    I've been out for a meal with friends this evening. I budgeted £15 but only spent £11 so that's a success!

    Way way too much today.

    £1.40 on bus far
    £2.00 on a sponsorship for Cancer Research run (third & final sponsorship payout of the week)
    £0.84 on lemon tea bags for my desk at work
    £3.97 on some Dream Curls stuff by John Freida (if it doesn't work I will scream)
    £0.97 on a 7 packet bag of Hula Hoops for work instead of buying them individually (I hardly buy crisps these days but got the munchies today...I have to stress there are still 6 packets left!)
    £7.99 on a bottle of chablis. It was either that or go out tomorrow night, figured this would be cheaper.
    £2.59 on a bottle of lemongrass & ginger cordial
    £2.59 on another bottle of lemongrass & ginger cordial for a very sickly neighbour with unsettled tummy, I thought the ginger might help.

    I had some cash in my purse and I also got an extra £16 in my pay today which I wasn't expecting hence the splurge. Firmly back on wagon tomorrow and will be over the weekend too as I have to work on Sunday...gutted. Unpaid as well. :mad:
    Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.
    Sainsburys Loan: Cleared July 2010
    Credit cards: AMEX Airmiles Card: direct debit set to clear balance monthly

    big (ish) spend day for me, but it's payday :j so not too bad. had to get some toiletries from boots, been scraping the inside of the bottles to last till today! so that was £4.18 but got shower gel bogof so it'll last a while :D

    then i took the dfw advice and did a weeks food plan thingy and got ONLY the stuff i needed for it (except yoghurts which i forgot to put on the list) so that cost £10.56 but some things on there will do me much longer than the week.

    i also bought some hair dye, but rather than boots i went to savers where it only cost £2.49, got a night out this weekend and hols in a couple of weeks and my red is most faded :eek:

    Yesterday DH and I spent £18.50 between us which was quite a high spend day for us at the moment!

    £15.00 - had to buy my weekly travel ticket for work
    £1.50 - bus ticket in the morning because travel ticket ran out
    £2.00 - supermarket shop for milk, value yoghurts and value cereal bars for work.

    Today should be a no spend day for me - DH has to put petrol in the car though so that's maybe £10.
