    Aww thanks everyone!

    I'm having a nice relaxing couple of days, a friend has come to stay and I was really good yesterday, she suggested dinner and I said I'd got some bits in and cooked us a really nice dinner for roughly £5! Saved me a lot on going out.

    We're out in town today but Im aiming to be well behaved again and I might even come home with a little non-mse surprise for you all!

    As for Ebay, 3 out of 6 items have got bids and I've now got 27 watchers overall, so hoping for a good run on those hopefully. If I can get £25 (excluding P&P) out of the lot I'll be dead chuffed!

    9 days till payday, I'm still within my overdraft limit and all I technically need is food!

    And here it is folks!

    Outgoings
    Rent £525
    Council Tax £76
    Utilities £50
    Groceries £80
    Treat Money £40 (Unnecessary Challenge)
    Sky £18
    Telephone/BroadBand £35
    Mobile £20
    Paying back Mum £250

    So in total thats £1094

    Incoming
    £1143

    That gives me £49 which gets lost somewhere :rolleyes: I happen to think its on food....:o

    Now that obviously doesnt include anything I get extra like mystery shops, of which I typically have one a month at least £10...nor does it include ebay, or quidco. Simply because I cant rely on these things from month to month, unfortunately!:rotfl:

    I've got my excuses already, for the one thing that I know I could do withouth which is sky. But my argument on that is. I dont go out, I dont drink, I dont buy dvds/cds anymore.... whereas without it I'd revert to spending a fortune on these things.....

    And there it is! :A

    Cmon people!!!!

    Help me squeeze that bad boy SOA dry!

    On a plus note, I've sold a jacket on ebay for £25 :) And still got a few other littler bits listed. Will hope for some decent sales there too. I always refuse to transfer money from paypal until its got to £50 to cut back on the fees :)

    Am I the only one that does that?!

    Do you keep a spending diary to see where that £49 goes? If not, perhaps you should start one?
