OK moneywise I have coming in up until end of the month £1594.58 which goes away for next months bills and my expenses for Feb are £1515.03 so that gives me £79.55 to play with...well I say that however the car needs to go in for a service tomorrow and I am having to borrow the money out of B's saving account so I hope over the next 3 months I can pay it back.
Wonder if I can find anything to sell off on ebay to make some cash. Also guessing that B's swimming lessons will be due soon

I seem to be doing quite well this week. Apart from having to pay for the car Ive only spent £4.93 on sending a parcel (which I'll get the money back) and £1.50 on more bananas and £1.99 on some fish fingers. Food is getting very low now so rations until Sunday lol!
Had amended award from Tax credits which gives approx £90 extra a month but have had to inform housing benefits and council tax benefits so no doubt that will go down now. Was chatting to boss about it all today and she agreed that it was absolutely crazy to expect someone to live on that amount and if I wanted she would "lower my pay by the £5 a week thats needed" iyswim so that OH would qualify for JSA. Very kind of her but im too honest and the stress and guilt wouldn't be worth it.I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway.

Morning Diary
Well I went a bit off the rails yesterday spends and eats! Bought myself a boost 0.68p and some crisps (and milk but that was very much needed)
Had to also get my mum something for her birthday so bought picture frame £3.50 and got some nice photos printed £1.19 but used Boots points so FREE. Also had to get some elastic to make B's butterfly wings 0.80p. So all in all spent around £7 (need to dig out receipt)
So that leaves me with £24 for the shopping this week which I think is doable.
Have just won £20 on the bingo
much needed I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

£24 will be doable - make a meal plan using what you have in the cupboards/freezer and do your shopping list from that, and I reckon you will still have money to spare.
