I am also trying to get to payday with a little saved, so far £70 has been moved to a separate account.

Well done ETO - hopefully not too long till payday for you!

And on the petrol front.....I was watching Martin's show last week when they were testing fuel efficiency on cars. He said that NOT filling the car up makes it more efficient because it weighs less - kind of made sense. He's very clever our Martin :money:

Well I was hopeful of not spending anything else today but I realised I've run out of bread and I didn't have anything in to eat that was quick and convenient so I bought a loaf of fresh bread for £0.50 at ASDA, a packet of Rich Tea (SmartPrice) for £0.23, a pea and mint dip reduced to £0.16 and a bag of carrot batons reduced for £0.10.

Meaning £29.93 / £30.00

Things aren't looking too shabby but I'm confident I can do it xx

Tuesday - NSD :j
Wednesday - £3.15

Total £18.64/£50.00

Next week I am dealing only in cash. I'm fed up of debit card transactions taking forever to show on my bank statement online (small bugbear of mine, I KNOW I put in £34 of fuel, so why is it still pending 7 days later??)

I like to deal in cash as much as poss too. I find it too easy to hand my card over and lose track of what I've spent which is why I used to have my weekly money in my bedside drawer, and even though I have my new account I will be withdrawing cash weekly I think.

I know there are some things that have to be purchased on card but it is so frustrating when items don't now quickly. Our pram payment was taken and then it showed as pending again, which was frustrating as we then couldn't spend from the account without going into the overdraft. :mad:

Spends so far

£64.86 / £40 ooops.

Kind of lost track of my daily spends, I haven't done my little weekly top up shop this week which has resulted in me popping to the local t*sco too many times. But have had a NSD today. :j

Payday today but trying not to dip in until Sunday.

Well £2.30 spent today on a lovely school dinner.:) My OH owed me £5 but only had a £10 note so i gladly handed him my £5 in exchange. I then potted it in my sealed pot so i am left with a grand total of £2 think he has been in my pocket lol as i should have £3.70 !! He doesn't like me keeping an eye on my spending lol. It will soon be sunday.
£16.30/ £20
