    Yep I have a direct debit for christmas and birthdays (£80 so far) And we don't have huge events (just Mum and Best mate) so this will cover it, I also have vouchers from various places which will bump it up a bit.

    I also set money aside for weekly spends, so should still be able to get some shopping in.
    Current debt - £16,300 :(

    Im sure you will be fine on your budget, especially now as you have something to look forward to.

    But if you do slip, dont beat yourself up. :T

    Well even if I only put £100 away then I would still be on track and I have instant access to my savings should I really need them.

    But I budget for my car so things should be good!

    Anyway I may womble off and start myself a thread... that the daily chat have it's thread back!!

    Afternoon!

    We've just got back from the hospital and Natasha has had her cast taken off. :T It has cost me a fortune - £2.20 in the hospital shop for a magazine, notepad and pen to keep Ryan occupied (forgot to take anything with me :rolleyes:), £2.40 for parking, and about £5 at McDonalds at lunch time as a reward for being so good (me and Natasha shared a fishfinger happy meal and Ryan had a cheesburger one).

    She's now trying to walk on it, but has no strength in it at all, so she's clinging to the sofa for dear life, with her leg shaking and wobbling under her! Is she giving up though? Is she hell!! :D
