All my money seems to be parting company with me as quick as it can, I'm doing all I can to keep in budget!0 -
i have the same problem but what i have decided to do is keep a record of what i make even if i have to spend it but trying to keep within budget so can spend it on things like getting my house decorated
i know what you mean though struggling til the end of the month just to pay bills and feed mouths let alone make any money
at least if you do it like i intend to do you still have a record of what you have made and how even if you dont have a lump sum at the end

Just got credit 1000 points from shop and scan, they translate into vouchers, so just gotta find a way to convert that to cash. Hmmm...No longer using this account for new posts from 20130

Sold something on amazon this morning, and just had the email to say the money's going into my account next time round so I just made the fortnightly deadline :j Don't know how much postage will be so will update total when I go to the post office tomorrow.
My biggest challenge is to actually put my 'profit' from amazon, ebay etc into a savings account. I've been using it to top up my earnings for months now (probably why I'm short at the moment as I haven't really been selling for the last month) when I always planned to save it up, opened an ING account but that was such a faff to put the money into so have finally managed to close it and am going to open an account with the same bank as my current account (interest might not be so good but it'll be much easier to transfer the money).
