Life Sucks.

Or at least, my bank account does.

After my optimism at the start of last month, that I'd be able to clear my overdraft, and then the eventual realisation that I might just miss it, and now this:

I started January £212.09 overdrawn.
I ended the month £289.59 overdrawn.

So down £70+ then.

And then I paid council tax and had to buy a new PSU.

£522.01 overdrawn.

I managed to more than double my overdraft in the month I was supposed to be clearing it.

I still owe Mr Jez this month's rent as well. So that'll be £672.01 overdrawn.

I got £60 last night, to make up for Tom and Kate's share of the last council tax bill. So that's £611.01 o.d.

Hmm, let's do a quick sum:

*brain works*

If you ignore the money I took out for the electricity bill (£100), I got £200 out of ATMs in January. So that's £200 that's been spent on little things like bus tickets (~£22.40), food at LURPS (I really need to cut down there...), snack foods, little bits and pieces for the house...

Bollocks.

I'm going to have to go back to doing full records of what I spend, just so that I know where I'm wasting cash.

Particularly now I'm unemployed(ish*). I've got an interview at the job centre this morning, so that'll hopefully get my JSA sorted out. This afternoon, I'll be seeing Dean about the monologue he wants me to perform at the Writers' Guild production, and if I've got time after that, I'll be trying to find a job.

And I'll also be paying off my credit card bill. Fuckity doodles.

*I actually have 15 hours at the TIC this month, so it's not all bad.
