    Off to bed now, been a long evening, not done as much revision as I hoped but I least I've done some.
    £10 spent on diesel - hardly looks like I've put any in except my petrol light is off again!
    night xx

    well very busy work day...........:(

    then went to Mr T and spent my £50 of vouchers :D I got loads of cat food and finest range food for loads of meals and only spent £12 - that was on few frozen bits, veg, milk and hot chicken for a treat for me and the cats!!!! they loved it!!!!!!

    then spent £20 on diesel :mad: so so expensive, that won't last long either.

    ordered my repeat prescription finally! so can pick that up friday.

    2 days off now so will be revising loads - just tomorrow i need to go out to get pressie for work colleague who has had a baby - i am in charge of the collection!! any ideas??? we have about £55.

    working this weekend which will be busy so need to make sure i get plenty of sleep.

    going to do a meal plan too now i have lots of food in and still need to sort list of cupboard food!

    so just relaxing for a little bit - trying not to worry about work and exams as that was making me depressed and really not worth it!

    what a hideous day too - like a winter gale outside!!!!

    So I just opened my post and had a lovely surprise to find £18 of M&S vouchers!!!! (allbeit from my CC usage:()

    Then remembered getting some a while back and found them!!

    so now have £28!!!!!!

    hmm ............what to do..........
    1. spend on yummy m&s food?
    2. treat myself?
    3. presents for xmas?
    decided to be sensible and get few pressies for xmas :):):) might aswell start early!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  • So far been a lazy day!! did not get uo until 10.30am but i guess i needed the sleep

    I have checked all my account balances.............hmmm not good!:eek: I have £100 for the next 2 weeks and will be travelling further due to being on a course for that period too so will probably spend at least £60 on fuel :eek::eek::eek:
    luckily have lots of food in thanks to Mr T vouchers:)
    Need to pay car tax (£30 so v cheap :)) but going to pay that fromn emergency fund (currently £60 in emergency fund).
    realised MOT also coming up and service....................always all at once!!! then car insurance 14th sep - going to start looking online for cheap deal though will still have to pay monthly :(

    so basically will have £40 max for 2 weeks (may need to dip in for more petrol) . will only need food essentials. i have a couple of birthdays but pressies already bought!!!!!!:):):) don't need any toiletries. will prob need some cat food despite there being tons in the cupboard as they eat for Britain!!

    right off to have strong coffee, then buy pressie for work colleague for new baby with collection, maybe spend m&s voiuchers for xmas pressies then revision!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
