Floozie's Lightbulb Diary

Verbatim

Well done Floozie. Your totals are very impressive for halfway through the month. You're so well organized too.
If you keep up the walk to charity shop at lunchtime you'll be fitter too.

Days to payday: 16 (this is the update that should have been done yesterday)
Money in bank : £294.86
Money in purse: £5.70
Grand Total: £300.56

Money spent since last update:.£12.48
£11.68 - groceries in co-op (got lots of nice reduced price munchies. 5 kit kat chunkys for £1 - so I got about 4 packs!!!!)
£0.79 - loaf of bread from shop (went to buy bread from co-op, forgot, so had to go to shop DUH)
£0.01 - to coin jar

Grocery budget: £280.00 / £127.30 spent / £152.70 remaining (prob will have to go shopping Saturday)
Petrol Budget: £110.00 / £105.79 spent / £4.21 remaining
My bus fare budget: £39 / £15.00 spent / £21.00 remaining
Everything else budget: £297.67 / £116.66 remaining (bloody birthdays - will be better prepared next year!)

I only got the bus one way to work today which is £1.80 instead of £3, so I put the remaining £1.20 in my £365 in 365 jar.

5 more items went to the charity shop today, a top I had never worn, 2 pairs of tracky bottoms DS2 has grown out of, a pair of my shoes worn only once and a skirt

I do hope so, I can't wait for silly season to be over, I've put about half a stone on

Alright....so I don't always keep up to date with my 'spent' but my 'money left is always right(ish). Come on, give me a break, I'm trying...

Oh for Goodness sake, can't get it to balance AGAIN!
Days to payday: 15
Money in bank : £241.53
Money in purse: £11.00 +21.00 in a separate purse for bus fares
Grand Total: £273.53

Money spent since last update:.£27.03* although I can only get this to £13.90, so I must have miscalculated somewhere along the line
£2.00 - McDonalds!!! (just a sandwich, in my defence I was expecting work to say we could go early like they have done the other NYE's I have been working, so I didn't take any lunch....except they didnt so I had to buy it in).
£0.05 - over to change jar
£12.85 - pub (went for a couple of drinks after work)

Grocery budget: £280.00 / £127.30 spent / £152.70 remaining (prob will have to go shopping Saturday)
Petrol Budget: £110.00 / £105.79 spent / £4.21 remaining
My bus fare budget: £39 / £18.00 spent / £21.00 remaining
Everything else budget: £297.67 / £95.62

Definitely think I need to start a spreadsheet along with this spending diary! Mind you, I did get really confused over Xmas Eve spending, so I did think my total could be wrong.

Happy New Year everyone, and here's to a happy and healthy 2010

Didn't manage anything to charity shop today so will go round in a bit looking for five things to throw out....
