Hey everyone.

Well, no surprises, a nsd for me today, and another freddy frog munched from the fridge. Twas lovely too, mmmmmm

I did move the odd 2.55 left lurking in my account and actually paid it off my credit card which is good. Leaves me 1p in my current account until friday when i get paid. Was going to leave 0p in there, but for some reason that scared me! Not sure why because I would not be in negative money and i have nothing left to come out, but it felt safer leaving a penny in there!!! Maybe next month i'll feel braver and leave a zero balance, but psychologically it felt like I'm not as poor if I have money in the account, and not zero, lol. Does that make me strange haha

I've been amazingly good this week and still have money left in my budget, going to the pub tomorrow lunchtime so am sure my remainder will be spent on a beer :beer:

Payday for me tomorrow so I get to work out my budget for next week/month, am going to try and be even tougher in August :T

Zip, zilch, nada, zero spent today as i am still broke. Why I thought I wouldn't be I don't know as I don't get paid until tomorrow and haven't suddently found loads of money, but sometimes I wake up and forget i'm skint, and then it slowly dawns on me! Bummer really!

Payday tomorrow though. Must resist the urge to spend that I get every payday and pay some off the old c/c instead

I get that urge, it is like a little voice in my head that says it is payday or the weekend after and I can do as I please. I must say over the last few months the voice has been getting quieter so maybe I am finally getting somewhere.:D

Anyway for me today I spent £2.99 in Superdrug but this comes under toiletries. I also spent £2.28 on food to supplement my lunch. So total for today £2.28, total so far £8.60.

I have to spend £1 on dressdown at work tomorrow and I am going out for lunch so hopefully under £20 should be a doddle.
