    Hiyas!

    Ended up with a NSD today :j managed to "borrow" some washing up liquid from work :D

    Haven't seen any of the sun today :( if I didn't need the money I don't think I'd bother with work when the sun comes out :rotfl:

    Right:-

    Tea £1
    Coffee x 2 50p
    Rolos 69p I mean, I ask you, 69p for a packet of fricking Rolos? Bl**dy garage prices. They were good though :D
    £8.85 in Boots stocking up on essentials for the months ahead (I also used £41.04 in vouchers - I came home with a big bag o'stuff!) I earned 782 points as well which is the equivilant to £7.82, so if you want to get really creative with the accounting I only spent £1.03, hehe!

    So, my total for today is £11.04.

    In a novel attempt at budgeteering, I have lent the other tenner in my budget to my friend until we get paid on Thursday. She had fumes in her car and had no money for petrol (She had money for fags though :rotfl:As a former smoker I understand the logic) so I will have a NSD tomorrow to stay on budget.

    Hope everyone else is kicking butt!

    Hehe, when I told t'other half he went "Crikey, aren't they 35p?!"

    Even I didn't think they were that cheap :rotfl:

    Yet another good reason to avoid the chocolate. Boooooo! :D

    40p yesterday on choccy and £7.20 today on a prescription (they always catch me out) but it was payday today and I haven't splurged yet.

    Happy budgeteering everyone - FF like the novel approach. I nearly succumbed to maltesers today but they were 95p at the garage - makes your rolos look cheap!
