Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 3rd October 2010
Comments

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 £25.61Freebies 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

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.0
