    Oi! :rotfl:

    We might have to sell the plants - the budget is blown!

    Overspend - £96.30 while in London. £45 of that was because I got a giftcard for Christmas which should have worked in Pizza Express but their systems wouldn't let it go through even though I could show them the £50 balance on the card on my phone :( I'd said I would pay for dinner as the friend I was meeting is skint, so t hat was an unexpected extra. I could cover the overspend from my savings, but would rather just be a keen budgeteer and see how that goes, so any wee extra amounts I have will be going to my credit card for the next few weeks.

    Money:

    Spending/Food account - £82.96
    Bills - £446.11
    Purse - £29.19

    I need to get petrol today (£20 should do us for a week or two) and to go and do the top-up food shopping, but I'm hoping to keep that to £30 maximum. I haven't done a list yet, so hopefully it will be less.

    It's going to be tight belts at Mooomin Towers for a couple of weeks :D
