    I'm going to try this this week.

    I'm going for £15 as its the school holidays. This is purely for extras/treats as food/drinks/groceries are accounted for.

    Tomorrow we are going to the cinema which will cost £4 for all 3 of us as I have a carers card and a cineworld card. Will take treats in with us which I have here. Also, after we are going to Frankie & Bennies for lunch as I have a £30 voucher from a complaint I made about 5 months ago. This should easily cover the 3 x 2-3 course meals (lunch menu) and unlimited drinks.

    Other outings/doings this week are:

    Natural History Museum-take a packed lunch, free parking with blue badge
    Picnic at the park (Food in, so FREE)
    Swimming (OH & DD £2)
    Bike Riding (OH & DD FREE)
    Library (FREE)
    Cinema (FREE at Bluewater Wed if DD writes a book report & OH goes free)
    Board Games

    Wish me luck.

    Sorry I didn't update this thread last week - I can't remember how much I spent but it was WAY WAY over £70 so put me in red!

    I didn't set a budget for this week :naughty: but I will try & remember to set one on the new thread tomorrow.

    oops went over! bought some extra drink for the party so ended up spending £20 instead of a tenner (that included my pizza). having said that i have gained as there is more drink in my fridge this morning than i originally bought lol, which should mean that i dont have to spend out anything next weekend:D result!!

    this coming week should be a cheap one personal spendswise, we are going camping and i am taking bottle of wine from collection lol and some library books for the evening when kiddies are asleep:) so tenner again for me!
