    Sunday - £6.14
    Monday - £6.41
    Tuesday - £2.45

    £15/£15 + £21.10 so far

    Basically - I bought a chair and some chocolate to make my OH's easter egg which are technically budgeted items, but I feel so bad about it because they aren't actually bills, that I have decided to repay my bank account out of my PayPal account.

    So the remaining PayPal balances are going towards those purchases. I did make money on ebay this week so I intend to list more and stop myself from feeling so guilty. :o
