    Hi all,
    had a bit of a mini spending spree today - unfortunately spent £16.10 on food and bits today. (Although the food is for dinner 2moro night as it my 21st wedding anniversay, so would be cheaper than if we were to go out!)
    Siggy is updated, but not a lot left, £1.50 - don't think i'm gonna make it again this week :mad:
    Oh well 3rd time lucky next week!!

    Does anyone else find that after a NSD or two they blow a lot of cash in one day? Seems to be a pattern with me. :o

    My pattern is to spend it all on the first day then have enforced NSDs. Not good. Wish I could just reign myself in though. I'm doing well this week. Still no spends for once. Though I imagine I'll make up for it soon and have to get a shopping fix.

    Happy anniversery poshstock :beer:
    Looking forward to the future.

    Morning all,

    Thought I'd pop in and let off some steam. I received a phone call last night from my Doctors saying they'd given me the wrong tablets, could I please stop taking them and go down there to pick up my new prescription :mad: ANOTHER £7.20 wasted. And I'm not even very ill!!! :mad: Grrrr, rassa snassa fassa!

    Aaaaanyway, the budget is well and truly blown for this week. Hope you're having a better week peeps and that you all get a nice rest over the Easter Weekend xx

    That's shocking. You're right to rant. I hope the will reimburse you the charge if you complain - after all it looks really bad on the doctor to give a wrong description.

    Today I managed to spend all of my weekly budget. I bought a lovely long cardigan in a sale for £10 and a birthday present for a friend for £10. So bang on budget. No money for savings though.
    Looking forward to the future.

    Hi everyone

    I'm pleased to say I've only spent £2.80 this week :j This thread is really keeping me on the straight and narrow. All I bought this week was:

    Woman 90p
    Womans Own 90p
    Grand National sweepstakes at work £1.00 (didn't win anything:()

    So £7.20 goes into my Treat Fund.

    Pointy Penguin please put me down for another £10 for next week. Thanks.

    Have a great Easter everyone :easter_ba
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)

    Morning all.

    My week has not been great but not as bad as last week. Next week really need to reign it in as my spending is starting to get slightly out of control.:eek:

    I am away for the week up north but will be back on Sunday night. Please post your results and pledges here for next week and I will set up the new thread on Sunday night.

    Enjoy you weekend everyone and keep hold of those purse strings.
    :D

    Have a great holiday PP, put me down for £30 again this week when you get back!

    Over spent by £3.30 this week! :mad:

    I will hopefully do it next week as it's nearing payday and hardly got any money spare to spend!
    Have a good easter one and all.

    Posh xx
