    Ummm.. not too great!

    £2.30 in tesco on 2 yummy looking ginsters pies for the freezer (bogof :j) and milk, not too bad!
    £1.30 on weekend newspaper, not essential but cheap as a treat and takes me half the week to read it all!
    £2.99 in charity shop on book (bridget jones' diary) and a (very nice, expensive looking) jumper, not at all necessary but not disastrous as spending sprees go!! :rotfl:

    So, actually, an alright day. Notice all the justifying to myself though, felt guilty when I went to town because I knew my list only consisted of milk and newspaper but equally knew I needed some relaxing time to take my mind off writing of dissertation and infuriating housemate (my ex, for those of you reading my "my story" thread!). My solution..... charity shops!! I got all the browsing (and a little buying) I needed and it came to £2.99, damage limitation worked quite well :rotfl: I felt no need to look in Next or Topshop or Republic, was tired out!

    Enjoy your night out skintchick, you deserve it!!

    £79 :(

    £49 on new shoes, socks and schoolbag (although the shoes were reduced from 44.99 to 31.49, and the bag was halfprice from 9.99) Got meself a snazzy bag too... reduced to 6.89 from 22.99 so it could have been worse innit.

    9.66 on lunch

    the rest went on bread, milk, catfood and fridge bits top-up.

    Ok, all in all spent about £10. Mum wouldn't take the money for the cakes she got me (and I really did try to give it to her - honest!!) so saved there and she gave me 3x £2 coins!! The kids got some money so they got a McD's each. Mum gave me loads of food to bring home too!!

    OK - didn't go out all day and OH was working...but then met up with friends to watch the rugby (along with OH) and bought some chips from the chippie (haven't done that in at least 2 years!!!) to go with left over chilli...was scrummy :D

    All in all just under £25 :o

    however - OH had a big promotion on at work today and got a cash bonus that covers spending for more than a week :grin: He was not impressed when I told him (sorry)....suggested that we use the majority of it to pay off one of the credit cards (one of mine only has a bit on it left to clear ;) ).
