Done everything on my list today.
Tomorrow will be a duvet day with my dad and sister.
Might try and get coursework done
EDIT:
I got paid today so I sat down and worked out
my budget. I used the 50% 30% 20% method to do it as
It gives me leeway to andd what i need to to each section.
So I've budgeted
£70.90 for repayments
£67.40 for myself / christmas
£48.70 for savings though once I talk to my mum about opening an emergency savings account this will probably be halved so half goes into savings and half goes into emergency fund if i do open up an account.
I split the £22.60 so that £11.30 extra is for myself/christmas and the other £11.30 is for savings tin.
So it's not acutally 50% 30% 20% but its just a guidence :PSavingsRepayment: £0/£359.00
