    Off to catch up with last nights The Wire (brill).:D
    I'm addicted!

    We bought all the DVDs to watch it once we got through Series 1 on DVD and are halfway through Series 4 at the moment, I love it :D

    ETO fingers crossed they come back in stock.

    With all this hype about The Wire I think after exams I am going to invest in series 1 and see what it is all about.

    I have lunch sorted for today and I already have snacks at work so that should be me sorted. I am supposed to be going to the work pub quiz tonight going to see if I don't drink if I can make my £5 stretch.
    :rolleyes:

    Haven't had a very good week with the spending this week but It hasn't been stuff for me as such. I don't know whether to add it or not? Lots of chocolate, crisps and biscuits involved here!! DD home with a 'bug' so she wants comfort food. Only thing I might buy for me today is a Prima magazine.japanese-004.gif

    Chewing gum - 90p due to garlicky lunch
    Soup & Roll - £1 due to garlicky lunch not being as filling as I had hoped
    Tea - £0.95 as I left my flasks at work last night so no fresh hot water in them

    Total spend today £2.85

    PP - Teacakes, are you trying to sabotage my spends!!!
    Luckily M&S is now closed otherwise I might have been heading that way.

    Another NSD for me today, ran out of bread but have paninis (sp) and bagels in the freezer if anyone is desperate, and could do with the freezer space. One more tomorrow and I'll meet my target!

    Hi pointypenguin

    Please put me down for a total spend of £8.33 this week. Spend far too much on magazines but what can you do when all the new ones come out and they've got brilliant free gifts on the cover?:confused: I've signed myself up to a couple of subscriptions, 12 copies for £12, so that will save me some money!

    I would like to join next week's challenge and am going for £10 again.

    Thank you and have a great (and cheap) weekend everyone:beer:

    managed to stay on track - £16!!

    Please can I try £20 next week as have a few things on and would rather budget a bit more than go over budget.

    Have a good weekend all x
