    My 5 ebay sales totalled over £25, so enough to pay my uni book, postage and ebay fees, think I may even have a few pounds left over..

    Spent £9 in asda today. I am going to count all the money I spend on food this month to see where it all goes... I am 100% sure this is where I waste lots of money.

    Partner wants to go to the cinema tonight, but I am already wondering if I actually want to pay the ridiculous amount for a 3d film, juice etc...

    My garden is an absolute disgrace so going to spend some money this month making it look a bit more acceptable.

    Possible £30ish pounds. The only payment i still need to make this month is £50 towards council tax, then anything else is a bonus :)

    We all need to have some fun.

    Wont be making any extra payments this week, just booked that long weekend away, no self restraint..

    However, feel I have put soooo much effort into debt-busting that I was becoming a workoholic with no social life..
    This will make up for all the nights out I havent had since March.

    Then back to serious saving :)
