How Much I've Spent

I haven't exactly kept track of my spending very well, but I am aware of how much I've pulled form the ATM.

First week: £162
Second week: £200 and another £200
TOTAL:
£562

Purchases I remember:
£50.00 Physics book
£53.00 Groceries
£70.00 London trip (roughly)
£20.00 Sim card
£130 Paris Discovery Tour trip
+£12.00 from Harrison for Ice Bar
TOTAL: £323

What I have in my wallet:
£92
According to my calculations, I spent
£147 on miscellaneous things, like alcohol, going out to eat, and bus passes. I've spent a good amount of money at East Slope Bar and random clubs haha. I also charged £32 on my car for Sussex clothes for my brother and I.

Money I will get:
£12 From Christine, Ice Bar
£20 Selling Countryside Tour ticket
£85 Selling Brussels ticket
£35 Selling Cambridge ticket
Total:
£152

Money I owe:
£250 Italy ticket
£125 Amsterdam tour ticket
Total: £375

Trips I can't not buy:
£125 Paris
£125 Amsterdam
£250 Italy
Total:
£500

Not to mention, I also have to pay a credit card bill of about $300. My goal was to keep my spending to £200, and I think so far it's okay, minus the book that I bought and the tour tickets. If I pull out another £130 for this week, I'll be on budget. If I can live off of my £92 for the rest of the week, I'll be under budget! Actually, I hope I can live of my £92 for the rest of this week. It's only the second week! Hopefully, once we finish planning our trips for the rest of the summer, I can't keep track of my £200 every week. Maybe if I'm a little more ambitious, I'll reduce my spending to £150.

Grand total (money pulled out from ATM and trips I have yet to pay for - money owed to me):
£785 = $1256
