10 months in and 90 left to go ... the reality is starting to kick in :)

I don't think £50 will cut it somehow lol ... But it will be a good start

And a start is what I need to get this new conundrum sorted

elantan

Well another £50 earned from overtime, although tbh right now I just want my bed as I'm shattered

Could overtime money go towards the holiday? then it's not coming out the proper budget IYSWIM....

elantan

Yep I might do something like that ... Make my overtime seem like I'm getting something new for doing it rather than paying for something old

Just had mr el asking about treats ... So I've reminded him he insisted he didn't want any so none have been budgeted for for this month, he has said well we deff need it for next month then, to which I am in full agreement

Got a 14.5 hr shift tomorrow, am feeling tired as ive only had a few hours sleep so that I can sleep tonight, I feel like a zombie

elantan

Doing a 14.5 hr shift today, am so shattered after the night in Friday, but needs must ... An extra £75 for the pot at least

Oh my, don't envy you the 14.5 hour shift!

Hope the day passes quickly.

Glad Mr El understands the treats budget now! Things should easier to manage now you are both in agreement

Hubby has just spent £5 on shopping , taking the total so far spent in shopping to £49 so only £1 less than the £50 planned but still having to make up for the £9 overspent last week taking us £8 on overspend this week ( but at least no chinese or wine bought thi week) so ....

How do I get this £8 back ... Hmmmmmm

elantan

so today it's shopping day again ( we went late last week as we had the theatre on the monday)

i have a slightly better shopping list made this time so fingers crossed there wont be any more slip ups

i'm night shift all this week as well and i am shattered after the long day yesterday and the night on friday so could really see it far enough tbh

ach well it's all pennies for the pot
