Imelda

Last week's:
1. HM lunches 4 days out of 5 Done 5 days in fact!
2. Only spend £5 on takeaway with girls on Tuesday £5 exactly
3. Food budget for week: £10 a whisker under at £9.60
4. Sort out mobile bill and see if I can get a better tariff. Done- my tariff looks ok, signed up to internet billing so I can check that I am not going over call limits
5. Keep spending diary up to dateDone and enjoying it too!

This week:
1. HM lunches 3 days (didn't bring one today, unexpectedly stayed at OH's last night)
2. £10 on dinner and drinks tonight and Wednesday
3. Use up food from cupboards this week (£0 grocery spend)
4. Stay within budget for hen weekend (booked pre lightbulb) £150 :eek:

Really could do without the hen weekend, just when I am getting myself together!

LookingAhead

Oh dear. I have only just managed to find my list of goals from last Sunday. So here goes. They were/I said:

"This will be tough. I have time off this week with OH to celebrate my birthday so not spending money will be nigh on impossible. Damage limitation springs to mind! OK here goes:

1. Do not use tumble dryer more than once. Didn't use once!
2. When going to cinema do not buy massively overpriced popcorn or cola. Failed. Damn. I bought a small cola for £2 as I forgot to take my own.
3. Try & find things to do Friday & Saturday which are cheap (<£10) or free. OK for the Saturday...but Friday? :rotfl: Spent loads more. Failed!
4. Plan a meal for w/c 9.4.06 which includes tin of green lentils! (See OS board!!) Nope, failed. I forgot in the rush to get a menu sorted before rushing out to do the shopping.
5. List a pair of cords on EBAY on Friday with their free gallery day. Failed. Was too busy out spending far too much money.

What a rubbish week I had.

I think my only goals this week are:

Do not spend any money unless it is on essential food or bus fare or posting a birthday card (I need to do that...).
Do not use tumble dryer more than once.
Get some early nights.
