    I have decided that I am going to use the two month gap in football season ticket break to put towards the Argos Card. It have a 0% interest balance, but I figured I can pay this down while I have the £33.18 for two months.

    I've also paid off £300 to my CC plus £300 to the wedding fund. I have £586 worth of direct debits to go out. The rest I have is for myself but I'm hoping I have enough left at the end of the month to throw it at the CC or into the wedding fund.

    I also had £40 left over in cash. I spent £15 on a night out last night (one drink and taxi home), so I put 2 £1 coins into my jar. i have £25 which I will spend on my niece for her birthday.

    I have £5.45 on PA with £1 pending. I will build it up this month and then will withdraw it and send it to my Wedding fund afterwards.

    I'm waiting for my OH £400 for the wedding fund and my parents will also send £100 mid-way through the month :D

    Spent a grand total of £1.88 today on a drink and some crisps. Resisted the urge to buy clothes for holiday as I'm going clothes shopping over the bank holiday :D

    Just completed two surveys on PA so I have another £3 pending. I have £5.63 balance and £3.80 pending, not bad so far!

    Popped over to pick up some mid-week bits from shopping e.g yogurt, strawberries, salad. Why is eating healthy so expensive compared to junk food?

    I also cancelled my subscription to my protein (£24.99 for the month) I have managed to find a cheaper one that will be better for me and will last a longer period. I will order it when all my direct debits go out and I know where I stand,
