misstara's debt diary 2014

I had a lovely afternoon with my gran, what a beautiful day. This evening I have been catching up on the washing and ironing. OH is currently out with friends so I'm enjoying the peace and quiet.

Today ended up being a NSD as OH bought milk and I decided that the rest could wait for another day.

When I was doing the ironing, I was thinking that I could really do with a new ironing board cover as the one I have is so thin that sometimes I iron the metal pattern underneath onto clothes I had a quick look at Arg*s and can get a kettle and ironing board cover for around £20 so will hopefully be able to work that into the budget tomorrow once I've been paid.

Payday today and I got £176.21
- £15 lunch today
- £15 weekly savings
- £12 contact lens
- £16 broadband
- £30 food
- £20 wedding savings
- £20 electricity bill
- £10 emergency fund
- £18.21 loan payment
- £20 kettle/ironing board cover
I will use the money OH gives me to buy travel tickets for our weekend away.

When my usual loan payment goes out in a few days time, I will be into the 5s :T

Spends for today are £20.60 on lunch oops wee bit over budget but was very yummy and lovely to spend time with my friend. OH gave me £20 so spent £18.50 on travel tickets for our weekend away.

Not much to report from today, spent £8.99 on food. Will still need to go a proper food shop at some point but that will do us for the next few days.

Thanks Steph . I still haven't quite got round to closing the account but it's on my to do list.

Today my usual loan payment went out so that's me into the 5s and sitting at almost 44% paid :T slowly inching towards 50%. I have also been to the gym and been food shopping, spent £16.98. Shouldn't need anything else so hopefully will have a few NSDs.

Phoned 2nd job earlier as I only have one shift with them this week, however, they didn't have any shifts. Trying not to stress out about it as I'm sure something will come up.

misstara

A NSD today I have managed to pick up a shift tomorrow with 2nd job so feel a bit less stressed.

Today has been another NSD and I went to the gym after work. Tomorrow I need to buy a present for my friends wee boy but I have some money in the present fund for that.

I got my payslip through today so will get £130.14 on Friday. I'm going out for a meal and drinks with friends on Friday so will need to budget something for that. I will also need to pay £40 at some point soon for hen weekend activities but will probably take the money out of the 52 week savings.
