in Debt-free wannabe
I've just spent a week's budget in an hour!!

I spent my £10 spends on lunch for my friends birthday.

I don't begrudge her it or anything, but I bought her a pressie and went out for dinner for her birthday on Saturday and that cost £22 (for dinner)


I prefered it when I was tight and no-one asked me to go anywhere!

    Don't worry!
    I did the same thing going to visit family a while ago- hadn't seen them for ages and money just started to vanish!
    At least you're aware of it. Just imagine- some people would probably think nothing of spending three times that on a regular basis- and wouldn't even realise they were doing it!
    I'm sure you'll make up for the glitch. Don't feel too bad.
