  • Hey,
    Think I might be over already - I'll work it out in a minute. Today I spent £3.65 on lunch and coffee, then £7.20 on an NHS prescription. :(
  • Bohemianrose - is that what prescriptions cost nowadays?! Poor you.

    Well done L7oopys - that is a great profit.

    I am feeling grumpy listening to the news and worrying about money today. It feels a bit like I am running as fast as I can to stay in one place. I am sure it will get better. I just need to chin up. Good news is I haven't spent anything since tuesday and we are having lentil and carrot soup for tea.

    Happy Friday budgeteers

    Only £1 to report yesterday spent on breakfast at work. I need to buy lunch today but I should be well within my target.

    Enjoy the rest of your day and the weekend.
    Weekly Spend Challenge: £0/£30


  • I am over by 15 pence. A friend had a voucher for the cinema and I had nectar points we spent on popcorn so the whole evening only cost me £2.30 which was good. I will have to take off 15 pence from next weeks money.
