    Having a bit of a money wobble so need to calm down! Started thinking have car payment, and higher insurance and probably higher fuel, and new gym membership and went :eek: But actually, it does all add up - just need to make sure I keep on top of day-to-day spends!


    You know it's so much better to spend your money on the car and the gym than random stuff you don't need (takeaway, top from Primark.....) At least this way you have things that really contribute to a better lifestyle.

    Enjoy collecting the car this evening :T

    Went to the football yesterday - and was fed so almost a NSD, just a £1 bet at the game :D

    Went to the gym this morning and had a sauna and jacuzzi :)

    Got some car mats and a gym bag with my Nectar points so spends this weekend have been £22.50 for nails, £3.42 Tesco, £1.83 Boots and £14.99 for a (much needed :o) sports bra. Total of £44.74 inc the bet so £87.27 remaining for the month. Not sure I will manage that but keeping a spending diary has been eye-opening!

    Need to have a blitz of the flat now and then going to Mum's for tea :D
