    I don't think I am going to reach target this month another spendy day today, and I was thinking this morning how I could make it non spendy, instead I paid for parking, I paid for breakfast bap then I paid for lunch, it is all a bit naff really I should have done a lot better.
    Missions for the rest of the year:-

    1) Build up an emergency fund (EF) 
    2) Improve spending habits.
    3) Create a budget that is compatible to me.
    4) Buy healthier snacks to avoid junk food splurges.
