Hi everyone, back on the board after a a block of nights....well its a week since payday and ive not been the best but i have kept to budget so far. Only 3 weeks till next payday. I should only owe my student loan then!! I have to do this but its really hard! The urge to spend!
But how can i keep going? Ive relapsed buying a few treats, sweeties and bits but the next 3 weeks are going to be very hard. I have uni tomo and am meeting my friend to study for the day. But i have to not spend much money tomo if possible, i have only about £2 left for this week in my budget! I dont want to come across a big tight person, but i really want to do this, and i dont know if anyone else agrees but this is the way i have to do it. Watch everything i spend, and so the little relapses wont be so bad.
Looking up from sunday i am working at a temporary control room for 10 weeks and get 6.50 allowance for food. I have to buy it first though and then claim it back at the end of the month which is a bummer. So ill use my CC and pay off in full when the expenses come through. This is a good thing i can get lots of treats and so in my new monthly budget save some money.
So thats me, How is everyone else doing? Any good ideas for saving more money? Motivational tips? How has everyones month gone so far?
