    I've got wine in and wished it was still in the shop. You have been saved from yourself :)
    Enjoy your curry

    So today I have done a new SOA based on now savings and a budget, I have Just checked the bank and £110 to come out of a £280 Balance.

    I have opened a new Piggy Bank £1.00 lol as well

    So will use the £170 to get me to payday.

    So back at Square 1 and starting again :-) Will have to redo the SOA as not adding up right or it could be me.

    All shall be well .

    That looks like a very finely balanced budget to me. Good luck getting the sessions set up.
  • We have had a major family crisis so trying to keep all on the positive luckily we have been able to resolve with my savings.

    Life is more important than money and I do have so much to be grateful for.

    Oh sorry to hear things are difficult Sam - but glad that you are in a position where you could resolve it. Please do get yourself counselling and also, don't set your budget too harshly - you will be able to find ways to improve it later on and you are in a much better position than you started.

  • Just checked all supplies and ok until payday bar the odd bit of milk . So I will have to be very strict and just take the milk money with me lol

    Gas is 30 in credit so that is a plus.

    I have given up on 3bay sales due to the stress levels at present but knowing me this could all change.

    Happy Sunday shuffle - for those that are shuffling.
