Ooops I feel really bad now. You are very good at it though - Welcoming and motivating in equal measure.
OK - I'll back your bid for December Totaliser!

Don't feel bad I'm not quite that sad - not quite :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

£85 on bingo well done - isn't it time you started a diary so we can keep up with all your happenings instead of chasing you all over the board

OK budget done only a slight headache so not too bad.

I have used several sides of paper plus two spreadsheets and I am now about to copy it into my pink (wish it was purple) book that I carry round wth me.

It has taken quite a few hours and the figures are pretty scary:eek: at least I have a better idea of where the money has been going :rolleyes: and to enable the level of debt repayment that I would like I have had to do some savage cuts in some areas :eek:

Now the question is will we be able to stick to the new budget :rolleyes:

Only time wil tell but at least I will know if it is going pear shaped and hopefully can do something about it.

No bingo wins so far today I will really have to up the pace :rotfl:

If it is realistic, then YES you will be able to stick to it! If it is not realistic, then you will find out in the next few weeks, and you have chance to revisit the numbers and make them realistic.

Too often, budgets are idealistic rather than realistic, and that is where we go wrong.

So, today will be well worth it, good for you for thrashing it out.

I won on BB early this morning but nothing on KJP at all today - plenty of 1tgs, and I had £20 of bbs to work my way through earlier, but nothing produced the goods.......bah!

Yes there are a couple of areas that will take some work but I am going to give it a go.:rolleyes:

I played through £10 of bonus money with no joy on KJ and won £2 extra bonus money on Britain but still couldn't win with it so not good on that front today.

I am pleased to have done the budget though and it is written in my pink book now so I am all set

Right first budget challenge

1. We have been invited out to lunch on Wed - leaving lunch for friends moving to Devon can't really cry off so will put dent in eating out budget
2. Our wedding anniversary tomorrow we were planning on going out but budget won't cover that and above so have to persuade OH that we can buy something nice from M&S (with my vouchers:D) instead and I have bought him a nice bottle of wine so we can drink that - hope he goes for it:rolleyes:

Need to get kids in bed early if plan is to suceed;)

OK day 2 of the new budget so far so good :j

NSD yesterday so that was good

OH is happy to have meal from M&S so need to go and get that and my pressie to him was bought with the tescos double up wine vouchers so that was good:D
He has bought me some flowers which are lovely normally if he buys me flowers he gets them delivered from the florist but these are from Tescos so I think :money: is working for him too

Won £10 on Britain this morning so that has been withdrawn and got up to payout on scratchcard so £5 requested :T

Right off to fill in my budget sheet with the payments made so far today.
