    Well, was good over the weekend.

    Went to family wedding and only spent half of what I expected to - result!! (still enough spent though)

    But today have to pop to shops to get a few essentials - bread/fruit etc so couple of pounds there.
    Not planning to spend anything else though and payday this friday! yippee!

    Nothing yet but I have to go to Tesco tonight - hopefully under a tenner - and I have to buy a wardrobe for my lodger's room which will be £89.99 from Argos. Still, she does pay me £350 a month so I guess she deserves better than the clothes rail (although I used it for years). Also have to post a light parcel but hoping it will be only first class stamp as it's really light.

    £25 on a park and ride ticket as I can no longer justify parking in town
    £1.39 on sticky stars
    £5.24 on fruit

    Quite a bit today but I spent absolutely nothing over the weekend so I feel ok about it!

    A guy at work has started bringing in his lunch, however, it's always "Taste the Difference" range!! Haha!! He must spend more doing that than when he used to go out and buy it -strange!!!

    Sorry - not sure why I had to mention that, but it made me laugh!!

    £1.20 on a cappucino whilst waiting for the Halifax to open this morning. Want to change my savings account from Liquid gold (0.95% interest!!!!!! robbing gits) to a regular fixed rate savers account (7% that's better). They wouldn't let me open it there and then have to make an appointment and I can't open it online either what a pain.
