Didnt quite stick to my budget.....

Sun 15/01 - NSD (Went to gym for 1 hour and free jacuzzi after!)
Mon 16/01 - £15 Food Shop (I have been buying food weekly so need to get some bits for the week and also need to get my fussy cat some food)
Tues 17/01 - NSD
Weds 18/01 - NSD
Thurs 19/01 - NSD
Fri 20/01 - NSD
Sat 21/01 - £20 - Planned night-out with my two bestest friends (much needed due to feeling very down in the dumps this month). Will walk into town instead of getting taxi and share a bottle of wine to save cost) Ended up getting a taxi and drunkenly spending £15 on my card..... (£35 night-out ouch!)
Sun 22/01 - £15 - Cat food and cat litter

= £50/£40. Its useful to see that most of my money is spent on food - food budget will help next month. Lets try it again....
