    It was messy! Paid Thursday thank God so will update months spends then.

    April is a five week month and I need new stuff for work so it's going to be tight (just for a change!) Just did my budget and will really have to watch my spends. Got a few bdays in there too including Mums on Friday and already owe my mate £20 for Saturdays lunch. All gets a bit much sometimes but have to have a life or what's the point?

    Well done on the store card debt dismissal :D

    Pretty low spends too for a whole month, I've not dared to add mine up again since January, I can tell it's grim just by the thickness of the reciept pile :(
