    Good lord my little car went far on £21 worth of petrol! Dead chuffed, first time I've filled up this week :D

    Hey all

    should have been a NSD for me, at work again today, however had to get beer (on a day like this) on the way home. well that's me off work for 11 days. this is my first week's annual leave all year, have been so looking forward to it.

    Time off - yay, but can guarantee this will cause an increase in spending.

    Debs - we've all been there, me more than most, just go for damage limitation and start with a fresh head next week. we can't all be saints all of the time. :A ;) obviously as girls we have a head start. :rotfl:

    Hope everyone else is well.

    Well done Colleen with the fuel situation, i so begrudge buying petrol at £1.03 per litre :eek: cheeky gits. :mad: but have to get to work to earn the money to buy the petrol etc etc.

    anyway H2B back to work in 11 days, so spends will get back to normal, she says optimistically.

    enjoy the weekend all.

    Hi All,

    Also lost track of my spends since yesterday a.m. Was sorely tempted to ignore the whole thing and bury my head in the sand, but.....decided to tot up the individual totals and see how badly I have done.

    Since yesterday morning I have managed to spend a further €12.39!!! Shocking! However, tomorrow will be a NSD and I have no need to buy anything else today. So, my total for the week is €21.17. Boooo! lol

    Still, it wasn't as bad as I was expecting, and I had a bl00dy enjoyable McDonald's with that money. Mmmmmmmm.

    Food shop is delivered tomorrow. I can make some lovely meals / lunches for the next few weeks :)

    Onwards and Upwards. Will be super good next week!

    £9.69 declaration for me please.

    Debs you'll do better next week for sure. Well done to those that made green and commiserations for the 'just reds' and the reds.

    PP can you put me down for £19 next week please.
