gem thats not too bad as evening meals are included, at haven the meal prices are a little outrageous :rolleyes:

little update from me... i seem to be browsing ebay and internet shopping sites more this week/weekend as i know there is money sat in my accounts waiting to be spent :rolleyes: not good as this is how i got into debt anyways i have been shopping again today and spent all my vouchers that people online have given me or i got from the freebie section of this forum :T so i think i need to stop spending ~ now... its not too bad as my next weekend off (when i usually spend) is after pay day :rotfl: so i have done the best thing i could and transfered £247.00 into my savings accounts

this is £175.00 from my virgin casinos (i took back the £55 i used to take up this offer however in 2 months time £50 will be put in my paypal account from topcashback ) £72.00 from part of my bed sale

over the week/weekend i have spent £114.93 :eek: ... however this included many xmas presents to the value of £112.78 for £60.00 (so techinally i should take the money out of my xmas account :rolleyes:), my duvet, my matteress cover, new bed clothes, wii points, a birthday gift, food and pet things :rolleyes: it does look bad but many a month goes by and i spend just my £10 a week weekly money and one wii game... soo i dont know what i am trying to do, justify it but why? i am not in debt so its a mini blow out and £247 in savings including my usually monthly £203 is great

anyways enough rambling :rotfl:

Don't feel guilty for what you do spend, but don't go overboard, it's about balance

just rejigging my budget as my bike insurace has ended and i have finally opened up a halifax regular saver (thansk sm & gem) in which i will pay £25 per month and cannot touch it for 12months... at the end of 12months halifax will filter it in to a web saver in which my regular saver will start again... not including interest which at present is fixed at 7.00% AER for a year would give me a pay out of £300.00 next sep/october... however this money i am not counting, to me it will be 'forgotten money' and i shall keep paying into it for a few years to produce a little cash that is secret to me :rotfl: so with all the changes this is the outcome ~

Income ~ £770.00

Bills ~ £353.50/£363.50 (depending as one bill is 3 monthly)
Savings ~ £269.00 (christmas savings £20, holiday savings 1 £112, holiday savings 2 £112, Halifax £25)
Spends ~ £124.50

Income ~ all above = +£23.00/+£13.00
