ooooooooooooooh a confession!!!!

However hun, if you've got a holiday budget, and you're going to be spending out of that, instead of your every day monthly wage then you're not really spending money since you've had it allocated to be spent.....

See if you can get the boyfriend to pay for food too

Not sure whether or not I'll be able to get him to pay given that he has more debts than me and I earn a lot more than him. It's times like this that I love the fact that I have several savings accounts allocated for different things (presents, christmas, car, house, holidays and my rainy day fund). Hopefully by Christmas there will be enough in the Christmas account to pay for all the presents (not that I need to get that many anyway), plus any additional food that we need etc etc.

Organisation and careful planning pays dividends!

I'm currently creating my new spreadsheet adjusted for new costings.....

My days off are so eventful...
Another two rounds of washing up to get through yet, but spreadsheets are proving much more exciting!

Hows the new flat CAFCGirl?

CAFCGirl

New flat could do with a bit of a clean if I'm honest lol

Everything in unpacked and the places looks............... lived in lol

and I'm enjoying it if I'm honest, it's nice to be a bit more contained.

Really should motivate myself to do.......... well something I've been sat on MSE and messenger since I got up and have only done the washing up!!
Ah well stops me from spending money I guess!
