:hello:welcome determinedtodothis I have added your pledge to the first post.

I spent £1.39 today on a sandwich at work to go with my homemade soup (which was very tasty).

I too am ill have had a really bad throat since last night and now I think it is going to my chest. Is it possible I caught it off F_F? Would that be a computer virus? (sorry I couldn't resist :rotfl:)

Oh well onward and upward. How are the rest of the budgeteers getting on?

Aw poor pointy penguin, hope you feel better soon!

Managed another nsd, only because I had to work through lunchtime, I never did get the chocolate bar that was calling me...

Oh dear, lots of yucky things going around...I think I might be coming down with a cold too...sniffle....[note to self: buy some medicinal doughnuts]

Have had 3 NSDs in a row...:j yippee:j ...so still have £8.45 in my pocket, but there's a lunch out with my mate looming for tomorrow, so that could blow the entire budget! Hopefully it's her turn to pay

Hope we're all feeling better soon,

Well I have woken up with enormous swollen glands, so I think some of my money is going to go on cold remedies today

Hope you're feeling better *hug*

And you too pointy penguin. Everyone I know has had a bug recently. I've somehow managed to avoid it so far.

It is difficult going out with other that earn a lot more cash than us and think nothing of wine at £27 a bottle :eek:

I used to find it difficult going out with friends and having considerably less money than them. But they've always been great and understood - always letting me pay for my share only and even treating me sometimes.

These will be going on my next shopping list too. Just in case

Morning all!

*hugs* to all those poorly people - but please don't give me any of your lurgie!!:p

Spent £6.80 last night down the pub but that was from money left from Saturday when I went to a wedding reception and is technically part of my entertainment budget - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!;)

So, still £6.50 left til Saturday

Hope everyone feels better soon.

I am determind to have a NSD today. I am desperate for a fizzy drink but going to go and get glass of water and add some lime cordial that is on my desk to it. That should sort out the sugar craving. Brought a multipack of crisps out of GC budget last night whilst shopping so that should stop me buying the 60p crisps from work each day. Works out only 20p a packet in a multipack, so worked out £2.40 has now been saved.
Still under budget and determined to do it by the end of the week. After pay day I am going to Physically take my budget out of my bank and put my card in the draw each week. Then anything left I am going to add to my savings jar and see if I can increase that quicker.

£2.05 spent today on a birthday card for a colleague (Well, a friend too, but I work with her!)

I'm on track to be a good budgeteer and stay within my target again, yay!

Lula-Hula

I've been rubbish

really really rubbish

spent £2.81 on monday & £33.87 today so I'm thinking that I'm going to get turned scarlet any time now ...a mere £28.87 over budget

Half term next week :eek: will consider my budget for then very carefully & post at the end of the week

Good luck to everyone else though...
