£2.50 spent today :eek:
£1.50 on chocolate and chewing gum and £1 on a cup of tea. I had a poo day at work and needed to treat myself!
Should still make it in on budget if I have a NSD tomorrow...0 -
I've got £7 left of my money.
Things were going well... the airport carpark charge cost me only 50p.
However, I was sooo busy today, and OH isn't well, so I splashed out £7.50 on fish and chips takeaway!!! :eek: Well, it's MY disposable income, and it won't happen again for a month or so. It's scary to think that £7.50 is nearly a third of what I spent on our weekly food budget though! OUCH!
Keep going everyone, only a few more days till a new week!

I'm in budget too! I have 50p left!!!
Let's be honest here, if it hadn't been for fish & chips last night, and £7.50 spent cos the outlaw mother and OH's brother had dinner with us tonight, it would have been closer to £8 left. *sigh*
Still, tomorrow is a new week!
Let's go for another £15. Natwest CC - [STRIKE]£2545[/STRIKE] now £0 :j
