    Ok so i u read my diary yesterday u would have seen that i said i wanted to raise another £100 in the next week so i didnt have to worry about my first lot of tuition fees. Well GO ME! only £50 to go, transferred ANOTHER £50 from ebay this morning into my account :D

    Shall need to chuck another ton of stuff onto ebay between 2nite and 2moro if i really want to suceed with my target though. Decided Im not going to do the bronze olympic thing nemore though....im gonna change my challenge to getting my tuition fees through other means....(aka. Ebay, Overtime etc etc) So thats £1800 by next July, im pretty confident about it :D:D:D

    Just thought id tell u all that! i was sooooo excited this am x x x

  • OK not wrote in this diary for a while :S sorry to my readers if there is ne ha ha!!

    Had my first day at uni 2day, it went well but as I am PAYING my own tuition fees im needing to cut down on things so i made myself a new budget.....just hope i can stick to it...

    Ok so my car only has one month left then it is TOTALLY paid yipeee so im not including that :D:D:D

    Outgoings (per month)
    Car Insurance -£35 (going to change this to tescos insurance which is only £15 a month :D)
    Petrol - £45 (filled it up on payday and im determined it will last me till the end of the month)
    Phone Bill - £55 (changing this to pay as u go when the contract runs out in February)
    Digs to the rents - £100
    Tuition Fees - £212 (every 6 weeks rather than every month)
    Travel - £66
    Weekly Allowance - ??? (Still not sure about this one, i can never seem to stick to a set amount)
    MBNA Card - £60
    Barclaycard - £20
    Eggcard - £10

    TOTAL: £603 eeeeeeeek :( WITHOUT A WEEKLY ALLOWANCE :(

    My basic wage per month is £370 :( so lots of overtime needed to break even i think :(:(

    Maybe i have took on too much with uni and stuff, or maybe i spent too much in the last 4 years and now im paying the maximum price for it!!

    Any help on ideas to cut back, make money etc etc would b helpful VERY HELPFUL! ha ha!!:confused:

    MONEY is the worst thing EVER :(
