    :rotfl:If you went into Starbuck you would quickly understand how easy it is to spend £13.87 and more :D;)

    Milkshakes with my dd on Tuesday (not in Starbuck though): £3.75 x 2 :eek::eek::eek: but she is worth it :D


    Yes, she is, they grow so fast and you need to make as many memories as possible while you can :cool:
    My daughter is 27 and we still like to make memories and have milkshakes ;)

    I can beat your misbehaving.... *deep breath*.

    I spend over 60 quid on Mcdonalds last month! argh! This month my Mcdonalds allowed budget is 0, 1 week in achieved 0! woooop

    But.... my car just broke and will cost me £150. Brill, serves me right throwing money at crappy fast food and not putting it in my savings.

    Hey, Josephine, try the NSD challenge for June! I did it in May and got COMPLETELY carried away - so far I've managed 25 no-spend days this month, and am obsessed with getting to 27! It's a fantastic way to stop yourself from spending itty-bitty amounts of money here and there.

    (Although it probably works best if you're a sad, nerdy obsessive like me, come to think of it...:rotfl:)

    If i could achieve only a 50quid overspend i would be over the moon!

    I think OP should be v proud of themselves, and keep going. If your that good with ur budget, i'm sure ull be debt free in no time.

    I can't decide if my employer is trying to save me money or trying to make me loose weight - but after 7 weeks in a new building I still don't have a card to pay for my lunch with and they don't accept cash. So for me it's either take a packed lunch or go hungry!

    I don't think you should be too upset at your overspend - it's less than £2 per day....

    Can I come and join in in 'misbehaving?' :rotfl:
