    The weekly shopping in Sainsbury's, £87 and a few pennies, forget how much. I stll am not able to shop properly OS, but I always used to have to top up by switch every week, so coming under the budgeted £90 a week is actually a triumph (but still room for improvement). Best shopping tip? Leave the children at home! :rolleyes:
    £2 coin in the change, so that is my target 2 for the week. :D

    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    £1.60 parking and £22 on pair of flat black shoes from Barrats (I am 6ft and all my work shoes have extremely high INAPPROPRIATE heels so these were desperately needed and gratefully found!) :j , had intended to buy trainers in sale today for £30 so i spent less than I intended :D

    I want to wear my beautiful wedding dress everyday- it would make shopping so much more fun, I mean, people go shopping in their pyjamas these days.......

    Gawd knows what it's going to cost me though :o

    £1.50 on 6 pts of milk at Sainsburys...plus replacement Easter Egg for my nephew because my son found the original one and ate it! :mad:

    £2.99 spend total.

    Should have wrapped it straight away instead of coming on here! Is that a first that MSE has cost someone money?! :rotfl:

    £273 on my car insurance - money borrowed off mom but already calculated into figures owed her,
    £27.54, last Avon order. Was not making enough to money on that to break even so haven't bothered & that order was what mom & I spent last month.

    other than that, no cash out my purse today as both of those were paid using my debit card.

    Hiya,

    Bad day for me today, although have been really good recently!

    £5 on 3 x birthday cards,(cousin, OH's mum, sis in law), 1 x easter card (parents) and wrapping paper for cousin's (£ 4 belt dot perks) all from m & s , so cheap but classy! plus pressies as mentioned, plus £15 gift card for OH's mum, so altogether: a scary £24, :eek:

    but £5 took out of my money and £15 out of OH's budget (afterall, it is his mum!!) so at least budgeted for. I did at least take my own lunch, so sat in the car like a saddo to eat it!
    :rolleyes:
    Full time working mum to 2 boys
    DH Stay at home dad :)
  • £79 on shopping ( note to self - never take OH shopping - i already know this so why did it happen again). Shopping is £49 to £50 when I go alone.

    Good news is I spotted i had been charge twice for hair dye, so got back £5.99 for that plus £2 inconveience money.

    We do have enough food in the houe to last a fortnight now though so it should even out next week.

    NSD (no spend day) again tomorrow. Was going to have Friday off but as this might result in a trip out to lunch have decided against it. Better to be safely at work & away from temptation.
