    Well, I've kind of had another LBM.

    It's not massive and not particularly about getting out of debt, but as I was clearing up my flat and nearly suffering a panic attack. I suddenly thought. "I can do this".

    I can get my life in order. I can get over my last relationship. I can stop living like a farking teenager. I can actually begin to function instead of sitting around, being on the computer all day and ignoring all my responsibilites.

    The only question is can I keep it up?

    Coming back to the money, I spent 58p on two packs of noodles today. I know I could get cheaper, but I'm prepared to pay for taste ;)

    Today's spend was £24 on electric. This should be more than enough to sort me out til first week in Sept. and 97p on a smoothie and two packs of noodles.

    Haven't worked out for a few days so feeling a bit groggy but will get it together tomorrow!

    Been on nights the last 3 days so there has been no spending to talk of. Bought cheap conditioner, washing tablets and toliet stuff from Wilkinsons for £4.32 and had to pay to get back from work this morning (£7)

    At work today and going to see a friend later on tonight, so should be fun!

    Will put a tenner on my Oyster card later, but that should be all the spending I shall allow!

    Yesterday was an NSD, as I stayed in and cooked odds and sods for dinner and then went to the cinema with a friend. Had to watch Mamma Mia..:( :(:(:(

    But also saw Get Smart, so it wasn't a total loss :D
