    Dad £375
    Debt 1 £100
    Debt 2 £51
    Debt 3 £50

    Petrol £250 (paid back as part of expenses)
    Gym £ 28.95 (cancel in Jan woohoo)
    Life ins £6.18
    Income
    protection £13.84 (vital!!!)
    Car ins £19.95 (soon to go up now i have 6 points!! gah!!)

    So basically story as per usual... no debt... i'd be laughing!!!! grrr:mad: IT HAS TO GO!!!

    totals...

    £1305.92

    Surplus £444.08!!!!! god i need a spending diary... and PRONTO!!!

    But.... aside to that i have to pay

    £80 car tax this month
    £45 MOT
    £200 Payday loan repayment (still outstanding from my confessional earlier)
    £73 advantis credit from a disputed southern water bill. just want to get it paid now!!!

    so that really is about that, I'll use my money that i've come into to pay off these bits which should leave me square, I'll then get £495 back from the house deposit (we kept it tidy so i have no doubt that this will come back)
    which i will use for christmas and save some too)

    oops, food, forgot about that!! I could just not eat anything i guess he he
    so lets add £70 for food... surplus is still £374. and thats on my lowest income!

    Ok, challenge for today,,, Start spending diary!

    I'm hoping that this afternoon my cheque will clear in my bank which will allow me to get going with the DFW'ing again. I need £10 to start doing the scratchcards (every 10p helps after all!) and also £60 for a £25 matched bet i've had sitting sround for ages to do with extrabet.

    I'm really looking forward to getting back into this!! that debt is a gonner! woohoo!

  • Too expensive, definitely! Having eaten mostly potatoes and bread all week though, the cake that's currently on my desk is certainly not overrated.. yummmm....

    Am alright ta, glad it's Friday.

    I was going to say I know what you're full of, but that might sound rude! :o :rotfl:
