I know its awful. They were quite consistant and I could look at my petrol needed and guess to the £1 how much it will take to fill but the last two weeks I have got it wrong :eek: Checking the recipets its the unit cost

I use roughly 20-25 litres a week, that's usually around £30 for my diesel but I think it'll hit £35 before I go off on leave in June!0

Thats a lot isn't it Sparkles! I am unsure how many litres I get/use, I will have to let you know.
So budget :j
480.10 in bank tom
£150 car ins (out tomorrow)
£145 bills (saves for 15th)
£50.00 CC (paying on the 8th)
£53.00 Rent
= 398.00
= 82.10 remain
However, I am not in work now until next weekend and will only get SSP :(Its only 4 days work I shall miss but my wage will not be good and will effect next Friday and the Friday afters pay. No good working while sick though!
Take care all

Gah, somehow I failed to subscribe (probably because I did it from my phone, which isn't the most reliable beast!). Done now.
Hope you are well again very soon, but you're right about not working if you're too ill to.
You are so good at keeping your finances in check. I have come to the conclusion recently that I am great at organising mine, but much less good at sticking to the things I organise! Fortunately, thanks to the wonders of direct debit, I don't miss payments, but if I had to do it all manually...:eek:I'm a Money and Debt Adviser for a homelessness and housing charity in Scotland. If you have any questions about debt management and debt relief under Scots Law, just ask.The pain you feel today is the strength you feel tomorrow.0 -
Many thanks Beanie and Snaggs :j
Lol at your organising but not remembering to pay Snaggs. I must admit I too would be lost if I had to pay bills and remember to pay them. I suppose you would find a way but its a lot of hassle. Thank heavens for direct debits
I am unsure how I am going to pay my bills this month now! I have £80 left this week, next week I should get paid 22 hours plus 1 day SSP (£11), the following week I will get 3 days SSP (£33) plus 13 hours. So approx £152.90 and £116.85. So I should technically have enough if I delay my rent payments and maybe put one weeks of fuel on my CC. I have had to go back to 'normal' eating as there is no way I can afford to go shopping. Thankfully I don't need anything and I will be fine until I am back to work.
