  • Well it Friday :j. DH payday:j:j . Excitement short lived though as I have just done budget for next week :


    Funds Now £ 740 ish
    Child Benefit 185 ( due Monday)

    Total available funds = £925.00


    Outgoings:mad:
    Car tax £68.50
    School Dinners £24.00
    Credit cards £628.00
    Insurance £125.00
    Loan £100.73
    Petrol £35.00
    Food £100.00
    Total = £1081.23

    Shortfall =156.23:(

    MMM :think: not good.!

    I normally renew car tax on-line but IF I find my paperwork I could go to the post office next Friday ( I get paid ) and reduce the shortfall to £87.73. I may have to pay for groceries on cc and pay back On Friday. Not a good start to me NOT using the credit card.:o
