....not quite 7 I'm afraid! I hope you haven't got the award already alhough I'm sure you all have because you all have wonderful blogs that I enjoy reading!
4. Put a link to those Blogs on your Blog - check
5. Leave a message on their blog. - i will do it soon, promise!
Random act of kindness: just a quick note to all the people who said they wanted to do this, I will be posting some items I have made out to the recipient just as soon as they send me their address so feel free to do the same and let us know how you got on! :-)
