Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 1st November

Right knees hurt, hearing still not right and I cream crackered. Not helped by a very stressful day at work :mad:

Yesterday I spent £2 on food at work and £6 on drinks at the gig. Today another £1 at canteen at work and £3 on lunch. Total £12. I have £10 in my bank account and £7.50 in my purse which leaves £3 magically unaccount for so total of £15 including magic disappearing money.

F_F like the bag I didn't realise the ones from Monsoon were that cheap or is that on sale? In my head it is an expensive shop but then it probably isn't. I recently found this out about Zara.

Accessorize tends to go from £25 for smaller bags to upwards of £60 for the really nice ones, so not too bad for bags really. The clothes are hellish though. I found the Coat That Dreams Are Made Of yesterday and it was £160

£5.75 for me yesterday and a NSD today as I left my purse at home. Only done that once before and it felt kind of odd.

Evening all

Just popped on for a rant, at myself, i'm so angry with myself, i've just realised i've missed a payment on my CC by ONE DAY. I haven't made a late payment in so many years. i'm not even angry with the fact i've been charged but that it'll be in my credit report. :mad::mad::mad:

I know it's only 1 payment out of so many and it'll never happen again but i can't believe it. you won't even believe how many times i 'remind' aka nag my hubby to make his payments on time.

:mad::mad:

right rant over.

Hope everyone else is ok.

ETO, that blows. I'm really sorry to hear about your unfortunate missed payment. I have no advice, but offer hugs instead.

I have to confess £3.20 from my £10 budget on a mocha and a cake with my best friend today. Nearly fell off my chair when told the price. I'm making her go to cheaper cafes from now on!

Can hopefully make it through NSD's tomorrow and Friday though to reign the spending back in.

How is everyone else doing?

I've blown it again this week - apparently being healthy and spending money go hand in hand with me :rotfl:

£1.50 on a bagel from the canteen this morning. Everything else comes out of the food budget. Roll on Thursday the weekend is in sight.

Well, I spent £4.00 on parking fees and then £2.45 on a magazine and a bar of chocolate (had a stressful day:mad:).. I am going to try and keep my spends to a minimum tmrw as I really want to try and stay in my limit. No spending on Friday as away - lunch/dinner all provided for me.

Off to update my spends.

Hi everyone

Started off well with a NSD on Monday.

Then spent £2.20 on a baked potato at work and £11.38 on cigarettes on Tuesday.

Had another NSD today. Spent £12.32 on groceries but am not counting that as it comes out of my grocery budget. So that's £26.42 left for the week. So hope I make it, gonna try really hard!

Cheers

PS Want to give up smoking again soon, but due to very serious family problems and a huge family trauma in June (which is when I started again after 2 years being smoke free) I don't feel able to cope with that right now.
