    I could sit and read recipe books all week. Never thought of using them for meal planning for real, I tend to look in cupboards etc. and plan around what I've got in!

    Enjoy your night out.

    Hi all, don't know about glam Karma. I'm shattered tonight!

    Anyway dinner on Monday was fab but I spent £35 :eek: after all the wine and a huge slab of cheesecake were included!!!

    Conference yesterday was fab. Great to see the girls and had a lovley meal and wine last night. Bit too much wine but all good. Did spend £15 on my debit card though as I had no cash so that will have to come off the other weeks spends.

    Not too tragic though as it was a fab night. X

    Hi Souk

    I know you are great at styling people, do you also do colours?

    Another Glasgow MSE pal isn't sure what colours suit her so I wondered if I should point her in your direction?

    Hey all, well completely shattered and all out of kilter after my trip but had an NSD today and got 4 fabby books out of the library so all good. Also my two magazine subscriptions have arrived so I have something nice to read whilst enjoying my next relaxing bath.

    Bit of Mock the Week and off to bed early for once X

    Ah thanks DT,

    Well nice day at work but the weather is WILD so am in tonight, planning a bath and a nice cuppa.

    Money Chat
    Purse £5 (til tomorrow/Sun then I lift next weeks £60)
    Grocery Money Left: £41.95
    Cultural Fund £13.36
    Buffer Fund: £800
    Holiday Fund: £100

    This £5 should last til Monday but I am fine dining on Sunday so that wont happen. :rotfl:However, only 1 day out so not too bad.
    Supposed to meet a friend after work tomorrow for a few drinks but should be cheap and have just cooked a lovely tomato sauce for pasta which I can use when I get in tomorrow night.
    Was worried about putting weight on after my indulgences at the beginning of the week so had prawn cocktail at work and then HM chilli from my freezer tonight. Think if I can try to be good when I'm in then I can be naughty when I'm out! Working tomorrow then off Sunday. Pretty tired but had a good week X

    Well had a fab day fine dining. Meal only cost £20 including a drink :j but then spent another £30ish on booze afterwards :eek:

    Twas a great day though and the best fun. Left the posh resturant and went to a right rough pub for a dance with loads of gays. My kind of fun absolutely!

    Money Stuff:
    Purse £3 :eek: this is supposed to last til Saturday but I'll have to draw next weeks out on Thursday/Friday as I have plans then.
    Grocery Fund: £41.15 left :j
    Cultural Fund: £15.83

    Off today so going to clean and tidy the flat, pop out to return some shoes and buy some fish for dinner. Also going to look at my website/business stuff at some point. X
