No Spending days over the 28 days =10 days in total.
I have been spending a little on some books, household items and Entrainments over the last month. Some of these are covered in my personal allowance in which I got a book or two at good discount price that were on my buy list and a few treats. I had a lot of large bills this month so I had to watch what I spent money on. My eating out for the month was high and it will be the same this month I would think too! A few Christmas lunches are planned in the coming weeks.
My credit cards are still paid in full each month. I am still under my budgeted allowance so I am on track by being under budget by $41.18.
