Hope you daughter gets better soon.

I also feel gutted if I break into my weeks money, which helps me to stop buying all those bits and bobs I don't really need like magazines.

Yesterday was a spending day but I kept it low and all budgeted for :jmainly from the grocery budget. So still have the fiver. Today we are staying at home to catch up on the chores, maybe do so gardening and making gallons of tea for the builders, no plans to go anywhere I can spend money. Tomorrow I planning to meet up with friends at an activity centre so the children can burn of loads of energy and get an early night(well that my plan). I will need to pay for their entrance fee, my tea, a jug of drink for the children and possibly a slice of cake depending whats on offer and what everybody else is doing, writing this down I think I am likely to be red this week :mad: hey ho, I don't go over my weekly pledge often I'll just have to live with it. I also need to sort out a childrens entertainment budget as this appears to be where most of my unbudgeted (is their such a word) money goes.

I am red this week.... I ended up going out last night and spending £20 that I shouldn't have. I could say it's out of my 'going out' budget but that was meant to be saved for my birthday next month. Oops. Only got about £3 left in my purse from the original budget.

I have been very lax in posting but have been keeping to budget but only just and its not pretty.

Spent £1.50 on a book for DS from charity shop: The Dangerous book for Boys, or something lol. £4 on some bras in Peacocks, and £1 on an ice cream after school.
Total spend today = £6.50

Good points - I cancelled my hair appointment for tomorrow as I don't really NEED it doing at the mo. I've rebooked for 19th May. 3 weeks before I'm due to give me a feel good boost before the birth Very proud of myself lol xxx

Evening all,

Another £3.50 for me today on snacks at work to go with lunch but this will last me a few days.

Going well this week, only £1.85 on a pot of cream (the shop only have 300ml ones) to make dinner. NSD today.

And my tent arrived yesterday (eBay bargain, £65 for a well cared for, well used tent that costs £220 new) so that was exciting I've got lots of tent based fun planned in the next couple of months, so thought it was time to invest. Many a cheap MSE holiday to come!:j
