    I'm am going to have to spend today but am going to venture into a local farm shop for my veg for teh weekend instead of Tesco, armed with a list so I don't stray and the prices those items would be in Tesco so that I can do a proper comparison. The biggest advantage will be that I am assuming that teh famr shop won't have a rail of 'bargain' clothes that I don't need to tempt me LOL

    Dear MSEs I have sinned!

    The week started out really well until...
    Thursday: £67.97 on a new top, handbag and 3 CDs I've wanted for ages
    Friday: £50.00 on a night out (first one since 3rd Feb mind!)
    Saturday: £47.50 on a new perfume and some bits and pieces in Boots

    Strictly speaking these have come out of my bonus from work so have not affected my budget but I still feel a bit guilty :embarasse
    Holiday Savings = £270.00
    Credit Card = -£903.41
