    Two NSD in a row for me :) At work tomorrow and my niece's birthday on Saturday (which is already all paid for weeks ago :) ) and Sunday is work all day...so fingers crossed for another 2-3 NSD!

    Oh and I got a job interview for next week :) Quite looking forward to it!

    Hey all,

    I've been quiet this week!

    I have spent some money but have £7 left in my purse and haven't used my cards, so yay me!! I have spent on groceries (And have then sent the equivilant of the cash I spent from my groceries account to my credit card) and cups of tea but have brought my own lunch in every day this week.

    Tomorrow I am hoping to buy Glamour (It's £2 and has free Benefit mascara, and I want it!) and some lunch as I have no bread in, but apart from that nothing.

    Hope you all are well. May karma strike down the allotment thief :mad:

    Thank you everyone who's wished me luck :) It'll be my first full time job, and I really hope I get it. I did my degree in the hope of it getting me into a good career where I could really make a difference to people's lives, and with any luck this job could be it! Will tell more after the interview, don't want to jinx it!

    Hey everyone,

    Well i spoke too soon yesterday and have spent £11.27 today, although that is still under budget.

    Not too stressed pp, in fact quite the opposite at the mo, it's 4 months to the wedding, but considering we only got engaged xmas day 08, i'm quite happy at how well i've done. If i do say so myself.

    Anyway pp how was the theatre?

    I'm within budget!!!!

    For the first time in weeks! I'm quite pleased as a lot of it was grocery spends, not silly ones, although today I did spend £2 on Glamour for the Benefit mascara. I'm thinking of getting another couple to sell on Ebay, is that bad??

    *edit* Edited to add - I spent £41.40, 60p under budget!
