I've stuck pretty good guns to my poverty so far. But there've been a few breakages:
- Going out with Andy, Bob, Ben and Liz for Supersize Me
- Bought Kettle chips for lunch (I'd done this once before, and I forgot that it was before I'd started the poverty budget)
- Contributing money to a fund I suspected/knew would be used for wedges buying
- Buying a vegie-burger and V yesterday in the afternoon
I agreed with myself not to use MSN for a week for the first one. Not sure about the second one. With the third one, I figured that I wasn't doing anyone any favours if I failed my degree because I hadn't eaten enough during my study times, and there wasn't a supermarket. But the whole point was to force me to bring food from home, which I have mostly done up until now. It's been a boring month so far.

When I read that, I was about to start explaining about when the expense is accrued, and it not really counting as part of the poverty budget. But then I realised that I’ve just been reading way to much accounting stuff, and that it would be better if I just said nothing at all. And it probably would have been too.
