Since I lent some cash from my mum to go on holiday then my car needed £400 of repairs ive ended up giving her almost all of my "disposable income". This leaves me with approx £80 to ast me a month, including fuel and dinners at work.

Anyone else on a tight budget this month? Thinking I should hibernate

3 weekends left in the month, and you have £80 to last you until the end of it.

£50 on fuel
Buy 3 litres of Vodka, and drink a good amount before going out each weekend. You won't need to spend money on alcohol when out that way. And just use food from the house for work. Job done

Ah... Well that's 5 weekends then... Erm, why not try and last on £40 of fuel and get 4 litres of Vodka? That's an 80cl each time, I'm sure you'd manage

Ah i see, no wonder you have so much then lol

Only reason im so skint is I had to pay my holiday off in full (£450) so ended up lending £300 off my mum thinking I could pay it off this moneth and be ok (which wuda worked)

But then the f'in corsa went for its MOT and needed £450 of repairs. which I then lent again so the car has fucked me up
