Not great but still movement - OD is a guess after Month end bills and Jan spends
Keep forgetting Citi balance so overestimate - statement says Im £80 ahead so figures a tad better.
Still trying not to spend.
£10 for top up shop but that should really be a weekly shop as I have loads in so hoping not to need to spend much else this week. £13 on taking younger to out to indoor play area to burn off energy. £5 on McD last week and £3 to DD1 for swimming today so not too bad. Bank balance looking poor at alost 800 overdrawn so need to work hard to keep it to the proposed 1000 :eek:
No work to Tues :j should really ebay some bits and tidy my room so
