  • 80p + 35p spent yesterday on lunch. And then £6.49 spent on drinks last night.... i shouldn't of drank really but I'd had a bad day and just was stressed. I'm not doing so well on the money front am I? I think it's just getting paid and having the ability to spend... had an argument with free loader last night as I've just been getting more and more wound up, not looking forward to heading home tonight now! But I've a friend around for dinner and I'm going to make a chilli chicken (need to buy some ingredients) so that's something to look forward too!! Need to get rid of this rage i'm feeling at the moment, just need some calm time alone I think!!

  • MORE money spent :o

    Ok so half price (free range) chicken and sprouts - £3.95
    Tiger Roll - 35p
    Soup - 80p
    (free range) Chicken Thigh Fillets, Half Price Asparagus and Baby Corn, Half Price Red Chillies, Salad Tomatoes, Spring Onions, Rice, Cheese and Chocolate Snowballs - £8.81

    Total - £13.91...

    Oh at least I've got a bit of food there for a while.

    Will make Chilli Chicken tonight with Thigh Fillets and Rice.

    Have Veggie Chilli in the fridge.

    Can cook Roast Chicken on the weekend and have with veggies I have in fridge and sprouts.

    Can do stirfry with Asparagus and Baby Corn, Chilli's and left over chicken thigh.

    I think I can make this last a while into next week, so I'm just going to concentrate on that :)

    As it turns out I have slightly more money then I anticipated this month - but hoping that's going to get the overdraft down if I can stick with this budget!!

    Right onto eating those snowballs :)

  • Hehe, you could meal plan for England! Those snowballs are practically all air anyway! :D

  • I am shocked that a person knows your money situation enough to know that you have 2 jobs to keep afloat and yet they dont offer you any money for your generosity ! The cheek of her.
  • I know! I questioned her about the phone bill and she said she'd pay up - but the thing is she should of mentioned it in the first place surely?? She said she reckoned she'd phoned a few banks from free phone numbers... but that doesn't run up £10 of charges. I reckon I'm going to have to remind her as well, as she has mentioned before about giving me money for bills and yet it never materialises. Well I think I was pretty vile last night so hopefully she'll feel uncomfortable enough to move on. I don't mean to be a bad person about this, but I just can't cope with it any longer... gets me down being treated like rubbish!!
    Anyhow positive thoughts because I've got more money then I thought I had - I have wages still to come from extra work I've done I have enough food to feed the 5000 and have a catch up organised tonight with a very good friend!!!! (and I still have 2 snow balls :D)

  • Just ordered some more free comedy tickets for next Thursday in Birmingham... sure you're not meant to use the offer twice but what they don't know won't hurt them ;)
