    I have tried to today but I still spent £4 in the supermarket :o
    They had a load of reduced bits so I stocked up on stuff I didn't buy at the weekend :)
    Found out DD needs a tenner for a school trip :mad: luckily my Dad owed me a tenner so that wiped that straight out :(

    As soon as I get any money there's always a hand out to take it :rotfl:

    Hey DB :)
    It would be if I didn't sneak on here before I go bed :D
    Found a £10 supermarket gift card I forgot I had (pizza promotion) so popped to the shops and bought some much needed food essentials (milk, cheese, bread etc..) to last us till the weekend and treated myself to a bottle of coke :)
    Goodnight diary :) I promise I'll try to be really good with money tomorrow :D

    :eek: I managed to miscalculate on my spreadsheet how much money we have till payday.
    I've been entering the figures rounded up to the next £ so my spreadsheet shows we have £17 less than what the bank account actually states :j

    Unfortunately I've just red the red line on my spreadsheet (which is credit card spending) as we've used the card for fuel, clothes shopping and eating out at Mc Ds and it totals £200 :mad: so I shall be paying that off on the 4th straight away.
    So glad DH gets his bonus in 33 days :j
