Pap / Moozie's What have / will you spend Friday 22nd August

Goooooooooooooood Morning:D

I am away later this morning for a few days with some friends at a competition weekend so won't be around until next week. I won't have access to a pc.

So I expect some money will be spent (food is already paid for as it is included) but a few drinks may be bought:rolleyes:

keep it low whilst I am gone and have a great Bank Holiday:D

    Morning all - I did't post yesterday (as I was out of the office) but as I passed SOmerfield I picked up various BOGOFF and half price deals - £7. Main Shop was Wed night and was £16 including loo roll and stain devil (that stuff is expensive!)

    Today, may go out tonight; if so £10. Otherwise I have to buy my sisters birthday present which is not expensive but awkward to buy - £5 I think.

    SO £15 for the day

    Have a good day everyone.

    Morning all!

    Thanks for your help on what an actual spend means. I've decided to only list what isn't budgeted for. So you won't need to know about the direct debit for council tax or other interesting stuff :rolleyes:

    I forgot to bring my chocolate in today :eek: So I'll have buy some at lunch time and then eat the one on the kitchen side tonight....ah well, it's a hard task, but someone has to do it - best it's me :rotfl:

    This thread has really helped me, I think very hard before spending as I know I'll have to enter it here - bit like confession time!

    Yesterday was a NSD and it would have been today if not for the chocolate incident....

    Hi everybody :hello: :hello: :hello:

    I saw the thread earlier, but did not post as I was going to my interview and, at that time, didn't know what I would spend. Anyway had to put £15 worth of petrol in the car, as the light was on :rolleyes: , and spent £1.60 on a cappucino after my interview (I was given coffee at the interview, but to be honest it was almost undrinkable :eek: ) also managed to log on to the internet for nothing whilst I drank my coffee and checked on my threads:cool2: :cool2: .

    So I have pent £16.60, leaving me with £3.40 for the weekend - could be worse.

    Have a great weekend, everyone :wave: :wave:

    :hello: Hi all! Today I haven't spent money on anything unnecessary luckily. The only spend has been £61.50 on my monthly electricity bill - essential and budgeted for. My nextdoor neighbour has started playing music very loudly so I'm guessing they are having a party tonight! Rog, other than the horrible coffee, how was the interview? x
