    Did really well today. Took out my weeks budgeted spending money because I had to get material and items for Oldest one's textiles class on Monday. Have £18.75 left so that counts as a saving for today!! Yay!!

    No problem Newlysingle.

    I've just started a new thread called - "I will NOT buy chocolate for myself in DECEMBER 2010." but not sure how to attach a link but if anyone wants to pledge to give up something in December then come over and join me.

    Staying at a friends tonight as I'm on new tablets which knock me out so it should be a nice chilled out evening,

    Night guys, Cuckoo. xx

    Had to go over my £10 shopping budget today as I'm feeling sorry for myself and we are having a movie night so I'm ordering Pizza.

    Oh well, never mind, back on it tomorrow!!

    Made lovely roast chicken yesterday buy buying a fresh chicken and just sticking it in the slow cooker on it's own for the day - it was lovely and tender!! Yum. xx

    Didn't do too well at sticking to the budget but if I explain I'm sure you'll understand. .. Quidco were offering £20 cashback if you deposit and wager £20 on a bingo site, so I thought why not - and I won £100!! So when that comes through I will actually be £100 up (including the cashback) but for now I'm £20 down.

    I actually spent £8.66 on food shopping yesterday so underbudget, just!

    Today should be a LSD because we're going to see a show called "The magicians" for free with the applause store - kids are very excited because we're going to an actual TV studio. Bless them!!

    Take care everyone, Cuckoo. xx

    Be sure you are able to get £100 back, so state you have to deposit more than you win before you can withdraw, thats what happened to me anyway
