    Hi there.

    Last week I aimed for £15 and spent £15.88. I'm a little annoyed at myself, because I went overbudget buying my kittens toys after they were spayed. i felt so guilty I spent £5 on toys, so if I hadn't, I'd have under budget.

    I'm setting myself a stricter budget this week of £8. I don't have any plans other than a couple of coffees at uni, and pilates which I've already paid for. I've already spent 4.72 of this today! I do need to get some travel sized shampoo and conditioner etc for my field trip to Paris in 10 days, but I have £5 body shop voucher and a £10 superdrug voucher, so I'm going shopping, but not spending anything....That's a challenge:p !
    March 2016 - £178,914.59; July 2017 £146,160.38
    Mortgage end Sept 2043; Target - pay off by March 2022, now Sept 2021
    Target balance July 2018 £112,560
