    Right...

    PLAN!!!
    1. Cut Ste's card up into millions of pieces and then burn them to make a point. (lol)
    2. Get actual balance of the citi card
    3. Get the bits done on the car ASAP and work out how much is going to be left over and how much extra we need to save to pay for the car tax.
    4. Re-Jig the budget
    5. Work out how long it's going to take to pay off Citi to get us back on track.
    New fancy pants weekly budget to [STRIKE]punish Ste[/STRIKE] save more money :rotfl:

    £102 tc every weds
    [STRIKE]£12[/STRIKE] £32 saved.
    Ste [STRIKE]£20[/STRIKE]£10
    Sar [STRIKE]£10[/STRIKE]£0
    Food £50
    Petrol £10

    = £128 saved in August....
    + £120.80 child benefit
    + £91 extra from wages

    = £339.80

    Obviously that's not taking into account ebay, car tax etc and anything left over out of the budgets will go into saving too... we'll see how we get on. :)

    Right off to find things to ebay..

    Much as I like Ste (I mean, he did the 'pants dance' for me after all....:D), you've been left with nothing because of his PS3? Doesn't seem very fair.
    Couldn't you manage to find a fiver for yourself at least? Or maybe you get the first £10 of any eBay money? Just a bit worried about you being left with nothing at all hon.

    I'll shut me gob now! ;)

    Step one is definately a good idea then Steve won't be tempted to "need" any more gadgets for a while. Could have been worse though - you could have had a PS3 and a drum kit on there by now:rolleyes: :rolleyes:
    Good Luck getting back on track, you are still doing really well.:T

    Oh and i agree with snaggles and PaP - you should have something for yourself, its hard work running a home and being a mum, dealing with pnd and sorting out debts, as well as keeping us dfw's entertained.
