So this is going to be my spending, payments, overpayments..pretty much everything diary!

So how things stand today are:

New Look Card: £98.27
Dorothy Perkins Card: £201.01
Topshop Card: £186.44
Very: £2190.95
Kays: £163.56
Credit Card: £196.80
Old Student Overdraft: £898.97
Overdraft on other account: £200

Total: £4136.10 (not including my £1800 student overdraft)

Having a very bad time of it today, had the fright of my life last night when i checked the bank and found out i had £20 left! I was paid and got my loan in last friday, so i had £800 last week, and i have no idea where it has all gone! I have just had to use my credit card to make my minimum payments on all my store cards there, and just about to use £14 of my £20 to get a bus pass for the week!
No idea at all what i am going to do for the 2 weeks after that, will have to borrow money of my grandpa i think!

Well i raided the coin jar Got my week ticket, so at least i don't have to worry about getting to uni or work this week. Still have about £12 in my purse.
Tomorrow will be major ebay listing day, and going round to see my grandpa to borrow money.
Didn't spend anything else today except my bus pass. My mum and little brother came home tonight, been in Santa Ponsa for the October week! She brought me back ciggies, so thats another thing i won't have to buy for a while i guess.

So far this morning, i have listed things on ebay, applied for 2 PR jobs (fri and sat nights), a christmas temp job (mon and tues) in Boots and a cleaning job (mon, tue, wed 6-8am)
So fingers crossed!

I am only in uni Thurs 9-3 and Fri 9-1, and my shifts in Morrisons are generally Wed 5-9pm, Thurs 5-10/5:30-10:30pm, and either a shift on sat or sun. So i'm pretty sure i could fit in all three if i got them.

I am taking things seriously.

So the past few days have been very productive. Worked an extra 9 hour shift on Saturday (training for a new dept) So hopefully i'll be getting more shifts round there as well as on the checkouts!
Have listed lots on Ebay and Amazon yesterday, and my Gossip Girl box set sold within 10 minutes of putting it on Amazon, so going to post the today along with some other Ebay things that sold at the weekend.

I have signed up to the no more dvds, no more books and no more toiletries challenges. Have made wee inventory lists for all 3, and actually can't wait to start crossing things off them after i've seen/read/used them up

Also signed up for the 101 things in 1001 days/Day Zero challenge, and have started a blog on that which is here!
Also planning on making a blog about my using up toiletries challenge, and using that to write reviews on the products i have used up, i will probably make that one later on tonight when i have the time.

I have borrowed £40 off my grandpa, to get me through the rest of the month, which i think is much better that one of those payday loans which i used in the past. I have worked a lot of extra hours so far this month, so that will cover the £40 i owe him when i get paid again, plus extra for overpayments. Then i can start properly using my budget i made for my money monthly and weekly.

All in i am feeling very positive about things this time around, i know i have had a lot of false starts in the past, but i feel that i am actually going to stick to things this time. This is my last year of uni, and i really want to get everything paid off before i finish, get a proper job and have to start paying back my student loan and overdraft!

Followed you over here from your other thread.

Hope you find having a diary helpful!

Sounds like you are going to be having lots and lots of no spend days if you only have enough cash to buy your travel cards!

Good Luck
