    £10.58 overpayment towards the argos card this morning. I got a 1% payrise...:D but reality is that for every £1.00 extra I earn the housing benefit take 65% off :eek:..... (problem is I live on an Island apart from part time casual work full time work is rare we don't even have a cinema, buses stop after 6.20pm and the cost of transport is expensive) I am lucky to have 3 jobs on permanent contracts....... I need to get a life!

    Ooops forgot to do my bank skim on Sunday so £3.07 for me this week.

    Makes a grand total of £17.10 for the month, not a huge amount but just a bit here and there every week helps.

    AWOL for a few weeks - everyone is doing amazing work!

    End of the month under-spend for me of a whopping £100.70, all going towards my credit card.

    Next month's going to be expensive with friend's weddings and a couple of family trips, but much better to have some of the cc paid off and tighten my belt for May.

    (Jaxsmar - no cinema? That's such a vice for me!)
