One Month Challenge: Budget part 4

I was supposed to get around 220 euros on monday to support living. Didn't. I got little over 6 euros.
So, had to loan some more money from Antti, who has turned out to be my personal bank and I feel crappy about it. He loaned me 50 euros for two weeks so I won't starve and so on. Also, I was working last night and got little over 12 euros as tips. It's Tuesday 3.7.2012 and there's 6,77 euros in my bank account. 44,25 euros in the jar. By the way, the peanutbutter cookies were good. Make them. (cool staircase from Ts place)

3 euros for pizza I split
12,71 euros for food that I didn't need (soy milk, chiligouda, salad, peaches)
3 euros stashed for night bus just in case

Basically what I do whenever I get little money: I check the cupboard to see if there is any food (can of pea soup and bad of mushroom risotto, three tiny breads and one hamburger at the moment) I'll count the days till next paycheck and left out days I have food for (in this case for two days and on thursday I can eat for free at work). Then I just divide the money with the amount of days to get some sense of how cheap I need to buy. Daily money is around 4 euros now which is more than I have had in months really. This means I can buy meat occasionally and breakfast too.  But I should color my hair, which drops the daily money to 3 euros, oh well. Thanks to my friend Robin I was introduced to this personal finance software: http://www.thebirdy.com. I have been using it only for five days now, so not much to show to you yet.

List of gross things

We have been talking about our likes and dislikes with T a lot. Finding new things about the other is always kinda exciting. Yesterday I found out he knows mushrooms and has been picking them a lot in his childhood. Never had guessed. 

List of things I found gross

1. Touching knees or navel 

2. People talking in phone while using toilet

3. Smell of banana

4. Hairy moles

5. The feeling when you are bare footed and have just stepped on used condom

6. Apes

One Month Challenge: Budget part 3

It is amazing how bad I am at saving money. Thursday 28.6.2012 I have 0,29 euros in my account and jar has 2,50 euros. Er...I'll get money on monday next time. My parents are coming to visit today and since I don't have money to buy anything to go with coffee I baked these peanutbutter cookies I hope they will eat. 

So where did all that money go? I haven't kept as good track as I did last time, but I paid off my 100 euro loan to Antti and some bills. And then I bought food and beer. I have been feeding besides me one hungry man, so this explains little, though I eat at his place now and then too. Soo...

100 euros for Antti
44 euros for buscard
64 euros for electricity bill
12 euros for two pairs of shoes
and then some food and beer in the bar

Actually, without the loan and electricity bill that comes rarely I would have made it quite nice. I haven't had to give up anything I would have needed, though I did buy cheapest deodorant and eat a lot of pasta. Four days to go and I don't have any breakfast. I could make bread again but I don't really feel like it. I have food for those four days luckily. (pasta with mushrooms, pasta with creamy sauce, pea soup and mushroom risotto) Today I actually ate already mushroom omelette. I don't feel like eating any more mushrooms for a while. Also, I'm working friday and saturday night and can afford only one nightfare to bus if I don't buy breakfast. The man I'm seeing is not going to be in the city so I can't sleep at his place (since he lives right next door my work place) so I have to walk home after work (3,5km)  at least once. It's not a big deal but not something you would like to do in the early hours of the morning after busy day at work.

54 euros for paying back loaned money
56,30 for phone bill
4,90 for soap
7,95 for clothes
17,15 for food
30,50 for beer
