My debt diary

So i turned 22 today! And i have decided that i really need to get my finances into shape!

My SOA - http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=1445385

So as of Today 26th Jan 09

I have £14.30 in my purse
£50 in my bank
£58.99 in my savings account
£50.50 in my [STRIKE]Sealed Jar[/STRIKE] Magical Counting jar
£46 in £2 coins in my Sealed can
and an large unknown amount in coppers in my Hello Kitty Money bank (which is nearly full)

The money in my £2 can i have been saving up for a while to go towards the Hello Kitty collection from Mac, which is coming out in March!
(my two favorite things, Hello Kitty and make up!)

The money in my Savings Account and my [STRIKE]Sealed Jar[/STRIKE] Magical Counting jar, is going to be my spending money for Palma in March.
Going from 24th-28th with the college (theres only 5 of us going!)

I get paid on the 30th of Jan, i should get a pretty good wage this month, as i have done extra hours, but £100 of that needs to pay of the rest of the Palma trip, £50 to the old Bank of Scotland overdraft, and another £150 to my mum for rent!

I get my student loan and bursary though on the 6th of Feb, and with that i need to pay AT LEAST min payments on the cards!! And hopefully a few overpayments too! Then put some more away for Hello Kitty and Palma!

And if you have got through that you deserve a medal!!
