Tired of waiting for payday to come around again

Dang it, getting paid once a month is really irritating. I feel like I didn't budget very well - maybe I just had no idea what it would really cost two people to get through a month at London prices. The sad thing is that most of our "big" expenses have been paid for out of our US cash reserves - and yet we still dipped into the emergency fundage here. Grr. I'll have to sit down and figure out where all of the money went (some of it to higher than expected utility bills - was NOT thinking I'd be hit for three months at a time from the phone company) and how we can trim down. Needless to say this is affecting my planning for Christmas.

What I wish I had that I would have bought by now if I weren't (effectively) broke: month long tube pass, a real phone (not one requiring top ups all the time), a gym membership, some touchup on my hair, a pair of boots (the ones I wear every day are wearing down at the heels), and a wireless router. At least I'll have more boots when our stuff shows up, but man, I do not like living like this. Sure hope shadowdaddy gets a job soon.
