I blew my limit right out of the water by spending I'd say about £40, on unnecessary items such as more food! Plus I didn not plan very well for friend visiting, although was a lot better behaved than I could have been!

Now I really am going to have to get strict though, as according to my internet banking I have £40 left to last me the month! How foolish am I!?

oh well........... giving myself £10 this week. I need to reign myself in quite drastically as new house move on the cards!

I have 17 quid in my purse and want to make it last until Friday when I get paid.
I have food and petrol so hopefully this is just for day to day spends.
There's actually money left over in the bank this month but I'm trying to save this to go towards my holiday in New York in a few weeks.

But will this extra food be wasted?

It's not the situation that determines how foolish you are, but how you handle it. You've bought extra food - so it *should* last longer. You have £40, so that should help focus your mind. Remember your....

SPEND DIARY!

This will give you a goal to move forward to. But remember - you're feeling happy, and that can only help.

Well today I have had a good spending day, managed to get a lift to the speedway so saved on fuel for my car, payed for my programme and KFC afterwards, 1st time in a long time I've been to KFC and it was lovely!

Managed to get the £80 my ex owed me as I asked for it infront of his mum who gave it to me and is adding it to the debt he owes her I have a funny feeling he owes her a fair amount!! BUT I've got my money so I'm happy

Also managed to get another £40 for tickets that were otherwise not going to be used

Spent £7

Gained £120
