    How were the exams PP? Are you all finished now?

    Been

    Welcome back Beencounting. Yup all the exams are done I just need to wait for the results now which could take another few weeks so at the moment I am just enjoying all the free time I have.:j

    Anyway I have updated the first post.

    Welcome to the newbies :T:T:T. Howdy to all the regulars.

    No spends for this challenge so far today but I am going to the cinema tonight so I might have some ice-cream

    Spent nothing today. Taking DD to play gym tomorrow so will spend a few quid there. Won't go overboard with coffees though! And I'll take juice for DD.

    Well done on finishing your exams PP :) Hope your results are good! I'm going to exclude petrol from my budget this week, as seeing as the only places I'm going to are either work or the interview it's a bit of a necessity! Sister's birthday present is all paid for, so I'm going to go crazy and go for £5 this week! I've got a book that's ordered and paid for out of last week's budget arriving this week so hopefully I won't feel the need. Hope everyone has a great week!

    Our greatest weakness lies in giving up; always try just one more time

    £6.23 spent today, car parking, stamps, veg for bunny, and a drink in town. was out over lunch but resisted the urge to buy lunch and waited til i was home. so could have been more.

    On a course tomorrow, lunch provided, work weds, lunch provided. so no more spends until at least thurs.

    For me today I spent £3 in the £1 shop buying random household stuff that was cheaper there than anywhere else.Also £1.40 on the bus to work as I was running a bit late this morning.

    Total £4.40

    How is everyone else doing?

    ETO sounds like you did well for your spends. Did you get any clothes?
