    wooooohhhooooo!!!! Payday today!!!!

    right below is how ive managed to cut my outgoings down this month:

    Rent: £250 (Stays the same)

    Broadband: £25 (Stays the same)

    Mobile Phone: £80.43 (£90.06 this month but this is my last bill from Orange
    From March i will be on my new T-mobile contract with
    lots of free minutes and only costing £12.50 permonth)

    Travel Card: £29.35 (Stays the same)

    Savings: £10 (Stays the same)

    Gym: £37 (Cancelled)

    Loan: £303.71 (Stays the same)

    Overdraft: £163.28 (Completly Obliterated :j)

    Bank A/C Fee: £10 (Completly Obliterated :j)

    As u can see my outgoings are £908.77 last month i have now reduced those to £708.12 this month which means i can overpay my Loan by £250 this month :j this then leaves myself £117 for myelf over the month whcih equates to roughly £29 a week.....

    Going to get me cheque book out when i get home today so i can send it off tommorrow :j

    Next month i will be able to get my outgoings down to approximatly £650 cos my carp Orange tarriff will be gone and i will be on a decent tarrif for £12.50 which gives me a lot of free mins.

    Then next month i will roughly be able to over pay my loan by £330 pound :j

    oooo cant wait!!! :j
