Still having money troubles. I seem to spend far more than I earn. I think i'm going to have to go back to logging everything again. It's not even as if I have much to show for it!

A job for Friday night i think. I have around 800 pounds for the rest of this month. this has to include money for mortgage etc..however di I end up in this state? I did ok until about 4 months ago, and then it all seemed to go pear-shaped. I should be able to cut down on my grocery bill, since i am now buying pasta and veggies instead of ready meals.

My biggest expense is petrol, and i can't cut down on that. I'm not going to buy any books or magazines, and i'm not planning on going out the rest of this month (well Gym, but that's paid for).

I don't buy canned drinks at work anymore, nor do i buy chocolate. I buy a meal less than 2 pounds for lunch. Today i went to sainsburys and had one of their small (they call them medium) salad bowls (1.50) and a tracker bar (far too nutty for me, won't get again) which was 45p. I also stocked up on 40p noodles and some instant soups (it's so cold at work, and the soup in the machines are dreadful).

I'm also going to go and visit my grandparents this weekend. I might get them a new phone with big numbers on it, so it is really easy to use. Maybe even one with number store so that they don't have to try typing in my mobile number.
