    Music related? You? Surely not! :rotfl: Hope your sensible OH is around to control any impulses! :D

    The toe feels so much better, thank you. I am so glad I had it done!

    I've spent nothing today. Too ill to get out of the flat! I took £30 out with me last night and came back with £27 or so. Ah, birthdays are great!

    I spent my £10 last week, a couple of quid went in to my coppers jar. I'm not sure how I'll get on this week as I haven't done my Sunday check through of fridge/cupboards/freezer. I'll try for £10 again as £6.20 of last week's was for birthday cakes at work.

    Hello DFWs :)

    Been having a lovely morning making more Christmas cards but still nowhere near done. Still, it's very relaxing and fun for a cold Sunday!

    I was beaten to it today but you are not off the hook ;) We still have to report how we did on the Sunday to Friday challenge and set our new budgets :D

    I did well last week but found on Friday I relaxed and got cakes etc for my team that was not entirely necessary :rolleyes: Anyway, finished the week within budget but must be a bit tighter this week! So I'll go for £15 and try a bit harder.

    So here's last week chalengers and I'm really looking forward to the updates, good or bad :D

    Oh sammz, sounds like you had a fab birthday! :T I assume the 'too ill' comment relates to alcohol consumption?

    moozie you forgot me :( or did i forget to sign up :confused:

    anyway i was aiming for £10 and spent £8odds (can't remember exact) but within budget.

    this week is somewhat stuffed already, took out my £10 to buy water and ended up buying drinks tonight (don't ask :rolleyes: ), but i shall re-adjust finances and announce £10 till friday again.

    Evening all. Just calling in to say I didn't spend anything today. But I more than made up for it yesterday - it was quite a special occasion though, so I'm not too bothered!
