Getting much better at organising my budget.

Whereas I'm getting much worse.

Absolutely smashed my budget again this week, after posting i was green. Lol.

It's the groceries that are getting me. It's a nightmare. And the odd treat for our little man.

Very red again this week. :eek:

New plan. I always seem to have one.

I have a monthly budget for misc spends, groceries, petrol, nails, haircut which I move into a separate account, and take out a weekly amount for each of these things, but it leaves me very little for any extras, I have a savings account which has money for when my maternity pay stops but I keep dipping into it.

So new plan, keep moving my monthly budget across to my account, but somewhere try to eek out x amount to spend guilt free on the little man, birthdays etc. Here comes a day or two of trying to rejig my budgets.

Didn't spend anything at the 40th last night and drove home on petrol fumes to avoid going into the red!

Defintitely need to spend today though - I'm off to this week's thread to update :T
