    I'm normally quite soft heated and quiet so it might be a struggle for me to be harsh, but I'll try my best. :A
    Aye so you are :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    Do you feel guilty if you spend on yourself? At times I do but I'm sucker for nice [STRIKE]expensive[/STRIKE] smelling toiletries and I feel guilty using them until the bottle/tubs/tubes are finished :o

    I really love the soap in lush but it's nearly £3.00 for 100g's :cool:

    I don't go into Lush anymore since we only have a shower - I used to spend a fortune on bath bombs :D I do feel guilty if I spend money on me, maybe I think I don't deserve it or some other nonsense.....

    You can get little bombs for the shower now aswell! I'm not sure how they work as I don't have a shower but a friend told me about them!! :D

    I'm sure you deserve the odd treat now and again...or maybe your mind is punishing you for enjoyimg yourself too much in a previous life!

    You're a very bad lady FF. Not only do I adore the top but I have a pair of skin tight stretchy pale silver grey jeans pre DD1 that it would look fab with (note the jeans in question are not as hideous as they sound)... sadly I don't think its suited to a rock bottom basic camping holiday. Still a girl can dream.

    Right, I have £11.99 in my purse and want to see how long this will last.

    I have to go to the supermarket after work for bread, milk and fruit. I shall not get distracted by special offers and will pay cash for the groceries. This means that I can then transfer the amount spent from my groceries account to my PAD account, meaning I can PAD tomorrow and Angelic won't yell at me :D

    I am heading to work in smart trousers and the Lovely Top I bought from Monsoon looking like quite the professional. This image is somewhat tarnished by this being the only brolly I can find....

    Confession for spends in case Scary Mary asks....:D

    I have only spent £3.92 today and this was all on groceries. I made dinner for myself last night and took leftovers to work today, so no lunch spend.

    I got myself fruit for snacks at work, bread (80p) and some eggs (reduced to 77p)

    Not bad for the first day!
  • That brolly is FABULOUS. I want one!!!

    O.k so confession time...

    I've had a really bad spend day :o

    I spent cash this morning on breakfast (for after fat club :D) which was quite tasty by the way!!

    £67p for the rolls
    £1.98 for the bacon
    £1.67 for the square sausage
    79p for a couple of tomatoes :eek:
    £1.00 for some cookies :p

    That was £6.11 but paid £5.50 :cool:


    I've just been to Tesco again and I've spent...

    78p on 4 apples
    £1.42 on bananas
    £2.85 on yoghurts (muller light 6 pack BOGOF)
    £1.20 on bread
    50p on reduced price ham
    £1.76 on dip :o
    £1.00 on crisps

    That lot was £9.51 but I paid £8.56 :cool:

    Then I had to go and stock up OH's smoking tin for the week which has cost...

    £12.44 on tobacco
    £1.42 on filter tips
    £94p on papers

    The smoking stuff came to £14.80

    My total spend for the day has come to £28.86 :eek:

    I only went to Tesco with £9.50 in my bank account so ended up having to use the bill account to pay so I've now had to transfer more money out of my savings account to cover it!! :mad:

    I shouldn't have started this challenge on a Wednesday, it's always my most expensive day of the week!! The good thing about it though is that I shouldn't have to spend much more this week.

    I hope!! :D

    Just out of interest, does Mr Angelic give you money for the smokes? If he does then I wouldn't count it as your money being spent!
