In and Out

Yesterday was pay day and it was in and out the bank account at great speed.

I paid my car tax and insurance yesterday evening, I sponsored my DGS for his Race for Life run, I paid two small bills and bang, that's this months wages gone.

There is still money in the joint account, I could have paid the bills earlier but didn't as they were not due.

But it just goes to show the money doesn't go far.

I have entered some writing competitions, not many as they cost money to enter, but nothing risked means nothing gained.

I'm allowing myself £10 a month competition money for a couple of months.
