Breath!! ok i have done exactly the same esp picking up things for other people and not putting money back in!
It sounds like some of your expense was mse eg t shirts for bro and gifts for later in year! Sometimes to save money you speculate to accumlate such as buing gifts for later in year!
Lunches. been there done that sometimes its just nice to have a nice lunch to get you through the working day!
Have a lunch on the day you enjoy least at work the buisest of monday!
And have packed lunch four days!
Dont be to hard on yourself you have accounted for the money which is a good thing its when you have no idea where it is gone you are in trouble!!
Plan March as its a nice new shiny month tom!

Thanks, but it still doesn't help that I can only make so much money stretch so far. I'm squeeeeeeeeezing every last drop I can out of it!

You see, I'm going to buy the Easter eggs today and part of me is tempted to bung it on the plastic to help with cash-flow situations so that I can pay it off later n the month when more Ebay money comes in, but another ppart of me knows that it's just STUPID to think like that and that is how I'm in trouble anyway, so I won't. I'll just deal in cash.

Right, have to go. Have to get dressed (:eek:), then go hunt Easter eggs.

See you all later (especially you, BTD!)

Just back from Tesco: 2 good-sized Easter eggs for £5.49 (the £1 ones wouldn't do it in this house, although they are more within my price range...)

Need to buy/make a Mother's Day and get well soon card this month. I have all the card/glue etc., but don't have any appropriate things to stick on them. Thought I saw some good letter at a reduced price in Tesco, but they weren’t, so I put them back. Will have to keep an eye out as I go around…

And to compound this month’s financial misery I’ve just realised I had to pay mum back £8.74 for some beer (bought as a thank you to the man who made my glasses who is replacing the lenses for free), and some tin foil for my nail course. I’ve paid it, but it’s not making life any easier. Come back Ebay, all is forgiven (anyone know when the next free listings day is, perchance?!)

A+L are perfectly alright.I've been with them about 18 months now and I use the PO to deposit money.Never had a problem with them.
If MBNA have sent you something about a 0% card..chances are that you'll get it.Maybe look at their website and see what earnings they require before applying.

Good advice, Taxi: I'll scoot along now...*Pickle gets on her scooter and pushes all the way to MBNA's website*

Personally I think A&L are dreadful (have had a basic bank account with them for 4 years now). Most of their staff don't know their **** from their elbow in my experience and I've never once been made to feel like a valued customer... or any better than a pain in the **** who's taking up their precious time.

I'm in the middle of switching to Natwest and have been absolutely bowled over by the fact that their staff treat me with respect and seem vaguely interested in my custom!
