    Pyschopathbabble that is a shame that not many people turned up. There were quite a few at the Edinburgh one last year. Sounds like you had a good time though.

    Welcome back moozie it is nice to see you about again.

    Welcome to morocha and romylou let us know how you get on.

    Spends for me today:
    • £1 on coffee at work
    • £6.50 on cocktails and chips in the pub:o
    Total £38/£57.50

    Hurry up and be Friday already:mad:
    Weekly Spend Challenge: £0/£30


  • Hey everyone,
    I thought it would be relatively easy keeping under £50 Monday to Friday, if I put my mind to it. However, two days in and it looks rather harder!
    So far:
    Monday -
    £2.20 lunch
    £1.15 coffee
    £3.00 orange juice
    £7.00 ballet
    60p water
    Total: £13.95

    Tuesday -
    £2.95 lunch
    £19.28 Sainsburys
    Total: £22.23

    Only £13.78 left for the rest of the week! This confirms my suspicion that all my money goes on food... Oh dear! :(
  • I spent £8.50 on a donation to charity today. Going on a course tommorrow with free tea and free lunch tommorrow so that will save me having to pack my own. Well done everyone - we are really finding where the money goes! All mine seems to go on royal mail and coca cola!
    Grocery Challenge £114.22/ £110
