Funniest thing I have read on here so far today

I'm glad you liked it, but I meant to put "I always knew" instead of "I never knew" so I've changed it LOL

Flyin Fresian does one too (but not as religiously as me).

Mainly because:

A) I forget
It's quite depressing when it's 20 days till payday and most of the money is gone
C) My accounts have money flying in and out so it's confusing!

If I remember, I do an update in the morning before work, but it's mainly weekly for me.

Ooooh I've just done a freezer inventory and we have enough food for evening meals for 5.5 days worth of evening meals, so a few packets of mince (shepherds pie, Lasagna, Chilli and Spag Bol) and I shouldn't be anywhere near spending £64!!!!!
