Thanks Souk - I know it's a habit I need to get into! Maybe a challenge for March
Went to see 'The King's Speech' last night - fab film and on Orange Wednesday (and I had the freebie so no spends
)
Spends for yesterday were £30 for my nephew's birthday, £1 for work sweepstake and £3 for lunch, total of £34, leaving a balance for the month of £216.78
This spending diary lark is really eye-opening (I know you've all been saying that for ages!

I really liked the Kings Speech, well worth going to see.
Do you have time to make lunches? I used to make wraps to take to work, always seemed more exciting that a dull sandwich!0 -
Spends £10 for lunch (thank you for a friend who did me favour), leaving a balance of £206.78
Not much else going on, stuck to the diet but not managed any exercise again

:j it's the weekend

Nothing actually planned but want to be productive - if that makes sense! Plans include cleaning and tidying the flat, washing etc. I need to get some cards so I am organised for birthdays for a change and I have some other shopping to do. I also plan to exercise and have a look at some cars. Quite a list for somebody with nothing planned
Spends have been £2 in a collection at work and £5.89 in Tesco, so total of £7.89, leaving a balance for the month of £198.89

You're doing well especially if you plan to get a car out of your budget as well

I love my clio & have no plans to change it anytime soon - but quite fancy the new fiestas - such fab colours & quite a funky looking little beast. Cant believe I'm saying that as always used to dislike them, but sadly my budget wont stretch to an Audi R8

He, he - no R8 for me either

Budget will be tight but I want to trade mine in whilst it still has some value (and nothing wrong with it) and as my commute is 65 miles a day with no train/bus options I need a reliable car
Plans for today are to look at a couple of cars, shopping and supermarket and 'evil weights workout'
Will update later
