    I've given up on hoping for any weekly spending money next month, I have got some in the budget for my girls Xmas night out and a trip to the Bath Xmas Market.

    I always factor the same amount for food shop and fuel so don't worry about that side of things.

    If I clear Lloyds its going to leave us with enough for food and petrol only just wish it was a few hundred less. I need to clear this so I can BT another card to reduce interest payment. Im not giving up yet anything can happen.

    I know but its so frustrating, I have to pay for my take that ticket and we have 4 friday nights out before xmas which is almost unheard off so i guess the only way is to pay Lloyds off December and do BT then this is one I just dont think I can make work.

    We are approaching the wrong month for keeping the budget to the bare bones unfortunately.

    I go to bed thinking about money, wake up thinking about it and spend all day on here talking about it :)

    I'm almost the same except for in the mornings - it's too early and I find it hard to think about anything at all! :D
