Hypno's spending diary for June.....

hypno06

Todays spends are as follows:

Calculator for DS for school - £6.89. The one he has been using has OH initials scratched into the back with a compass, from when OH was at school - OH is now 43, so the calculator has been used daily for 30 years!!! Not bad going, but now the 1, 4 and 7 don't work so it was time for a new one. If we get as much use out of the new one we will have got our money's worth!

Work lottery syndicate - £10 - Am a bit annoyed because they say I owed for last month, and I am sure I didn't, but I paid up anyway. Not that we will win anything, so that really does have to go down as avoidable

Topping up my "snacks" supply at work - £4.80........all healthy, of course :rolleyes::rotfl:

Grocery shopping - £81.10.......nothing that isn't essential - we really did go through it before we submitted the online shop to see what else we could cut out. This is quite depressing!

So, total today £102.79 :eek:
total for June - £438.08

of which totally unavoidable - £115.40 :mad:

And there is more bad news to come because OH bike failed its MOT and will cost £145 to get it through :mad:

Verbatim

Oh bad news there Hypno.

Are you committed to the lottery at work? Or could you save a tenner there?

hypno06

It should be £1 a week, so it is collected approx once a month so usual commitment is £5 a month or so.

Except apparently I didn't pay last months :rolleyes: hmmmmm.....

I will be giving everything some thought over the next few weeks, and cutting out what I can - this may well be one of them! (then they will win!)

And isn't that always the problem with lotteries! :rotfl:

Ahh.....I see I have been moved over to the diary board.

Next month's spending diary will have the title of "help, I spend too much" then it might be able to stay on the main board.

:rolleyes:

Yesterday, all I spent was £20 on petrol.......

So spends for June = £458.08

Of which £115.40 totally avoidable.......:o

hypno06

Today has been a low spend day - phew!

£1.08 on scones and bread pudding for me and DD this morning :rolleyes:
80p on a bottle of drink for DD to take to college because she forgot her bottle of eau de tap du maison.....:rolleyes:
£5.00 bus fare to college
£3.93 mystery shop expenses which will be reclaimed.

So, total spend today - £10.81
total spends for June - £468.89

of which £117.28 completely avoidable....;)

On the plus side - STILL no shop bought lunches or coffees :T

Caramacs

:drool::EasterBun

I love those - do they still exist?

So impressed you're confessing all on here. I daren't

hypno06

I've not seen caramacs for years - anyway, I've not eaten them since I left Rowntrees.......after the first three or four in an evening, you sort of lose that desire for them in the same way

As for confessing all - it is supposed to scare me into spending less in the future - otherwise I will never be able to move house!
