You should change all your text to black - you might find the missing money then :rotfl:

I feel like I've lead you astray, you can't hide anything from us as soon as I spotted your next post I was already highlighting your text to see what you had hidden

If I had a wagging finger icon I would put it here " "

will this do?:rotfl:

......I remember returning my libary books and having to pay £10 in fines now! ....


£25 to find.....

ohhh, completely forgot to say that surprise party went brilliantly and Mum honestly didn't have a clue that anything was happening. My quiche and cake went down a storm but the pasta wasn't so popular.

Had a huuuge argument with DH that almost ruined the weekend but we made up.

We then went out and spent.........£100 on curtains :eek: I had no idea they were so expensive! and then £15 on a takeaway on Saturday and another £10 yesterday on rice, pasta and nachos for tea so an expensive weekend all round really!

I have been really good on the takeaway side, today kids go swimming and we used to get chippy tea after as it was a bit late to cook but the last few months I have purposely not took money with me (in case I change my mind!) and again today we came home and I did HM chips instead
My GC challenge this month is going to be high though and a load of other things to add to it as well so wont be a OP month this month I think

Glad you made up with OH

Glad the weekend turned out well and as for the curtains, well, you mustn't lose sight of the fact that OPing the mortgage is a challenge, not a necessity. You do need to have a life & make a home as well so well done :T.

PS what colour

I need to take a step back and realise this too as it's become an obsession with me! A friend asked if I wanted to go out this weekend and my first thought was oh no I cant spend any money unneccesarily :eek: bearing in mind I havent been out for months and months! But its still hard to say yeah lol

Thanks pammy

I definitely have good and bad months with takeaway and my grocery budget!

The curtains are a really deep purple GG and I love them and have already forgiven them for being so expensive

I'm trying to resolve myself to the fact that I'm never going to save as much as I want :rotfl:at the same time as planning a night out this weekend :beer:
