Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas tomorrow.

I saved £1.40 today when a friend of my mum's gave me a lift home from work. I only had £1.50 in my purse so I added that.

Old total:£130.63
Added:£1.50
New total: £132.13

Tomorrow my uncle is giving me a lift home so I will add the money that I save.

I found £2 in my bag.

Previous total: £128.63
Added: £2
New total: £130.63

Between now and Christmas, I only have one day off from work. We've been really busy recently. Next week will be worse.

I have to buy a secret Santa gift for work. I only have to spend £5 so that's fine. Apart from that I have a couple more presents to buy.

I have to save up £1901.37 by April. How am I going to do it? I really really need to budget. I'm stressed now! It'll be a miracle if I do manage to save this.

I'm off work today so I've started wrapping Christmas presents and writing cards.

I added some money to my challenge so my new total is £128.63. Still got a long way to go.

My new total is £126.98. It should be way more by now. I don't know what my problem is. I hope I get this other job, especially if overtime at work stops after Christmas. This other job will make saving so much easier than it is. It doesn't help that I've dramatically increased the amount I spend every month learning to drive.

I can't remember how much I spent on a night out last week, it's really bad. I was drunk...

I need to get my act together.
