    Spends today:

    £8.49 crafty items (oops...)
    £1.05 cup of tea (got the final loyalty stamp on my card so a freebie tomorrow)

    So, we're finishing the day with:

    Purse - £20 from Mr Mooo
    Spends/food account - £23.34
    Bills - £181.34

    Not looking too bad given that it's payday tomorrow. As I am very bad, I forgot to submit timesheets to Fat Club (paid helper) for a couple of....erm...months so tomorrow is a bumper pay. I normally get about £30 but am getting over £100 :j Some is getting allocated to my London/weekend away fund and the rest added to the pot in case of additional expenses.

    I went and registered with the new agency tonight. They seem *much* better than the current one I'm with and the lady I met was very complementary about my CV and experience. She's putting me forward for a fixed term job and recommending me for some much better paid temp work. Hopefully something will come together soon.

    It's payday :D

    I've received:

    Wages: £206.65
    Fat Club wages: £107.88

    £136 has gone to the bills account, leaving it with a balance of £317.34. I've transferred £27.06 to my weekend away account and now have £250 in there. I'm keeping the balance at that level and anything that goes in there above that is going towards my next weekend away in April :D

    So, the week begins as:

    Cash - £20
    Bills - £317.34
    Spending/food - £174.81

    I might use the excess to go to Costco and stock up the freezer, b but first I need to figure out what's in there...:eek:
