    Edinburgh has a few scary bits too though. On the whole I think Glasgow has a much worse reputation though :rotfl:

    You seem very determined this week F_F. I need to concentrate on the NSD or else I will not make my target this month.:(

    :rotfl:I have bought all my groceries for the week. So far I've spent £20.73/£40, inc. groceries, mainly due to the fact that I had no idea how much chicken and fish I had in the freezer!! And I've discovered the wonders of the local fruit and veg market:o

    It's my friend's birthday on Wednesday and I've finished my essay that's due in this week already, so I might treat myself to a cocktail!!!

    Hi everyone.

    I've managed to avoid the trap I fell into last week of blowing most of my budget on the first day.

    I'll have to spend tomorrow as I have to go into town, but I'm going to avoid all of the tempting shops and only get what I need.

    x
    Looking forward to the future.
  • Keep up the good work ladies you are doing us proud:j

    Oh dear - I just got back from town and have used up £8.16 of my budget.

    £1.20 on parking and the rest in Holland & Barrett. Indecision made me buy a range of things to try when I only really needed one of them. :rolleyes:
    Looking forward to the future.
  • Last week went horrendously and havent kept a list for the last few days as my life has been turned upside down. However I would like to aim for £15 for the rest of the week.
    MAY NSD's

  • Still 0 for me!! Hopefully today will be a NSD, but going for a meal tomorrow so that will be a spend!

    Not doing too well, I'm afraid, forgot the lettuce in the weekly shop so bought that yesterday 1.47. Today MBNA have really riled me so I bought a chocolate bar 75p, trying to think of a way of making them pay for it!
