happy holiday PP.

I am going to attempt for £20 again, please.

I'm just going to go and curl up in this corner with a pointy hat on................

This week is NOT going well...................

1st I decided to go to Morrisons on Monday - and bought me and DS a brekkie to share (£5)

Then I saw a seagrass hamper that was just right for tidying my pens etc at home in (£4)

THEN on Tuesday - ohh wooop I didn't buy anything

Come Wednesday hubby gets the DIY bug and spends £80 on wood and £20 on a new drill to shelve out the attic bedroom and the cubby hole at the top of the stairs.

Thursday......... I got bitten by the Travelodge £9 a night bug and booked us a holiday by the beach (which is a short train ride from my mums/ rest of family so I can incorporate it into my yearly face showing) - Tuesday night - Sunday am = £45 ................... ok So it's in November but tis something to look forward too - plus its firework week so we can watch the display on the pier.
THEN I decided to go buy Subway for my dinner @ £2
ALSO had to go to a poundland (where I DID NOT get a scratchcard) and spent £5 (however £2 is goodies for my team meeting this pm).
TONIGHT: we are taking hubbies uncle out for dinner but as that is gonna be his birthday pressie comes out a seperate fund.


Friday - I need to post some RISI books......... will feed back laters.

Total spend so far this week: £161/ £20..........OOOPS

Slipped up... went to the pub but drove and was drinking soda and lime at 20p a go, then i got persuaded to have dinner there after I'd bought some crisps so total spend £5.70!

really craving some sweeties now too!

Looks like most of us are going through a dodgy patch and need some positive vibes to get us all back to green ways - I would have been green this week, but I forgot that it was my OH's mother's b'day this week and forgot to budget into my pledge going out for dinner - d'oh! - so I'm declaring red early with a total spend of £71.59 ... at least I'm sure today will be a NSD.

Next week I have a couple of things to buy and I'm going out for drinks and dinner for a a friend's b'day, so I've done my sums and I'm setting my pledge high at £100 ... fingers crossed that next week is a green one!

Checking out today with a total spend of £19.71! Just 29p left in the purse. Am off to a wedding reception tomorrow night which should be lovely and hopefully very drunken.

Enjoy your weekend all xx

Evening all

My flight has now been cancelled for the third time, looks like I am not going on holiday anytime soon. This makes me very sad but hopefully I can rebook for a few weeks time. I suppose this means I need to hop back on the low spending wagon from Sunday

psychopathbabble

Oh PP I'm sincerely sorry for you. Not sure whether it's worse not going at all, or being stuck away trying to come back after a holiday. Hope you are ok:(

Sorry to hear about your volcanic-ash-blues Pointy ... hopefully it will make your holiday all the more enjoyable when you eventually get to go on it.
