    Well having said i was only going to spend £6 on food this week - I went to Sainsburys to get some tights, couldnt find any and ended up spending £3 on food. I think this is a lesson in not going to the supermarket when your starving!
    I did resist a Starbucks iced frappuchino - mmmm...one the way back though.
    although this morning i was in a really bad mood and so ended up getting a coffee before work so I could chill out - probably a good investment or I would have spent the whole day feeling sorry for myself!

    I hope this getting up early thing isn't catching...

    I'm getting a small amount of groceries today (onion, tomatoes, chilli, chicken) and that should be it.

    Enjoy your sunny day!

    I haven't spent anything since Friday! :A

    I woke up Saturday morning with a stinking cold and haven't moved since..... so the best way to become debt free seems to be to get ill every now and again! :confused:

    I have been good and stuck to my meal plan as well :A

    The only trouble is that it ran out last night so will have to raid the store cupboard for tonight... :)

    Had to go up to Kings college hospital early this morning, but was good and took rolls, fruit, crisps and a flask of coffee for OH & I as I knew we would be there a while. They charge £1.90 for a coffee and £3+ on sarnies:eek: :eek: :eek:

    I spent 62p on a loaf of bread from Spar, and then 20p on the newspaper habit that I just can't seem to kick.

    I'm dying for chips from the chip shop, but I need to save money for my friend's birthday do on Friday so I'll raid my food cupboard for tea tonight.

    I'm only going to tell you how much i've spent if you promice not to shout at me....ok, £42.00 on pilartes lessons. I know, i know but, and there is always a but...i've been doing them on and off for four years and whenever I stop my back plays up something chronic (prolapsed disc). £42 will take me through to September. Is anyone going to shout at me?

    Oh, and another thing, when my back is bad I can't work and as i'm self employed this means no money. I've justified the money as insurance! Lol!

    £5 on cigs, really shouldn't but not wanting to try stopping till I have been to my hospital appointment in London. need to get chicken for dinner tonight as there was none in ADSA when i went for my weekly shopping last night. So that will be about £4. Why is chicken so expensive. tThans about it, putting some spare change in my pig, but not too much as i only have £20 to last till fri, that is if there is any of my wages left after clearing my stupid bank charges. Total £9
