Off to a show tonight. Totally forgot about it when working out budget, so this comes out of any excess. Tickets already paid for, it's the meal that it's my turn to buy for.
On a brighter note. Hol 1 is coming out about £600pp all inclusive of everything (in budget), Hol 2 is coming out about £180pp exclusive of food and entertainment. Just need to convince DH now ... this so isn't going to happen!!!
Also, I think I must have worked out my LBM debts wrong - how rubbish am I at maths!! Have paid bits and bobs this month, and I thought it was around about £500, I now make the debt £17,730.39, but I don't think I've paid off £784.61 ... seems a bit high to be honest ... maybe I really did, and it now looks this way - all I can say is yay!!!0 -

We're going to the eat as much as you like buffet, where if you get in before 6 you get it for £6pp plus drinks. Not the most expensive, it's just that I forgot to budget for it - doh me!!!0

House is gleaming again - yay, which is about the only thing going well at the moment (HL score).
I cannot seem to balance my bank account and I don't know why or where money has gone too - it's about £100 awry, from the refund from BG, but I can't find it anywhere :mad:, it can't have just disappeared. There's far too much goes in and out of the various accounts each month, drives me mad - think I need to go and do an accountancy degree!!! Can't be another hidden debt, I think I've owned up too them all now :A! And I'd see it on the account anyway. Arghhhh:mad:
On a slightly happier note, the meal last night was absolutely yummy, and if there's no weight loss on Thursday - I'm blaming the profiteroles:p. Have flown all day in a vague attempt, but don't think it's working!!!
Have cleared out about 14 bags of stuff for car-booting when we get into season. Am quite excited to see if I can make some pennies for the family holiday.0 -
