    Yay I made it! I'm going for £50 and have a feeling I will get through most of it! Started off well on Sunday with an NSD and have spent £5.58 today (yesterday's spend was on a gift card, so not counting it!).
    So, £44.42 left!

    Another NSD for me today, spent a bit more last night than I wanted to, but it was definitely all clothing (plus its pay day today and we had the money which makes a vast amount of difference)
    Only one working day to Cambridge, and I am not going to spend this week, I intend to get my first purple week

    Evening all,

    welcome to the newbies, everything should be updated let me know if I have missed anything.

    Spends to report are £2.50 for yesterday (ice cream at cinema and rest of change in saving pot) then £8 on cocktails (not bad for 4 cosmos), total £10.50 for the week so far. :D

    Spends today of 30p on a packet of Quavers and an unexpected £3.30 on parking... so total spend so far this week = £9.10. Need to get petrol and probably dog food tomorrow though so will move quickly towards my budget!

    Spends so far... £1.94 on essential toiletries (razors etc) yesterday, £1.80 on lunch today and £2.69 on an audiobook, an old childhood favourite - not strictly necessary but will help me sleep the night before a scary exam! :eek:

    Also, bf and I opened our joint account today - so £10 went in there to start off the new house pot (:)). But that was planned for this week, so I'm not counting it towards the total!
