happy holiday PP.

I am going to attempt for £20 again, please.

I'm just going to go and curl up in this corner with a pointy hat on................

This week is NOT going well...................

1st I decided to go to Morrisons on Monday - and bought me and DS a brekkie to share (£5)

Then I saw a seagrass hamper that was just right for tidying my pens etc at home in (£4)

THEN on Tuesday - ohh wooop I didn't buy anything

Come Wednesday hubby gets the DIY bug and spends £80 on wood and £20 on a new drill to shelve out the attic bedroom and the cubby hole at the top of the stairs.

Thursday......... I got bitten by the Travelodge £9 a night bug and booked us a holiday by the beach (which is a short train ride from my mums/ rest of family so I can incorporate it into my yearly face showing) - Tuesday night - Sunday am = £45 ................... ok So it's in November but tis something to look forward too - plus its firework week so we can watch the display on the pier.
THEN I decided to go buy Subway for my dinner @ £2
ALSO had to go to a poundland (where I DID NOT get a scratchcard) and spent £5 (however £2 is goodies for my team meeting this pm).
TONIGHT: we are taking hubbies uncle out for dinner but as that is gonna be his birthday pressie comes out a seperate fund.


Friday - I need to post some RISI books......... will feed back laters.

Total spend so far this week: £161/ £20..........OOOPS

£25.20 total from today. Going to go for a NSD tomorrow (with a Friday night eek!)

Looks like most of us are going through a dodgy patch and need some positive vibes to get us all back to green ways - I would have been green this week, but I forgot that it was my OH's mother's b'day this week and forgot to budget into my pledge going out for dinner - d'oh! - so I'm declaring red early with a total spend of £71.59 ... at least I'm sure today will be a NSD.

Next week I have a couple of things to buy and I'm going out for drinks and dinner for a a friend's b'day, so I've done my sums and I'm setting my pledge high at £100 ... fingers crossed that next week is a green one!

My flight has now been cancelled for the third time, looks like I am not going on holiday anytime soon. This makes me very sad but hopefully I can rebook for a few weeks time.

Sorry to hear about your volcanic-ash-blues Pointy ... hopefully it will make your holiday all the more enjoyable when you eventually get to go on it.
