    Evening all

    Spends today were on salmon for dinner out of grocery budget and I gave my friend £1 for the bus as she had no change. It is ok as she dyed my hair which saved me lots of money:j

  • I'm RED already.

    I totally forgot about a leaving do last night (and the present contribution) and then a colleague's birthday lunch today. These I knew about (in diary) but I just didn't PLAN for them.

    Lesson lesson learned: check plans and then budget for them.

    I'll check in again later this week with a total but I'm in for next week!!
    Proud to be dealing with my debt

    Hi everyone,

    So far so good, 2 NSD's so far and spent £1.99 on birthday cards (this was 8 cards though :)) and 45p on a scone on Tuesday... my lunch from home just wasn't enough that day for some reason :o... leaving me £2.56 from my £5 to last me until the end of the week, fingers crossed :)

    Evening budgeteers,

    Spends today were £2 on breakfast at work, £3 on subway for lunch and £3.50 on snacks and stuff for work.

    I lost 0.5lb at fat club today so isn't brilliant but not bad considering I ate quite a bit of cake last week.

    Total for the week £11.50/£25

    Morning all

    Happy Friday. It is dress down day so £1 on that and I need to get something for lunch. So green should be easy I hope.

    Enjoy your day and your weekend
