Sorry if this has already been posted....
I forgot my HM lunch today, I am gutted! So as "punishment" I have bought myself the cheapest, nastiest sandwich from Tesco (97p), hopefully this aversion tactic will stop me forgetting it again this week!

Too much. Did the online shopping, good, spent less than usual, good, but then I realised it's coming at 2-4pm so nothing for breakfast and lunch (work from home and have a 2y/o). Sent OH to the shop and I reckon he spent about a fiver
Still, the shopping will be here this afternoon, so no more takeaways for at least a week, have saved more in my penny pot that we have spent (not including the washing machine of course!) so I'm feeling ok and it's all going in my spending diary so I am no longer in denial.0 -
Morning Imelda....
I have lunch with me today. Need to buy some toiletries & will probably go to Superdrug as have a 10% off voucher - might get Herbal Essences shampoo & conditioner too as they have a "Free Haircut" offer....
Not sure where I stand with my budget as waiting for my flight ££ to be taken out of my account, and not sure exactly how much this was (with it being in Aussie Dollars....)..

Spent £8.16 on posting ebay stuff which I've been reimbursed for. Of course managed to walk out without my sandwich this morning so just bought a loaf of bread and had a couple of rounds of toast for lunch this cost me 59p but I did two mystery shops making me a total of £20 so in the black today - thank goodness! Also feeling postive about money this month, just checked my bank account and for the first time and I mean the VERY FIRST TIME, I'll have money left at the end of the month to splash out on reducing my debt :j I honestly can't believe it. I want to say a big thank you to everyone on this site for keeping me on track and giving such wonderful advice. I know this debt will reduce and I can make it happen. Thank you allDFW Nerd no: 1490
