    Hiya,

    Turns out it's an enlarged lymph node, I have to keep an eye on it but it should be fine. Very pleased but suddenly very tired too! Spent 95p on chocolate (again!) this morning which takes me over my budget :mad: bit annoyed but more than that I'm happy to be healthy!

    Evening all

    Yesterday I spent £2 on a latte and scone from the canteen at work. Today I spent £3.49 on subway for lunch.

    ladymay glad to hear that it is nothing too serious that must be a relief.

    sounds as if it is a hard week for the budgeteers. I must say I am feeling it this week. Roll on Friday thankfully not long to go.:T

    Ladymay - that must be such a relief. I don't blame you for spending the budget on chocolate. I think all of us would be the same in that situation.
    Looking forward to the future.

    Well so far I have only spent £3 on Sunday (not the £6 I accidentally declared) and £2.86 yesterday in M&S on some bits at lunch time. Today I have to buy a card at lunch but will hopefully not get anything else.

  • 27p on a 2nd class stamp to post my dad his National Express tickets as his printer isn't working. I'll only be spending £1 tonight and tomorrow and Sat should be NSDs as I'm on a all expenses paid trip to Birmingham courtesy of my bf's dad. :j So I should come in under budget again, all being well. This is getting quite addictive. :D

    Hello budgeteers,

    I had a latte at work today for £1.40 and I also got the bus to and from work (£2.60) but I think this is coming out of my transport budget so only £1.40 for me today.

    Going to be a tight one but hopefully I can still make it.

    ghostmad I know what you mean about this being addictive especially if you are competitive and don't like to lose!


    Roll on Friday it is nearly the weekend :j

    Evening all :D

    £2.61 on lunch for me today (Bad!)

    £9.73 on stuff from Boots, but judicious use of the Boots Grabbit thread meant that I got £25 worth of No7 stuff for this amount :j

    The change on both of these I put in my Sealed Pot, so it's £14 for me today, still well on target for my £50 budget. I am really tempted to get earrings for myself :rotfl:

    I did have a NSD yesterday though, so that makes it ok :D
