Back from holiday. Had a lovely family time with lovely weather and no debt increase :j I was going to say no credit card use but I did use one for convenience/good exchange rate but I have paid it off immediately. It's going to be a cheap two weeks before payday now though! Beans on toast it is!
Back to it now - I have paid £5 into my holiday account because usually I have my nails done for my two week holiday but didn't this year because I was working up to the day we went so there was no time. Think this cost me £40 last year. I thought I would put a token £5 in because I don't have £40 spare anyway so it's a win-win!
Also payment out to barclaycard no 1 of £100.
Need to look at my overtime paid for the month when I get my payslip from work.
Need to get my stuff organised so that's it for now.

£5 cashback payable so £5 into florida account yay!
Things are slow financially what with the summer holidays. Had a nice day out today which only cost £5 for the boat ride and £5 for ice creams. Lovely.

Thanks cat lady! School holidays can be expensive can't they? Luckily we live near the sea and have lots of nice things we can do for free as long as its not raining. However, wet days are another matter! I also find reading diaries helpful and keeping my own going keeps me on the straight and narrow.

I have received my payslip finally and decided to put £20 into my holiday account. Was actually paid about £140 overtime but like usual, I needed to keep some of it in my current account. Bit frustrated but that's life I suppose. Keep plodding on x[STRIKE]Tesco 1 - £200[/STRIKE].

Payday 1 - £175 paid to barclaycard 2 - the pleasing thing is now the number begins with a 6 :j !!! It's only a modest payment and yet it feels like a milestone lol![STRIKE]Tesco 1 - £200[/STRIKE].
