    Tuesday I went to Alton Towers and spent: £2 towards car parking, £6 lunch, £6.85 at a pub on cheap meal and a soft drink on the way home.

    Then yesterday I went to Horse of the year show and paid £8 for car parking :eek: but seeing as my friend paid £50 for my ticket I thought I better payfor the parking. And £1.80 on a drink I took my own lunch and was not tempted by the big shopping village!
    I also got a freebie goodybag full of things like cereal bars, chewing gum, lenor, tea bags, face cream!

    Today I am gonna have a no spend day!

    So my total for the week so far is £25.61
    Freebies received:
    £5 M&S Voucher, Dog Lead, Jordans cereal
    2 x Grolsch Glasses, Beatles DVD, Nivea lip gloss
    Twinnings tea bags, Nivea samples
    Whoooooo Body Form!! Always
    Purina one cat food, Kool patch

    Spent another £5.40 yesterday, really need to stop spending randomly, only tomorrow to go now, and no spend today so fingers crossed I'll be green this week.
    Debt free 11/05/11!

    Savings £4000/ £300
  • I was doing fine until yesterday. I ended up having to go up to Blackpool to sort out my bridesmaid dress... which meant I wouldn't be spending anything as I was staying with my friend, and had budgeted for the alterations. Unfortunately when I left yesterday, I stopped to get petrol and spent £3.25 on food then another £1.70 later on on a coffee (I was practically falling asleep at the wheel and also had to stop for a cat-nap) so although I'm still in budget at 5.55 at the moment, I could really be at 0 spends so far. Need to get some handcream for work and st johns wort but hopefully it won't take me over £10... also need screen wash and de-icer before it's too late.
  • Evening all I have had a busy few days and I have £10 left (that's what is left in my purse) the rest went on dinner out Tues, Wed and tonight (woops) but still on track for green, just. I need to get lunch tomorrow as the cupboards are rather bare. Enjoy the rest of your evening.

  • Definitely gone over, my laptop cable finally died last night so had to get a new one. Also needed handcream and tights for work.... strangely couldn't find any de-icer in the supermarket or their garage!

    Hope you are all doing better than me x
