  • Ohhh Lottie that's not so good ... hope you're better soon xx

    Well, popped to the C00P for a few bits as felt if I went near a bigger SM, I'd buy more stuff than I need!

    Hard to justify the fuel cost of going just for a few bits ... of course offset by the C00P costing slightly more :( - can't win sometimes:cool:

    Fuel: £25.50/£30
    Carried forward from last week :)
    Groceries: £16.95/£20
    Misc: £8.90/£15

    Total: 51.35/£65


    Misc spends - still struggling on how to record these :o today's spend was £2 on a errr a couple of mags :obut I got a £2 in the change - which has been added to the spend amount as it's gone in the pot!:) (but it's not really a spend IYSWIM)

    Added to the other 90p that went in the other day, my Misc spends are really only £6 ..... mmmmm *sigh* - nothing's easy!;):o

    £5.70 (train to work), 60p (newspaper), £.3.95 (apples and bananas)

    Totals so far: £33.52/£70.00 (£36.48 left)

    Right for this week it's a big one....

    £20 nails - spent £35
    £25 petrol (going to MK shopping so extra petrol required) spent £25
    £100 hair (I know, will reduce this when babba here. :D) spent £92.50
    £25 Xmas party (shouldn't need to spend this as not drinking)
    £10 misc spends - spent £4.95
    £35 groceries and bunny veg - spent £11

    =£215 :eek:

    Have edited my post to show spends, i overspent on nails as i needed a new set. But spent less on hair, and hopefully will spend less on night out so will still come in green for the week.

    So spends so far this week

    £168.45 / £215

  • Morning everyone!

    Managed to get everything I need present wise yesterday. The only things left are vouchers which I will do online :) . Majority of spends yesterday came out of another fund so not counted in weekly spend but did manage to use some of the weeklies on a couple of things.

    Spends for yesterday:
    £8.50 (train) £59.00 (clothing presents for OH, jeans, slippers and underwear for me (Xmas budget)), £34.00 (bluray's and CD for OH used bundle deal (5 for 30 and 3 for 20 plus used £25.00 worth of Bonus Bond vouchers to knock it down more (Xmas budget)), £26.50 (bottle of port for FIL (xmas budget)), £10.00 (cd for SIL), £4.99 (penguin bowling game for SIL), £4.50 (mini xmas tree for my counter at work :) ), £34.50 (skirt for me was originally £69.00 so a bit of a bargain (xmas budget) :) ), £2.69 (mince beef), 33p (washing up liquid)

    Total for the day: £181.99 (£154.00 out of xmas budget so £31.01 actual spends)

    Total so far: £64.53/£70.00 (£5.47 to last rest of the week)

    Have a good day everyone xxx

    Groceries: £16.95/£20
    Misc: £8.90/£15

    Total: 51.35/£65:D

    Yay! Green on all budgets!:j

    Have also stuck the LO Misc £1 coins into the Bus Fund - so that's another £5 added:D

    Next week .... mmmmm yet another hospital appt:( but I purposely haven't read one of the mags I got the other day (it was one of these 3 pack for less money deals) - so aiming to take that to save money .... also have my puzzle book that I got when I was there the other day so it will be a coffee but unlikely to get lunch with this one (an I do get fed at my other appts!)

    Will have a think and post later!:)

  • Right for this week it's a big one....

    £35 nails - Spent £35
    £25 petrol (going to MK shopping so extra petrol required) - Spent £25
    £100 hair (I know, will reduce this when babba here. :D) - Spent £92.50
    £10 Xmas party (shouldn't need to spend this as not drinking) - Spent £1.85
    £10 misc spends - Spent £10.47
    £35 groceries and bunny veg - Spent - £29.11

    =£215 :eek:

    Have made some changes to my above amounts as it was easier to work out spends, overspent on my nails, but was able to take it off the night out spends. Also have change from other budgets. :j slightly over on the Misc spends but again was able to take a little from another area, so although not ideal, i didn't have to take the money out of the bank, and misc spends only went over as i took a resident (work) out for a coffee and bought my own drink.

    Also have change from groceries although i do think i need to pop back out later for some broccoli for bun but should still stay under.

    So total spends for the week so far:

    £193.93 / £215 :j:j:j

    £21.07 reminaing, will add the cost of veg later, then set a new budget, then set the new thread. Think this system works much better for me.

    Hope everyone is well, and keeping those spends low, even though it is nearly Xmas.
