    phew what have i been up to ? well nothing really, in fact nothing at all, been working crazy shifts and feel shattered.com but am managing to survive, am nights all weekend then again on Tuesday night so really its going to be Thursday before i get a break.

    Have been keeping an eye on the finances, nothing much is happening at all though, i havn't had any Tilly Tidies for days ( i miss them) but i have been logging all spends and income in my new book, i think it will take me a wee while to get on top of the way i want to do this book but i think i will like it, sadly it will only take me to the pennies not the parts of pennies ... maybe i should learn to do spread sheets lol

    The book i have has space for 27 headings, i thought before i bought it that i would have too many spaces but i think i have just made it.

    Have decided to divide the finances into the following headlines

    In
    Out
    Wages
    Extra money ( this is for the interest from accounts and halifox etc)
    Interim savings ( for the Tilly tidies etc)
    Savings
    Expenditure
    Shopping
    Clothes
    Eating out/take aways
    Fun ( theatre/cinema etc)
    Diesel
    Car repairs
    Work ( Mr el take £10 a week for work money)
    Insurance
    Endowment
    Council tax
    T.V Phone and broadband
    Mobile
    Gas & Elec
    Pension ( still working out what i am doing here but have a current plan of action)
    ISA ( both cash and stocks and shares ISA)
    Holiday
    Home and Garden ( repairs etc)
    Mortgage
    Misc
    Total

    i think i have covered everything but if you can think of anything i havn't covered please feel free to say

    i have to try and get back onto my blog but have had not had time or energy sadly
