Evening all.
I have been cringing at the thought of what I have spent over the last few days.
About a week ago I put £300 in my cash pot. I banked all my other money and can say that I have my finances under control.
This weekend was a bit of a do for me. I brought a dress while looking for a pair of trousers that would fit me. But I realised I didn't need the dress and took it back. (is this the point that I confess I did wear it? :whistle: )
All but £30 has gone from the pot.
Out of that I have paid for the 'big do' I mentioned before
Pocket money
Some shopping (:whistle: )
I also put £140 worth of purchases on my CC (but don't worry it's being paid off next week)
I was scared that I had really blown it, but assuming that I stay on budget, then I have nothing to worry about (even budgeted for £200 to go into a saving pot - work that one out !!!!)
:j
Thanks
GW

Well done for keeping o track, despite spending the money you did! And also for taking the dress back!
Do you think you'll be able to resist temptation from now regarding using the cc or would cutting it up be best? (says me who hasn't!!)

Oh there is no temptation in using the CC, I am ony using it to earn the £15 GP bonus cash.
When the statement arrives, I'll clear it for sure
Thanks
