Making every penny count

Marru

Finally after months and months of scrimping I strated to have more money in January and now in March I have spent waaaaay too much. Now back to square one I haver written more cheques than I have money on my account. I have everything crossed that nobody will cash any of the cheques until I get some more on Tuesday. I can't now spend a penny until I get my expenses paid on Friday. Pah - when will I learn. Task for the weekend - GET MY SPREADSHEETS UP TO DATE and then keep them that way!!!!!

Its the only way to go really Marru. I update my spreadsheets on a daily basis so I always know how much money I have NOT got:o I don't spend for days then I blow it all in the blink of an eye:o

Hi,

Im just starting to read this thread, currently on page 2, but thought I would drop a wee note to say hi. I am mum to 3 boys and currently spend around 60-70 pound a week on shopping, I have a small amount of debt but thought I would jump on here to keep me on track!
