    95p on a cup of tea.

    I have no defence apart from just having had my annual review at work and needing a cuppa :D

    Yay I managed my first NSD of 2009 :j

    I thought it would never happen. I forgot to add the 49p I spent on chewing gum yesterday which leaves me on £4.43 so far this week. Much better than I expected with only tomorrow to go.


    I must say this challenge has definitly stopped me spending this week. I think the main factor is not having a bank card in my purse that makes a world of difference. Actually that is a bit of a lie I have a bank card with me but it is for an account without an overdraft with only about £10 in and I am not sure if the card works. It stopped me going shopping tonight and buying food I didn't need.

    Also I am very proud of the fact I have taken lunch with me everyday so far this week. I usually manage at least 3 days out of 5 but this challenge will make that closer to 5 out of 5.

    Wonder how Pip Mum is getting on and if she is in labour as we speak (or should that be type?)

    Well done everyone the end is in sight.

    How did the review go? Well I hope but if you needed the tea I am not so sure.

    Oops. I have now spent £102.45 out of a budget of £20 :eek: It was all going so well:rotfl:

    I caved and bought pizza £14
    Theatre tickets for me and a friend £70.50 (For two tickets!!)

    I give up!

    I will be getting £35.25 back on payday, but that doesn't make it any better - consider me an Epic Fail for this week, next week I will try and do better.

    *slinks off*
  • only 55p for me yesterday and so far £1.69 this morning on lucazade which was much needed as had an upsetting night last night and feel drained. This week has been so bad both pysically and financially so next week can only get better.

    Oh dear F_F you were doing so well. Nevermind there is always next week and I am sure you will enjoy the theatre lots.

    Good luck to Pips Mum. :j

    Sazzledazzle sorry you are not feeling very well, get well soon :wave:

    I spent £3.19 on lunch at Subway as I forgot to prepare lunch last night and was running a bit late this morning.
