    Right a new week and a great weekends running :D

    Didnt spend much either and am currently £4.04 spent of my £20 but in my defence I had to buy coffee which stops me buying it from costas or where ever so that'll last a few weeks.

    At OHs again this weekend for running - noooo not the hill :p so little money spending there and out for my works summer party on Wednesday afternoon so a free lunch (no drinks for me though as I have a 13 mile run to do after :eek:)...if anyone is interested we are going here:

    What do you mean - "a new week" - it is tuesday already.....that means it is practically Wednesday, which means the weekend is almost upon us :confused::rotfl:

    Right stupid bank time...

    Have cancelled my CC and went in today to pay off the remaining interest charge...less than £1...anyway because they wouldnt change my address when I moved a year ago (*rolls eyes*) they have sent my closing balance to my old address...

    The nice lady in branch rung them up for me and appparently they will write off the 65p as I cant pay my bill without that closing balance...

    Who wants to bet they will be chasing me for that (and adding a late fee) next month - but of course at my old address no doubt *idiots*

    Ah well have got nice lady in branch's name and will go back if I get any problems but honestly what muppets!!!

    Okay its pay day on Friday so am going to reduce the overdraft by £100 :eek: but good too - I've been relying on it for too long so its got to go :D

    Also, have been good at food budgeting this month so thats good but less good on general spends - totally failed at the £20 challenge so am going for 15 NSDs next month instead :D

    Running was goooood today - didnt make 45 miles last week as was tired from racing the week before but hoping to get there this week. :D
