I realised earlier this week that I’ve become a little too comfortable in my overdraft recently. I absolutely hate being in debt so I’ve decided I need to take some steps to get back on top of things financially. Inspired by the shopping banns and spending diets of other bloggers I’m going to set myself a weekly spending limit of £70. This may seem like rather a lot but it will be for spending on the children as well as myself (and with the summer holidays about to begin I know this is where most of the money will go). I keep all of my housekeeping money (for food and bills etc.) separate so this will basically be my disposable income for the week with which I’ll have to entertain myself and the children! I should still be able to treat myself to the odd beauty fix and I do have some money saved for new clothes as well so it’s not like I’ll be going cold turkey!

What a great idea. I need to cut back too. I think establishing a budget is probably the best route versus cuttign yourself off completely.
