    If you dont know where the money is going then its time to find out. Start keeping a spending diary. Note down everything that spend for at least a week and preferablly a month and you will see how much those cups of Coffee at Tea Break and that Odd Sandwich and Bar of Choc really are costing you over the month ;)

    Hi Crown,

    You are so right, I really need to know what's going on and the only way is to write everything down. I take so much notice on going to Tesco's and writing my list so I don't over spend but don't think about when my work mates persuade me to chip in for a take away, coffee etc... Can't believe I didn't think about this before.... THANK YOU!! :)
