    Bills account - £391.32 (reduction due to mobile bill)
    Food account - £31.83 (increase due to arrival of Amazon money) Won't be using all of this, and am hoping to start building a surplus up for future bulk-shopping needs!
    Purse - £1.98

    The last Friday of the month is this Friday, so adding my usual £136 will take the bills account to £527.32. Before the end of the month the mortgage, power and home insurance debits will come out, leaving me with a remainder of £245.93 to start the month with. That's just over half the total of my normal monthly bills, and next month is a council tax free month, so I'm starting off pretty well.

    Well done on being able to start next month with a credit balance, must be a relief x

    No dramatic changes to the pennies overnight apart from the mortgage coming out of the bills account which nearly gave me heart failure :eek: Have double checked my maths and will still be starting February in the position I thought, so it's all good!

    Heading to town after work tonight to meet a lady about a job - it's another temp position but with the potential to go permanent and it's for a lot more money than I'm getting at the moment, so cross your fingers and toes please! Tonight I'm registering with this particular agency and she's sending my information over to the recruiting company so hopefully they like the look of me...think happy thoughts please :D
