    i have to admit that I find this new micro managing of my finances quite fun, and it is putting me off from spending any money as i want that bank balance to remain in the black and as healthy as possible. it is a novelty for me to be able to sit and think right, i have £47 to pay on non essential expenses... what have i got coming back that will cover that money? in this case i know i have it coming back in dog sitting money and my handset for my phone that i am trading in, both of which will bring a total of £52 therefore the entry for the edinburgh marathon is spending neutral in my eyes!!
    So that is another one of the 12 mad challenges entered and ready to go! all my entry fees for that are going to be covered by "extra" money such as ebay and dog sitting and amazon etc. good job too as its getting blinkin expensive!! :D

    right had best get ready for work.

    only one way to describe it this morning.... pain..

    my arms ache, my legs ache, my back aches, my shoulders ache but worst of all worsts MY BUTT IS KILLING ME!!!! damn you Jillian!!!!! :rotfl:

    Another day at work, quick turnaround today then off at 2 to see D for a long weekend and more than likely a full days cycle ride from Talacre beach to llandudno and back again on Saturday. Good practice for london to paris next year as it is about 40 miles and no doubt my butt will be even more painful come monday!!! :rotfl: ah well pain must mean its getting smaller!! (hopes!)

    No chance of a no spend day today but this weeks spending money is still definitely intact minus 90p and it only needs to last til monday. my theory is that by doing dinner for myself and d tonight (mainly with items taken from the cupboard here) he will then buy lunch and possibly dinner tomorrow therefore saving me the trouble! :D cunning as a fox me! :D

    Have a good day all, will try to pop on over the weekend if i can without being moaned at for being anti-social! take care out there xx
