  • Evening

    Today wasn't the NSD that i hoped for.

    I spent £15 on DS1 Tae kwon do, but that comes out of a different budget so im not going to count it.

    But in work today i spent £1 towards the lottery syndicate and i also gave in to a packet of crisps :o at 66p:eek:.

    Total for the week so far £14.45

    Hopefully tomorrow i cant be a little more strongwilled.
  • I didnt spend anything at all yesterday but have friends coming for lunch so popped to the local shop and spent £9.60 of my weeks budget. Nearly half in one go! anyway I am still sure that I can still come in within the £20.
