    Spending yesterday:

    £3.69 on a present for a friend
    £1.05 on a cup of tea (essential)
    £1.50 on cake (baking for sale at work, for charity)

    I'm potentially going to Costco tonight as there are offers on I want to take advantage of, but there's been snow overnight so I want to see what the weather looks like first.

    I've checked, and my credit card balance is at zero again, so I'm definitely getting the hang of spending on it and then paying it off. I used to be bad at forgetting to transfer money over then getting in a pickle! I'm paying it off weekly at the moment - I'm not quite organised enough for doing that monthly :D
