Well didn't spend as much as I thought at the weekend because I left my bank card a home by accident - so OH ended up subing me but it meant I could offer lots of people a drink but did get bought quiet a few!!

It was a good course and in the long term - if I practise - should get me more work. So well worth the spend.

I'm aiming to only spend £40 for the rest of the week - there is no food in the house at the moment so need to do a shop.

Good morning everyone
Aiming for a NSD - I'm not going to take my purse onto campus so that should do the trick! hope everyone else has a good day.

Hi Debty Betty- that's an extortianant , apologies for spelling mistake, interest rate. I hope you are trying to move your debt to another card as soon as possible- like Martin advises- cripes. Its too easy to get caught out sometimes- it happened to me a year or so back- I've been more careful card tarting since then. Once bitten etc, etc but its a hard lesson to learn. Remember to sign up to Martins warning email/text when you get another 0%, Bt's are more difficult but I would think that even paying a 2/3% fee might save you money in the long run. Don't lose hope.

Well I went on my course and the train fare cost £16.20 which seems like a total rip to me... if I were driving it would take about 40 mins and by train it took almost 2 hour, with 1 change... anyways I paid cash for the train and now have the ticket pinned to my board so that I can submit it at end of month and not miss out.

My phone bill has been paid and I am all on track with rest of budget.

Didn't have to pay at dentist as the treatment isn't over yet... need to go back in a week or so to get it finally finally sorted. Am most thankful that I am no longer in any pain.

Have booked for my tesco shop to be delivered on Tuesday and the total stands at £75 but I will tweak it so that it is around £50. Am using a code which will get me 1000 clubcard points or £40 in deals which is a great deal!

Am going to have to spend out £15 for a taxi home after work tomorrow which isn't great but have agreed to do an extra 4 hours which I can have the money for or the time back... I will think on about this.

I will need to spead a few pennies in a supermarket picking a few bits to see me through til Tuesday but all is good in my world!
