Spent money today on:

* Chewing gum
* Half-price Starmix (For the cinema)
* Copy of The Sun (For the £5 Morrisons voucher)
* Movie - I have a sodding Unlimited card, so explain to me why I have to pay £1.50 extra for 3D. The title of the card is Unlimited. Grrr... :mad:

Anyhoo, less than a fiver spent all in, still well on track for the end of the week, huzzah :j

PP - I went to see Coraline tonight and LOVED IT!!

Evening all

Well damage limitation for me this week, should have stuck with my initial £20 budget, which i changed to £10. have just been out for dinner with some friends. £15, drink after £1.95. (£16.95) :eek: :eek: did use the pizza express voucher, but we had so much including vino that it didnt feel like we benefitted. Neh mind.

I enjoyed it and have been doing so well this month. still have £50 (have a monthly budget and divide into weeks) left to last til 29th. :j

sorry for rambling.

ETO

Glad you enjoyed the film ff. dont know the last time i went to the cinema, but i know if i had unlimited i would expect it to 'do as it says on the tin.'

Morning all

All updated on the first post.

I did have some spends yesterday but I think most of them come under other budgets I will figure it out tonight and update.

Happy hump day budgeteers:j

Hmmmm....

Well a spectacular fail to report today!!
Ex boyfriend who works in the same building as me has been annoying me - not on purpose just by being there - surely a lesson to be learned in that!!

Well that and the fact I've been working so hard, dieting and dealing with the annoying one - and had an afternoon off led to:
4 pairs shoes - all for work
Perfume - have run out
Haircut
Eyebrows
Benefit new Smoking eyes pallette
Euros for sons holiday
Damn parking charges

Good news is was all my money (no cc) due to moneysaving measures so do not feel too guilty. So all in all I refuse to spend any money for the next 2 days and am declaring a big fat £190!!!!:eek::eek::eek:

Good luck strong ones :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

More spends today - about six quid all in as I bought lunch in M&S (Om nom nom) and tea and also went to M&S in the morning for the Penny Bazaar

I spent £1 instead of the 5p as it's for charideeeeee :A

pointypenguin · 20 May 2009 at 7:59PM

wow Wigwam that is a large number but glad you had already saved for the spends.

I think for me I spent::

Yesterday - £1.50 on bus, £2 on tea and treats for work
Today - £3 on bus and £1.50 on snacks

Everything else came from another budget.

ETO sounds like you enjoyed your night out and sounds like you have done well sticking to your budget this month, if only I could be as good as you, there is always next month.

F_F totally agree about the cinema card it is terrible we now need to pay for 3D films. My friend paid £9.20 to Coraline which is :eek:

I did enjoy the film, although I am sure it would be quite scary if you were a child. I also went to see state of play at the weekend which was much better than I thought.

Naughty me today, bought 20 cigarettes (rah!) and me and OH a sweetie, it came to £5.63 so will go and update my total!
