  • Hello everyone, hope you're having a great weekend so far.

    Today I cancelled the payment protection on my catalogue, should never have taken it in the first place, so that should help a little bit :) I've done my recycling, and had to restock on pet food and bedding, so have spent a little bit, but don't need any groceries etc so shouldn't have to put my hand in my pocket for the rest of the day :) ...which will make up for the relapse I had on Friday on the 0% CC for (awaits the backlash) Take That tickets :T but I should get the money back from relatives for those this month which will be paid straight off the balance. I'm looking forward to tomorrow as it's the start of a new month and I can get a proper idea of what goes in and out monthly.

    Need to fix the young'uns drawers this afternoon, two drawers keep coming off their runners, I'm rubbish at DIY but will do my best to bodge it back together somehow. And I really need to tidy my bedroom :( but there is MotoGP to watch which is much more exciting :D

    Hope you all have a good rest-of-the-day :)

    Hi Determined,

    I must admit that I am a bit of a spreadsheet geek and I have to have a budget on a spreadsheet so that I can look at my bank account and add up what's remaining. Each time something goes out of my account I colour the cell.

    The budget is of course assuming that nothing changes. I also have a note of how much my debts are and I can see them going down each month.

    If you want to see the spreadsheet, pm me your email address and I can email it to you.

    Thanks
    Candy xx
