Evening everyone

New thread here.

Hope to see you all over there.

I haven't set my budget yet. Have a few things planned so need to think about it carefully, as I have £200 in my account until the end of the month, but am really wanting to have money left to go into my maternity leave pot.

Ps this money is for food, petrol, nails and anything else that crops up.

Thank you, feeling quite pleased with myself and relieved.

Just got to stay away from my next account. It frustrates me that I can't pay by card with next, it has to be on account, but i need to be disciplined and pay it off immediately if I do buy anything. My credit card has been empty since Nov, so I'm happy I can stay away from that.

I had budgeted for buying tickets to DD's latest production (£22)....but she decided to withdraw to focus on her exams. Good news for my budget and her results :rotfl::rotfl:

It means I'm lovely and green £16.45 / £50 - even if I had bought the tickets. See you next week's thread :A

Oh dear, I went over budget because I had to buy coffee for a visitor at work. I guess I shouldn't have bought one for myself at the same time

My spending:

• 7.45 groceries in Asda
• 1.29 emergency chocolate due to stress of talking to creditors
• 2.35 coffee and tea

Total = 11.09/10.00

I did make £10 by taking part in a research study though so I came out okay overall:)
