    Hi All
    Spent £17.14 on Wednesday on cakes (not for me, for work- i only had 1 honest!) I did consider cheating and putting it in my groceries budget but can't justify it. Also I spent 30p on a toll of Tuesday.
    So £17.44 so far to declare.

    Hello.

    Spent £11 on children's books today - am being such a regular teacher at my schools that I've read them all my best books! (This is out of a different budget though)

    Didn't buy the bolero jacket :T - big step for me. Had 2 NSDs this week. Wedding tomorrow. :) Out for a meal on Saturday night, but we will only be paying for drinks, as we've been keeping our pub quiz winnings and have earned enough to pay for our 5 meals. :j

    See you Saturday. :)
    Natwest CC - [STRIKE]£2545[/STRIKE] now £0 :j
    Overdraft - £2668 :eek:- to be cleared by February 2010

    Wedding - 11 September 2010:love:

    pointypenguin there must be something in the air as I am also having an awful time. Spent £1.90 on a yummy fishfinger roll and last night spent £5.50 on a new pair of flat shoes for work. Plus now sat I have been invited to a party. Going to have to get my will power back for next week.
    MAY NSD's

    80p on chips, 20p to Sealed Pot and £1 to a cup of tea. Also spent £2 on P&P for the free hand cream in the Telegraph.

    £4 for today. Should be in on budget...

    Hello everyone, I must join in more often, you're such a lovely crowd :T

    Barring everything going wrong and me having to borrow money, I've come in at 5.80 out of 10.00 :jNot too bad!

    I'm hoping that all this nsd malarky will have bought me in under £20K credit card debt total and under £2K on the worst interest card. I will know on Monday when the online statement is available - fingers are crossed!
    Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30
    Total debt today: £0

    Hi All

    Have been at home today, so was planning on a NSD, but succumbed to a creme egg...er...I mean two....well they were 2 for 75p :p ! I'm saving one for tomorrow.

    I also 'found' 50p in OHs trews pocket when I was doing the washing, so that's mine....for doing the washing, of course!

    So, I had £2.99 +50p-75p = £2.74 left.

    Hi Fellow Budgeteers

    Ooo I love Fridays. I love the weekend.
    Well my final declaration is £17.44 from my £25 for this week.
    (I did spend £13 today on new pyjamas but thats coming out my clothing budget:D ).
    Next week is a tough one - I'm going on a city break abroad:j :j for 4 days. Most things are paid for and I've got one hundred euros which were a gift but I estimate I'll spend £100 on extras.

    Have a good weekend and a good week everyone.

    Humbug.

    £13+odds on groceries after work. £15 on takeaway because I have had a poo week and didn't want to clean the kitchen for an hour then cook.

    So I spend £44+£28ish which is £72 ish this week, much over budget.

    Mark me red *hangs head*

    Next week I will be going for £40 not including groceries and my week will again start from tomorrow.

    Spent £55 overall - not good - where did it all go?:confused:

    well actually I know that, most of it was on a fab but expensive night out, then pulling two all-nighters in the library meant lots of money was spent on snacks and the energy drink that gives you wings. All in all I spent too much money and put on weight:rolleyes:

    Can you please put me down for £30 this week please PP? i'm determined to stick with it this week - I don't like being red one little bit!
