    Three NSDs so far this week and a total of £6.82 spent. Looks like I'll come in well under budget again. Mustn't be too complacent though as my biggest spend last week was on the Saturday. :o

    It's friday, and it's great to declare I managed to stay within, so I am very pleased with that.

    £8.21/£15.00 budget.

    It's £15.00 for me again, got some birthday prezzies to buy, hope I find a bargain.

    Have a great day one and all

    OK well.... was at £19.86/£60 on Tuesday. Since then...

    Hair £50 (Christmas money - not counting)

    £5.80 (fish supper after haircut:o)
    £2.99 (Friday Subway treat)
    £4.00 (Shampoo/Conditioner - reduced £2.35 to £1 @ Boots so stocked up)

    At £33.65 but, like SW it's "Asda Saturday" so will need to be careful! (Hopefully my diet coke bill will be a bit less this week)!

    Fingers crossed & still hoping it'll be a green.

    Well done to everyone who's "declared"!
