Morning gang!

Absolutely freezing today!! Brought my gloves but as I was waiting on my bus was wishing i'd lifted my scarf aswell!

Quite annoyed with myself for spending yesterday, it could have been kept off till today but it was stuff we needed.

Monday - NSD
Tuesday - Bread, Milk & Fruit & eggs - £5.50
Wednesday - Bus to work - £1.00

Total - £6.50/£51.50

Its payday today, i've checked my account to make sure its gone in but I'm hoping not to touch my bank card untill Sunday. This will be the first time ever i've been paid and not spent straight away! Eeeek!

Happy Wednesday everyone

My spends have suddenly increased today! Its so annoying was hoping to be in budget this week but this is looking less and less likely.

Monday - NSD
Tuesday - Bread, Milk & Fruit & eggs - £5.50
Wednesday - Bus to work - £1.00, Petrol - £10, Window Cleaner - £5.50

Total - £22/£51.50

It means I only have £29.50 left untill Sunday, £10 for eyebrows tomorrow, £5 for train journey out on Fri night & £6 for taxi home. Leaves me £9 to go out with which is 2 drinks

Feeling a bit deflated now, really wanted to not spend any of my wages untill Sunday but I might havbe to take £10 out.

Anyways enough of me rambling lol

Not great but that is £6 on £2 coins so far this week I must be attracting them. I think it is because everyone is cashing them in for xmas.:D

Thought I was being a bit optimistic for payday week... Hey ho...

Had £315.01 extra this month due to overtime, however £210 has gone straight back to mum and dad for my car, and the other £100 was for Christmas. So I'm not any worse off than normal which is good. Unfortunately not really any better off either. Was VERY naughty and spent £14 on 4x books in Mr T's, no justifiable reason other than that I wanted them! NAUGHTY me!!!

Oh and I forgot to say...tomorrow my last payment goes out to paying off my DMP once and for all... £420.87. Have confirmed with the 3 remaining creditors, with CCCS and my bank, so come the end of December when CCCS pay them, I will be debt free! Woo hoo! :T
