How Little Have You Spent Today? 17Nov

Nobody's started this today and I've already spent £55!

This is our weekly shop at Aldi. Except that it ends up every five days or so because we go through 4-6 pints of milk a day :eek: and I can only get 30 pints in my fridge. My budget is £75 per week so I did OK. And Aldi is so small and has such a limited range, I'm home in half an hour which isn't something I could say about Asda.

    I've ended up with a bonus - an extra payment from Tax Credits. But we won't be spending the extra, will we!

    I've spent £27.55 on Tesco delivery.
    £4.30 on a huge sack of spuds.
    Hopefully that will see us through to the end of the month...
    Have spent loads this month. Bought the children's Christmas presents. Had to buy son some new clothes cause he had a growth spurt. Had to book in for a camping thing we are doing with our church next year. Had to get a guy in to look at my heating and OH has only been back in the country for 4 hrs and had to spend £75 on a new tyre.

    And then I wonder why my bank account is looking a bit bare.
    Perhaps I should have spread the present buying out a bit....and kept a bit more of a check on how much 'extra' I actually had to spend this month!

    Oh well...tighten that belt!

    Oooh, well done. Tell us more :0)

    On that note, I have no idea if I am seeing my date tonight, its so frustrating. I just like to be organised and know where/what time etc etc, but I havent heard from him for past two days, starting to get paranoid now!!

    Meeting a friend for lunch, but she said she will treat me, but I dont feel she should, so not sure how much that will/wont be.

    And the same again for tonight, depending on if I am/am not out. If im not out, then I will have to go to the gym to cheer myself up & take out some of my agression :0) I will not be happy.....

    Money is going ok, we get paid a week on Monday, yippee, yippee. Just had to put some flowers on my debit card for work, which is so annoying, wish we had a co cc!! :0(
