    Ok, so I spent £1.25 when I posted at lunchtime, another 25p on coffee this afternoon.

    I also spent £3.79 on bread, milk and kitchen roll from the corner shop.

    So, total spent today is £5.29.

    I would also like to revise my weekly limit from £30 to £27 as that is what I had in my purse today. Cheers!!
  • Happy Monday fellow budgeteers:j

    Ok I am only excited as Monday is soon to be Tuesday.

    I have updated the first post well done to those who are green (I am only jealous but this will be my week)

    I have spent 77p on tea as I discovered a cafe near my work does 50% off for students. Also 50p on chocolate from the vending machine. I am off to the cinema tonight to see My Bloody Valentine so need to pay for 3D glasses think they are about £2.50 and might get ice-cream.


    Beencounting I am jealous of your two day week :p

    sazzledazzle what are your treats for Friday?

    Hello All.

    So far I have spent 35p on a packet of crisps. Tomorrow is going to be expensive as I'm off work and going to the hairdressers -luckily its budgeted for separately, but I need to resist the temptation of popping into others shops whilst I'm out.
    Good luck for the rest of the week everyone.

  • I didn't have to pay for 3D glasses to see the terrible film so I decided to go all out and get a sundae so £3.70 for me. Total for today £4.97.

    Tixy I hope your haircut goes well.

    Evening all!

    I have spent money today, but I'm not counting it. I bought lunch, but I'm on a training course all week so I will get this money back from work and am therefore declaring a NSD :D

    I may have to buy a balaclava though as I am growing the world's biggest spot on my chin. No word of a lie. It's getting mail addressed to it arriving at the house...
  • Excellent F_F!! I know that feeling got one just by my eyebrow!!
    Just keep swimming

    This b*gger has arrived just as I have had to spend four days with ten complete strangers being professional and work-like. With a massive plook.

    :mad:

    Morning!

    Not an NSD yesterday:mad: spent £1.14 on yogurt and chocolate. Ahhh well, it wa sjustified because I tried to give blood yesterday and couldn't because my veins weren't prepared to give up any of the red stuff and I was really annoyed!!

    Aiming for an NSD today, but I've woken up tired so may need some caffeine-filled beverages that give you wiiiiiings.

    Right, to the gym I go...
