  • bought a couple of things today...do boots points count as actual spending...haha! I'm not going to count them though!
    paid cold hard cash for a hello kitty mirror from H&M £1.99
    and treated myself to a skinny vanilla latte from Starbucks, if i didn't i would have fell asleep in class! that was £2.85
  • £3.69 yesterday night for a mystery shop, but I get that back next month plus my shopper's fee. Still putting it down though as it's money I've spent that I can't afford to not budget for.

    Food shop today, again on a giftcard. It's going to be a bit of a shock next week to hand over cash! :D I've got to go back tomorrow though, as they'd sold out of Quorn mushroom pies (again) and I forgot to buy bread. :rolleyes:

    Woo! Only £1.20 on "lunch" with my girlies today. I'm so lucky to have supportive friends, in honour of my skintness they've happily swapped a weekly lunch for a weekly coffee and chat instead. I love my ladies!

    How's everyone else been on this fine sunny day?

    Another £1 today for me - 75p spent on coffee and Maltesers and 25p to the Sealed Pot. On target to be on budget this week, woo!
  • Oh dear! £4.89 on my mystery shop. :eek: Which leaves me with a grand total of 42p for the rest of the week. I got sent £5 by my grandparents on Mon, so technically I could go over budget if I wanted to, but I'm not going to.
