    Howdy to all the regulars.
    Well, howdy ma'am :D

    Spends so far:

    Scone
    Ebay postage x 4
    Binbags

    Nothing exciting, but it all adds up, doesn't it?

    Need to be careful so I have enough funds for the rest of my Ebay postage later in the week....

    I have been good though and not bought tea at work today. I'm trying to be healthy and drink water instead. It's working well so far, but I should be earning Frequent Flyer Points on the bathrooms :o :rotfl:

    Hope all Budgeteers are well.

    Xx

    Hey pp

    I got some jeans, a top and some new shoes. Bad me!!

    Though i had saved for them, and they weren't completely incidental, as i desperately wanted to get a new outfit for picking up H2B from the airport on sat, haven't seen him for 4 months.

    Don't you just hate waiting for exam results. I'm keeping fingers crossed for good results for you.

    That is quite a random list of shopping there.

    ETO how on earth do you cope without seeing your HSB for 4 months:eek:

    Juicygirl sounds like a tough week ahead.

    NSD for me today :D

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

    Hi All

    Good to hear your exams are all finished PP, I bet it's great to have all that lovely free time ;).

    I've had a NSD today, and also one yesterday, yay me :j.

    Meeting up with a mate for lunch tomorrow, but I have a cunning plan for keeping most of my tenner intact - I'm going to take a sarnie to work, eat if before I meet him and then just have a diet coke, cos I'm on a diet anyway :D. I'm sure he won't mind :rolleyes: !! Needs must!

    Beencounting as you say needs must- I'm sure he won't mind (he might wish he'd thought of it!). Today I took a sarnie in with me and forgot i had a lunch meeting with lunch provided :rolleyes:.

    Luckily I had put it in the fridge. So I have been good and eaten sarnie this evening (along with some oven chips;)).

    No spends for me today, intended to nip to shops at lunch but meeting prevented me :j

    PP - how long til you get the results? Is it ages?

    Not sure sometime in July me thinks but will just have to wait and see :mad:

    I'm hoping for a low/no spender will have to see how it goes.

    Have a budgeteering day all.

    I went to Tesco last night and some hair dye fell into the trolley! Along with some chocolates for my friend, so that's £6 onto my total. (I was going to include them in the grocery budget but I think that's a bit naughty!!)

    ETO how on earth do you cope without seeing your HSB for 4 months:eek:

    It's a nightmare, have been throwing myself into wedding plans this time. But it's usually horrendous, especially when i dont know when or if i'm able to speak to him whilst he's away. but would never want him to leave job. so it's a difficult situation. we'll have to hurry up and have babies!!!!!

    Anyway another £1.81 for me today. went on a course and didnt know what would be supplied so took my own drinks. which is a bugga cos they supplied water. :mad:

    Sounds like everyone's doing well. Keep it up. :T:T
