Hi All
Hope your pipe damage isn't too bad pointy, I've had a half day holiday from work today, and my friend is driving up from Birmingham, did my weekly shop from another budget, but no other spends planned, so a NSD for me!!

Pointypenguin I thought I was having a bad day with no hot water, but no hot water or heating thats terrible. Today is another NSD spent taken DD to the DRs and playing in the snow with DS. Tommorow we have invited ourselves to our friends for dinner :rotfl:they often do this to us, so it all evens out in the end.

Evening all,

Yesterday I spent £4.50 on canteen at work for breakfast and lunch. I was at work until 7.45pm due to work disaster so they provided dinner.(I ate all 3 meals at work yesterday how depressing is that)

I then went to stay with my friend who provided warmth and hot water along with half a bottle of wine and a good natter.

Today's spends were £3.30 on sandwich and water for lunch. Total for the week is £21.50 so I am green.

On the pipe front plumber says it is a frozen pipe and there is nothing that can be done, we just have to wait for it to defrost :mad:

I have managed to put my heating on as it is a closed system but when I turn it off it is likely the pressure will be too low to put it back on so I am leaving it on for the time being and going to see what happens. I just want it to get warmer:rolleyes:

Today was a spend day as I bulked out my packed lunch with £1 on hummus and £2 on other supplies at a supermarket near where I work.

But I'm within my budget of £15 and declaring at the end of this working week that I spent

£14.00


This challenge definitely helped on the night I met up with my friend for a drink and a gossip earlier in the week. Normally I'd easily blow £30 on maybe a bottle between us and ordering food but this time I suggested we just met "for a drink" and I sipped more slowly on my wine and had a proper natter and gossip. No difference in the quality of our chat and catch up and I stayed within my weekly budget.

I'm looking forward to next week's challenge. I'm going for £15 again please : )

Wow, you all did so well!
I haven't been quite so good. Ran out of bread and milk so did not take lunch to work - big mistake - due to weather Son came to work so £11 in coffee shop for lunch for 2.
I did go to the supermarket on way home and spent £45 but if it stops £11 daily spends so be it!
Total for this week:93.86 / 40 ooops:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

As I now have groceries for week can I put next weeks target at £25 and I will be green!
