    Out tonight to a gig!!!! BUT, tickets were Christmas pressie, and fuel/car parking is on OH. So, will spend about the cost of a "round", ie 2 drinks, and half babysitting costs. £15 tops??

    A bit embarassing and not very MSE but I treated myself to a payday treat of a latte and a scone. Its all gone now and a very bad dip into bad habits - but I must make sure its just once a month!

    Not planning to spend any other money today.

    Edited to say:- I spent another £4 odds on junk food at lunchtime and in the afternoon - I blame it on payday madness! I will be good from now on!
    MBNA = £4,000 / Next = £925 (approx. tbc on 19/8)
    Tesco = £2,910.11 / Smile overdraft = £500
    Bank of Scotland = £2,782.83

    I spent £1.41 in the corner shop and will be spending £10 on a haircut later ( a friend is doing it - normally I pay around £30-£40 :eek: ). Mind you, haven't had it cut since last March LOL!!

    I'll be popping out at lunch to buy some milk and going into boots to pick up my free time delay face wipes - so I guess thats not too bad?

    £83.46 for Tesco online shop being delivered this pm. That will cover planned meals, nappies & wipes and dog food for 2 weeks (bar a few veggies and milk etc). Really gonna try hard with the grocery challenge this month! Need to post ebay parcel too, about 70p I would think.
