Mooooving Into 2010 - Bovine Adventures In Budgeteering!

Hey F_F
I know what you mean about the cineworld unlimited card charging extra for 3D movies. They would be better upping the price of the card to £15 or even £17 a month - I would still buy mine cause I go at least 3/4 times a month to the cinema.
Pain in the rear end though having to fork out extra if you want to see a 3D movie.

Trouble is though, I don't want to see a 3D movie, and they're taking away my choice in the matter and charging me extra for the sodding privilege.

3D movies take me ages to get into because I'm sitting there wearing two pairs of glasses (My normal ones and the 3D ones) and feeling like a right plum because of it. I don't know if it's my eyesight or what, but I also find it hard to watch things moving quickly in 3D, it looks really blurry.

pointy - I'm in favour of the 3D glasses discount, but they had better only charge me £1.20 the first time as I have been using the bins at Cineworld to put them in when the film finishes (In our one they have special bins for glasses)

Soooooo tired this morning. Beer is good, tequila not so much

Note to self for later spreadsheeting:

Spend in Morrisons was £4.62 which was 97p on sausages, 15p on bread, 19p on rolls and £3.31 on drain unclogger. Then there was the £1.49 on mouthwash too.

Weekly Spend Challenge ended with a full-on failure.

Budget = £27.52
Actual spend = £61.60 :eek:

Don't worry I am sure you will be back on form next week.

I find 3D films give me a headache and I don't wear glasses. It feels like when you try and stare at your nose to make yourself cross-eyed.

As for tequila it is the milk of the devil:rotfl:

Morning all!

It's cold here this morning and I'm glad I broke the heating embargo a week ago. I'm really proud of myself for lasting until November though :T

Money stuff

Credit card is sitting at zero again The rest is looking tight though....

Spends = £52
PAD = £15
Entertainment = £20.55
Groceries = £37.15
Purse = £30.55

I spent lots of money at the start of the month on deals leaving my grocery budget quite tights now. I'm going to have to go to the supermarket a couple of times this week to buy bread/fruit/milk, and am going to have to try and get the cheapest possible stuff. I'm currently rocking the 50p milk from Asda, which is fine for tea but I'm trying it in cereal this morning, hopefully it's quite good!

This is the month where I had overtime money too - next month I have no overtime and money is going to be tighter than a ducks *rse. I'm not too sure how that's going to go...

I made a vat of bolognaise last night which I padded out with lentils, porridge oats and carrots, and shoved loads of mushrooms in there too. Loads left for the freezer.

Must dash - off to put chilli in the slow cooker then go to work. Another meal full of freezability!

yay for minced beef! even my DH, who is an exceedingly fussy full-fat milk freak, thinks the asda purple top 50p milk is nice on cereal. we've been drinking that milk for about 6 months now - price is erratic though, some weeks 50p, others 80ish p, lowest i've seen is 48p, highest about 1.06. hmmmm....

Change of plans.
