Hey everyone....
I got some tax credits. So I transferred £100 back into Xmas fund (hoping to put another bit into it get it back up) and I paid another £50 to loan. the tax credits is less than what I used to get but I am sooo not complaining
.
I am now budgeting for rest the month and day before payday what I have left (I am thinking will be £100) I will have and put into Xmas fund and other into overdraft
20 days until payday and 28 days until tax credit (I dont know if last payment of it but will have my new letter soon)
I will also be adding money when I have change to my sons birthday savings. His hall and castle is £65 and hiring another bigger castle at £60. The decorations will be my vouchers to cover those costs. Presents will be from savings
Have a great weekend all I am going to get drunkxx
