    Lots of NSD's going on! I spent £4.83 in Tesco today which could really have come out of the grocery budget but nope, it's coming out of this as I am trying to be EXTRA good! :rotfl:

    What a bargain I got as well - 2 bottles of Tesco own SPF 30 sun cream for a massive 18p each!! Was so happy with this as I need to get some bits before holiday which is 5 weeks today :j

    Hi everyone

    well I've managed to get through the weekend pretty much (financially) unscathed! I usually find that we spend quite a lot on BH weekends, but this time not so,yay!!

    Have spent some of my £10, although this was on Friday (I'm doing friday to friday this month), when I bought some soup and a drink for lunch, so at the moment I have £6.86 left until Friday, which should be ok.

    Will have to spend 50p on parking later today, but hopefully that will be it.

    Thanks for that Pointy! Really appreciate it:)

    So glad your assignments are doing well. Good luck with your exams;) , im terrible at them, my mind goes blank right before they start. So i end up babbling all the way through them.

    Well i won't include groceries then just everything else.

    well been another NSD for me, so very chuffed about that, also found out i may have a full allotment to myself instead of just half! :T So i'm one happy bunny today!
