Can't you access your credit card online so you can see the accumulated expenditure during the month?

No Stuart, she's too busy spending money or drinking wine to do that :rotfl:





Just kidding TPA :kisses3:

Can't you access your credit card online so you can see the accumulated expenditure during the month? As I'm with NatWest for accounts and one of my credit card accounts, they are all listed when I login. Does help keep your attention on the spend.

That said, £2000 per month is typical for us if I have say £400 work expenses, because all spend is on it whilst we offset to maximise the benefit. Hope that makes you feel better?

Ermmm, yes I can access cc details on line, but chose not to this month, this is why the problem arrose!!

GG you are nasty to me:eek:

Good news today, £66 is showing as to be paid from Quidco at th end of the month:j. Still awaiting £96 from Kia:j There are numerous refunds to go on the CC.

Off to get some wine from the stash and make ham eggs and chips:rotfl:

Evening all..

You all know how I like an impossible challenge, I always seem to fail most of my challenges so I might as well make Decembers vertually impossible:rotfl:

Ok dokie here we go, these challenge will start on the 1st December and end on the 24th. This is 23 days and nights!! Maths always was my strong point!

• I will only drink alcohol on four nghts out of the twenty three (I can feel the challenge failing already!)
• I will only have two 'spending days' - other than essentials - grocerys, deisel and any money I need to do mystery shops - (and a dog bed!)

Other 'must do's' before December 23rd!

• I will work out how exactly when each regular saver comes to an end and decide best place to put said savings
• Will eat more vegateables and less crisps and chocolate
• Join bingo port and gain 'free' vouchers
• Re-do our budgets
• Tidy up and sort out all items in spare room - (i'm sure theres a double bed in there somewhere under all the carrier bags, clothes, hangers etc.)!!
• Muck out main bedroom!
• Sort out 'office room'
• Remove all mystery shopping and other paperwork from living room and [STRIKE]put it in a box somewhere[/STRIKE] file it neatly!
• Chase up work, again, for all outstanding monies owed, get someone to assure me in writting it will be paid in Decembers wages.

Aww gawd thats enough!!!!

I'm off for a lie down now:rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

He he, i's the alcohol one i'm most worried about, saying that the spending one is just as difficult......hmmmmm, I WILL TRY!!!!

Good job I said it was a December challenge as i've just remembered i'm having my hai cut and highlighted (or is it low lighted) later, and as today is still November it doesn't count!!!! Went to Costco earlier and spent a rather large amount of money on seemingly not a lot. I did get a good deal on a card for my camera £12.99 for a 4GB compared to the 'half price offer' in Asda that was £14.48 for a 2GB It's a pain because my old camera took SD cards and I have a little collection of these but the Sony camera I won(:j) a while back takes the pro duo type:rolleyes:. Perhaps I should offset the cost against my tax as I use it mostly for MSing anyway!

My throat is still very sore but my ear doesn't ache as much today, I'm still feeling very sorry myself though.

A little update, my challenge doesn't actually start until tomorrow and i've not had any alcohol!:rotfl:

Shame about the spending though:rolleyes:

Oh well, everything changes tomorrow......how am I going to cope?? Anybody got any ideas how I can congratulate myself [STRIKE]if[/STRIKE] when I manage to complete my challenge?:D

So just to remind myself: I am allowed 4 nights of alcohol in the run up to Christmas Eve.

Other than grocerys, deisel, MS spends and a dog bed (random I know!) I can only spend 2 days out of the 23!!

OMG why/who/help:o
