    I hope you've managed to get a bed.

    I agree with others your diary is not boring. I think it always helps to read about other people's struggles, you get a perspective on life that's reality and not the DM or tabloid version. Also there are always people around for venting or support x

    It is important that we know where we come from, because if you do not know where you come from, then you do not know where you are, and if you don't know where you are, then you don't know where you are going. If you don't know where you're going, you're probably going wrong.

    Debt
    Council Tax £0
    Credit card £0
    Rent arrears £0
    Court Costs £494

    Total £494


    Bank Balance now £50.28

    I'm thinking for 3 days
    [STRIKE]£54 for school + £2 Snack[/STRIKE] This was £63!!
    £24 for dinner for smalls for the 3 evenings (looked and it's at least £4 each - will take juice and use tap water for drinks)
    £10 coffee (1 a day) Shouldn't be budgeting this really
    £15 Not sure about dinner for me, will try to grab toast I think but £5 a day should more than cover 'something'

    £27 Travel - hoping to taxi to school but walk back and then walk to collect and taxi back - I will make it the smalls won't that early/late! Could be more this :o


    Okay so school was more than I thought at £63! Also £5 on taxi plus £2.90 on a coffee (I'm drinking right now!) Which means I have £29.10 left of what I'd drawn out. :o :cool:
