I realise that it looks like PBS is doing all the spending here, but it's not like that. We're just logging based on who does the transaction. It's all the same money.

Oh! Completely forgot to report that yesterday I applied for the FirstDirect account that pays £150 for joining! I was accepted and so should be switching banks in the next few weeks. I intend to open the linked 6% regular saver and use it for future planned expenditure, like a holiday or a car.

Train ticket - £7.80
Coffee and a biscuits and croissants and hot chocolates for the kids - £10.50

This latter was because swimming was cancelled and I needed to kill some time before taking them home as ATS was prepping the house for DD's birthday party.

Really proud a what a great job ATS made of DD's party. She loved it, all the kids had a great time. He really worked his socks off. I'll let him post the spends as I don't really know how much he forked out.

I paid for parking on Saturday night (see above, £10.50) and it hasn't shown up in my bank statement yet...Maybe they forgot?

I *think* that's everything....

Got paid today - did the money hokey-cokey. £850 to savings, £600 for bills and budgeted outgoings. The rest swallowed up because I was already in my overdraft. Will do better on this next month.
