    and that is only for transactions over £10 remember squizz!! :rotfl:

    Ok, full financial audit conducted down to the last penny. I have £254.41 left in my bank account. Gulp oops maaaajor overspend. £30.30 in coinage around the house and a fiver in my purse. Grand total £289.71.
    I shall Ignore £100 of that and say that for the month I have £189.71 left. minus £100 for fuel, £11 for a direct debit that STILL hasnt been drawn and I make that a surplus this month of £78.71. that needs to cover any fresh food I may need salad and the like so about £15 of that will be food and then IF i am frugal I cant think of anything else I may need to spend the rest on. fingers crossed anyway!!! :D

    Hey, holiday sounds good - and like it has caused big (good) changes. Would definitely recommend Edinburgh when the Christmas market is on - the outdoor ice skating etc.. and mulled wine (possibly after skating rather than before!) :D

    Good luck with the training plan!

    Sounds like you had a fab holiday! :D

    Glad you enjoyed Edinburgh! I love it but then I'm biast, its where I live! Let me know if you do come up here at Christmas and I'll buy you a gluwein! The outdoor rink is fun but you may need the gluwein to heat you up before AND after the skating! :rotfl: Please just don't break anything or injure yourself though... that wouldn't be a good start to your challenges! (I'm currently in a cast after breaking my wrist ice skating so I speak from experience! :p)
