  • I'm going to be really naughty and allocate £100 of that for frittering at the craft fair. :D

    Flyin' do you remember what you were saying a few weeks ago?

    'MUST STOP FRITTERING' :D :rotfl:

    But surely planned frittering is just as bad?! :rotfl:

    Well now, that depends on if it all goes to plan this month :o

    Confession time then....

    £7 on Ebay postage
    £3.25 on lunch (Chilli nachos, yum!) Bought as my lunch hadn't defrosted by 1pm and I wasn't going to take chances with quiche
    £40 on a dress *runs away* This is for my night out next week and if it fits I will transfer the money for it from my Entertainment account.

    Todays figures:

    PAD/Spends - £10
    Entertainment - £71.76
    Groceries - £8.51
    Purse - about £17
    Outstanding loan - £677.05 (Bleeding interest has been added on!)

    The £17 in my purse is for my trip away (Deepest darkest Englandshire) tomorrow for work. It's only overnight, but it's a pain in the bum when meetings are scheduled for the day before payday...

    I will be able to throw the £10 in my spends account as my PADs for the next two days, and hopefully the £20 from Ebay should turn up too, taking me below £650 in outstanding loan. I wanted to be below £600 this month, but I'm not too far off.

    One thing that I have realised, on this cold Edinburgh morning, is that I am sadly lacking in sensible clothes for the winter, especially for work. I had a big clearout of clothes this summer and threw out most of my winter woolies, as they were mainly bought in Primark and were well past their best. I need to make sure I have presentable winter clothes. I am also going to have to invest in thick tights too. The New Look sale will be my friend on Friday I think :D

    You can get stamps of almost anything :D

    I'm going to the Craft Fair on the Saturday if you want to meet up. Would be lovely to see you again!

    Morning all!

    Another flipping freezing morning in Edinburgh *shiver*

    Spends yesterday included 50p on bread and some money in New Look (nothing declared until things are tried on!)

    In other exciting news, I have booked a haircut for next week which is already paid for via a Groupon offer, so I have nothing to pay next week and saved over £20 by getting it through Groupon :D

    I'm off to Englandshire tonight for work, then back tomorrow. It's such a pain being just before payday :( Still, not a lot I can do about it. My hotel has no internet so I'll be out of contact until tomorrow night. I'm also going to be trying not to use the mobile internet on my phone.

    I made a couple of really night cards yesterday which I have put on my blog. Hopefully you like them!

    Happy Hump Day all :rotfl:
  • Morning Flyin'!!

    Hope you have fun in Englandshire!!

    I had another NSD yesterday :money::D
