I have obscenely overspent the last 2 months and just couldn't work out why. We realy have plenty of money (fortunate I know) and would like to be able to go away this year instead of frittering it away.
So as of yesterday (payday) I have taken out my spending money for the week and I can't believe how effective it is. So far I have bought strawberries and cream at sports day (£6 for 4), sent something recorded delivery (disorganised) £6, had an aerobics class (£4) and put £10 petrol in the car. (The first time I have ever paid for petrol in cash btw). So I have blown £24, but if that had all been on a card I would have said I'd spent £10 (strawberries and aerobics class) the rest of it I just wouldn't have counted amazing.
