At my 2nd job today :money: . Going away for 4 days tomorrow, not at all :money:seeing as I should never have booked it. £4 spent yesterday on bits of food needed to get us through till we go away in the morning. I do not intend spending money on holiday tat. All meals are included in holiday, maybe just a coffee and a very lite bite at luch time. I would like to bring 2 small token gifts to bring back, nothing exspensive and maybe something for my garden, which I love.

Back from Amsterdam. Thats the last of my unplanned spending done. Now all ahead is planned spending. Did not spend all of £££ I took with me

Nice surprise when I came back. Email from EDF. MY payment dropped from148 to 76 a month. I have now cleared my arrears and on ordinary payments. They will recalculate next year when see what I have used this winter. :j

Have quite a few extra shift in at work, as covering holiday but this means I cant do my partime job. Part time job is better pay but not garanteed, so maybe full time extra the better choice. I can worked ahead calculate my pay and know what I will definatley get.

I have sort of a loose menu plan. I can do better but ive got a bit of structure. DH is not a fussy eating, he will east most things.

I have set up a couple of extra accounts on my online banking. For savings ect. Not sure to put in where yet. I am thinking of drawing all of my food and household items money out of the bank and putting it in a seperate purse. Then just working out of that "House Keeping purse".

£s
Planned spending for today. New tyre for my car as its borderline legal ! and a loaf of bread. I have all meals planned using stuff I had in.

I have decided what my new bank accounts will named. I have read that 10% of your wages is a good place to start saving . BUT seems a lot when I have debt to clear. So will have to give that a bit of thought.

Savings
Household Items (large)
Dog (as not insured)
Holidays
