    Thanks rog :D

    So I have just been sorting my budget for this month. I have transferred my holiday money over ~ I had to do it early because of the bank holidays. Anyways I have payed off a few bills, those of which I would have done on payday before holiday anyways. So it just means when I get payed I will put what I spent back into my spends account ready for holiday :j

    So after all the bills are payed I have £111.27. I am planning to spend no more than £50 at the craft fair so thats I will have £50 to use for ebay sales (postage and fees) and then I can pay off some more from Argos :j

    So thats me :j

    I agree with you £10 is better than nothing... I just hope my locked one pays out just as much :p

    Gem thats wierd them calculating it before they even know how much you will put in :confused:

    So payday today, everythings payed/covered and I have £152.80 left :j thats without paying Argos. Still sorting all the details because I am deciding/arranging something that may increase my monthly outgoing but I am sure everything will be fine :j
