    Morning all,

    Happy hump day, only 3 days until the weekend.

    I have agreed to an unexpected night out tonight as I just found out my friend is moving to London. It should be much fun and I will try and keep spending to a minimum but it is going to be tight.

    Enjoy your day the sun is shining here.
    Weekly Spend Challenge: £0/£30

    I think i belong here...

    coffee, lunches and plastic ohh my! They are my enemy!

    Plastic is a real problem as i have the memory of a goldfish...7 secs after payment has been made and its as if it didnt happen until i get to Sunday and realise i have £6 to last me for next 2 weeks!

    I have borrowed £50 so thats my weekly limit! Technically its to last me 2 weeks so thats £25!

    I dont know what the colours mean!

    Signing up for the no make up/toiletries challenge if i can find it!!!! x

    Ok... so I've well and truly blown the budget :mad: I'm doing a sugarcraft course and got asked to do my mums friend an Anniversary cake so have been buying loads can't even keep track of how much I've spent! Therefore I'm going to buy everything this week and start a fresh on sunday!

    NSD yesterday , and the same today as I have no plans, I aiming for the elusive purple week, I do have to do a weekly shop tomorrow evening and I'm buying flowers for Mother's day, however these are budgetted elsewhere and don't come from my weekly spends, so it could be my week!

  • had £20.10 left but had a horrible day yesterday and felt totally sorry for myself so had a take away - bit cross as we never have them and I blew £15 on it and some drinks so £5.10 left

    but it was worth it as it cheered me up ! We never have them (had two last year I think!) as they are a total waste of money...£15 couldve gone towards something nice and more lasting so will deff remind myself if it happens again

    also means my chance of losing weight this week is low!

    £9 on a work lunch today. Have £1 tomorrow - hopefully it will still be in my purse this time tomorrow (and will then be transferred to my sealed pot!!).

    Good luck everyone for tomorrow. :)
