Oh dear

[Glaucus]

wouldn't have a clue what I spent on comp parts but not much at a guess as I buy pretty much everything second hand
WHat I can remember
£20 on tv card
~£100 on two hdd cards
£40 on a awsooommmmeee case
~£60 on silent cooling, but foiled by my mobo and gfx card which I'm not willing to fix untill I've upgraded them

And just trated myself to a new keyboard, mouse and mat. No one was in to day says they posted a card, but no sign of a card, so will have to phone up tomorrow and see where I can pick it up from. Bet it's miles away.

£72
(crys my last keyboard and mouse cost under a £10 brand new)

I normally know to the nearest £100 how much is in my current account plus I get a text message from the bank when large amounts go in or out of the account.

I'm not afraid to open them! I just cant be bothered

When you see it written down and the difference it makes to your balance, you more often than not go without

I do this for my bank balance to work out what I've spent on food for us etc., but not my own personal expenses. I really do need to start doing it as I always end up with sweet FA at the end of the month, even when I don't think I've spent anything. I do check my balance every few days though and scan my online statements to make sure there aren't any strange transactions I don't remember making.
