    Viewing your cash float as a line of credit that you can dip into and repay is a really bad idea.
    Absolutely. Because remember, on the day you leave (or possibly earlier, they could ask for this AT ANY TIME) you'll be expected to return that £200, less anything for which you have VALID receipts.

    Life will be so much simpler if you get yourself a separate wallet or purse, put the WORK cash in there, only spend it on WORK expenses, and put all the WORK receipts in there immediately.

    I know it's slightly different for me because I have a company credit card, but it's a disciplinary offence for me to use that card for anything which is not a valid work expense. However if I had a cash float I would treat it the same way.
