Cash machine at midnight.

I was standing outside the cash machine at 12.04 am this morning, trying desperately to get out much needed funds. All in vain. The balance of 0.22 showed in flickering green light. I went home dispirited and without my food groceries.

Having got up and realising there was no milk for my morning banana smoothie I had to hot foot it to the nearest cash machine. I withdrew my whole allowance for the week (which amounts to less than a hundred pounds) and prepared to start giving my funds away for bills, meter, petrol and food. This left me with a princely sum of £27.00. I decided to allocate the reserve as follows. £7.00 to buy clay to make jewellery, £10.00 for blank CDs and DVDs so I can download music at a fraction of the cost of buying it, as music really is an item I can traditionally spend a fortune on.

This leaves a delightful £10.00 ,which, I had managed to shave off my budget by not topping up my phone. I may have to use it to put towards taking the boyfriend out for a much promised meal.

£17.00 Spent on items to make myself.
£0.00 Saved
£0.00 Made
£944.00 left on the overdraft.
