Nothing yet! But I have a whole day - no, the rest of the week! - with DD, so although I'm trying to teach her the MSE ways, it's bound to go downhill!0

thankfully not a penny. Got off the phone from orange who wanted £99.99 from me for an upgrade, thankfully it came down to £0 when i told them i was off. lol.
Car insurance is due on the 11th though0 -
Nothing yet, and have lunch with me. A horrible lunch, pate on stale bread, nice!! But refuse to let it go to waste!!
Shouldnt spend anything else today...
I am such an idiot sometimes. I was so eager to transfer money into my savings I totally forgot to actually allow for my bills this month. DOH DOH DOH!!! So could have kicked myself for being so stupid, and quickly had to transfer £400 back into my current account. Serves me right for being an eager beaver!!!
On budget for this month, payday is 3 weeks on Thursday, and I have £60 a week...

Right well I have spent nothing today, and plan to keep it that way!!!
Am in work till 5pm, then going to try and get to gym or go out walking. i have alot to save/cut back on if I'm going to buy my own place, so must be strong!!!0 -
£179.50
£1.50 Bus fare
£13 0n me weekly bus pass
£10 out of the cash machine which will pay for my dinner the next 4 days
£155 quid in DDs to pay off various debts
not a penny wasted (had no option about the bus fare)0 -
Spent £1.20 on bus fare today as i got up too late to walk to work, and it was raining! Can't believe Christmas is over and I'm back at work already...
I've bought lunch with me, and will stop being so lazy and make sure i walk to work for the rest of the week. So that will save some cash.
Overspent slightly in the sales, so only have about £100 for the month, but the house is full of food and i've sated my appetite for clothes till next payday! £100 isn't so bad, really.

Unexpected expensive day for me today.
BT bill came in, £90 for the quarter!! I use 18866 and 18185 when making my calls, so all the calls on the bill are from my family who used the phone without this code, so think i'll be gettitng some of the money back from them, especially the boyfriend as most of his calls are to mobiles.
Then have to go and pay £40 nursery fee's later today but im hoping my tax credits will adjust and cover some of it for me.Lightbulb moment Dec 2005 - debt £23700
June 2010 - £17984.210 -
Have been to Tesco and Spent £85.76. But I used a £1 voucher for something I had not bought. (apparently they accept one per transaction). And I got £12.50 worth of saving with BOGOF. I have to buy a lot of fruit and none of it is on special offer. Did get 8 tins of tuna though BOGOF and 2 pizzas the same deal. Altogether not too unhappy.
That leaves me £425.24 for the rest of the month but I have put £1 in the pin challenge. So £424.24.Nobody is perfect - not even me.0 -
