    Managed to pay £76.33 to my credit card this morning (Woo!) so the outstanding balance is now £88.01.

    Money stands like this:

    Spends/Food - £100
    Purse - £13.52
    Bills - £514.60

    The bill for the roof repairs came through and was "only" £132 so that's been taken from my savings account and the cheque for it has been given to my neighbour.

    Thank Crunchie it's Friday too...!

    Another boring money post, but they help to keep me right!

    Bills - £289.63
    Spends/Food - £40
    Credit card balance - £153.05
    Available to pay it - £74.99
    Balance outstanding - £78.06

    Each time I spend on my credit card (I use it for all my food shopping) I am transferring the rounded amount to the account I keep the money in until payment is due. So if I spend £5.25 I transfer £6. I'l keep rounding up as and when I can and will transfer bigger sums when I'm able.

    Nowt else to report, just plodding along :D

    Payday cometh and the plod continues.

    I've just withdrawn money from my savings for the credit card as the statement came in and I do NOT want interest to be charged.

    Money:

    Spends/Food - £80
    Purse - Pocketfluff and broken dreams
    Bills - £326.10

    Maths:

    Current bills account balance: £326.10
    Three more Friday paydays in March: £420
    Total: £746.10

    Rough bills to debit: £419 (No council tax in March)
    Bus pass to pay for: £51.75

    Leftover for April: £275.35

    There is one more Friday payday at the end of March, but I'm keeping that one all for myself as I budget on a four-weekly basis. It feels like free money!
