    £4.45 today on lunch, that'll teach me to oversleep and not prep lunch. I'd forgotten how expensive it could be (although to be fair I could have managed without the slab of cake and saved myself a quid or so)

    Evening people of the internet

    I have some confessions to make I spent £1 on breakfast at work, £2.50 on lunch, £5.40 on some stationery, £5.60 on a fish supper and £5.50 on a taxi home :o

    Total £20.00 :mad:

    I hate it when it all goes to pot in one day (a Tuesday none the less!)

    To top it all off I lost at scrabble too:(

    Edited to say I have just updated my signature to find that I am still green (just) with £1 to go. £1.20 if you count he 20p I found at the bus stop this morning. I don't think it will happen but it could have been worse.

    Ah but is it pretty stationery PP? I love stationery (well I mean nice notepads from paperchase not just buying staples!)

    Well done on the 20p find! Who knows maybe you'll find another tomorrow!

Talking about going to pot in one day :( Spent £14.87 in Smiths, then toddled across the road and bought the book I've been lusting after for ages...thought it was £16.99 but then at the till it was £13.99...to save my weekly spends I'm taking money out of my piggy bank to cover the book! Brings me up to £23.24...Oh dear...NSDs for the rest of the week then!

    Well, I ran out of face powder this morning (I'm a girl, it's traumatic!) so had to buy some of that but, thanks to good ol' Boots advantage points I spent zero on make up this afternoon which makes my total spend today is £1.51 over lunch time!

    Busy day tomorrow so have a feeling I'll be spending but fingers crossed not excessively!
    Total debt at LBM... £16,815.02 :eek:
