    I need to re plan, I have lasped while been off line, posting almost daily keeps me on track

    I am now keeping my 3rd job money in a seperate little purse for me. Its usualy £20 a week odd weeks its £30 if i do an extra hour. This is stopping me from going into my current account for spends :j. I dont feel guity about spending my own little purse money. It doesnt half make a differece to money in the current account, not drawing £10 here and there. £7 pound left in my little purse and will be another £20 goes in tomorrow :j.

    I have started a Jewellery making class, it local £36 for 10 weeks. Each week you make at least two items of jewellery and all materials are included. Paid for this out of my own money :T.
    Do I need this or just want it.

    Good 1st day back.

    £8 spent on fruit and veg, that for the whole week........soon be cutting that back when veggies are ready on allotment.

    £0.85p on milk

    £1.34 on hot Cross buns x 6........now this was a dilemma, I am no bread maker and would it be cheaper to make them ? flour, yeast, fruit, gas etc ?

    Also forgot to mention, I have been wanting a wormery for ages.........well my friend bought me one for my birthday, so I am recycling my kitchen waste now.

    Nights tonight
