    Busy making a spreadsheet for this may challenge im thinking up for myself...making myself a budget for petrol, mobile and general spends (not including my bills because they are all already accounted for!) and im gonna keep the cash in my seperate current account and only carry that card when i need it. Keeping a spending diary and gonna try and get as many freebies as possible, also gonna give £10 a day a big kick in May!
