    I am entering intense studying mode this week which is going to involve me spending most of my time out of the house (between work and library) than at home. Three weeks of torture then I am free for summer.:j Going to try and keep the spending under control as chocolate etc. seem to become essential purchases.

    me too! strange how exams and chocolate are inexplicably linked :rotfl:

    Today I spent £3.70 on 2 drinks in the pub so I could have a blether with my friend. I had a bloody mary and it was amazing.

    :hello:Welcome focus888 I had added you to the list.

    It is Monday the dreaded first day of the week but I am organised and have lunch and snacks with me to take to work. Fingers crossed for a low spend/ no spend day.

    Thanks for all you good wishes about exams, off to library after work tonight for at least 2 hours, at least I will not be spending!

    Have a good week budgeteers.:beer:

    Sorry I'm a bit late, I spent £30 last week - well over my predicted £10. Interesting to see where it all goes

    Ok, I spent £50 in IKEA yesterday - but that was a planned spend for much needed kitchen stuff so does that count if it was budgeted for?

    If so I need a budget of 70 :eek:for this week. If it doessn't count ;) then I will try for £20 this week,

    Good luck everyone :j:j
