My first month in numbers

Right. So here’s the breakdown. At the point where I went food-crazy and started buying all sorts of stuff, I wasn’t actually over by that point!! If only I’d kept better track, I could have known!

£22.37 OVER!!!


That's pretty rubbish. So a lot was on food, which I'm going to stop doing. Promise. And a LOT was on transportation. Plus, I didn't realise how much I spent around gigs--not on entrance, but on just being tempted while I'm out. Thanks goodness I don't drink! That would be disastrous.


Right. So THIS month, I need to not fail. At the very least, not fail so badly.

Stupid Megan.

But think about how much you would have spent if your friend hadn't had a baby, nor if Mac's mum had her 50th birthday. You spent 36.50 on those two combined. Just think that it won't be EVERY month that your mother-in-law (!!!) has a birthday, or a friend of yours has a baby! So really, without those "irregularities," you were really under by 14 pounds!!!! Think about it that way.

That's true.... Although wait to you see where I'm at THIS month!
