  • £21.25, but £20 of that was petrol to last a week and the other 1.25 was lunch.

    Sadly I spent £117 over the last three days, mainly on two weeks grocery shopping (£70), car parts (£7), library fines (£10) and a stupidly expensive present for my step-mother to apologise for forgetting her 50th birthday (£8):(

    Here's hoping that two weeks of shopping lasts two weeks!

    Today = £0.75p for parking

    planned on spending nothing all week, have already filled up with petrol and take pack lunch to work so no excuses. Spent £4.50 yesterday on daughters ballet lessons, total so far £5.25.

    Will see what the total is at the end of the week...

    wish me luck!

    Did some xmas shopping on Amazon for DS1 & 2 and my friend's son - spent £87.61:eek: , but did get a LOT! Got 6 DVDs (one of which is a 2 disc set) 2 scooters & some books!

    Then spent £21.50 on my nephew's xmas pressie from NEXT Directory.

    Did you use one of the many free delivery codes for NEXT found on MSE?

    Due to a few problems with the online shopping total came to just under £53 instead of the expect £70
