I thought I was doing well today - just £2.95 on bread and salad stuff for the week.

Spoilt it somewhat when I went to the doctor at 5.30 and ended up having to fork out £7.20 for a prescription.

Total spent today - £10.15, over half the budget in one day

No spends for me today I only bought stuff for dinner which came from the grocery budget. I am meeting a friend for lunch tomorrow so there will be some spends there.

Not doing too bad so far ....

Sun & Mon NSD (3 in a row, miracle!)
Tues £15.40 Mr T
Weds NSD (car service but not part of challenge, thank goodness!)
Thurs £6.00 Mr T (trying to stock up on speciality milk while on offer!)

So, £21.40 so far!

Going to Al*i tomorrow as don't need a lot of groceries (brilliant that local Mr T now do my milk as saves going to Mr A which was the only place I could get it & always bought other stuff when there)

2 greens in a row fingers crossed!

I'm really cross with myself. I accompanied DS3 to Mr T's yesterday and ended up spending £14.02 myself. That brings the total up to £24.17. :mad:

I have sold 2 boxes of eggs tday though so take off £2.40 makes a net total of £21.77 so far this week.

Can I recoup the extra somehow I wonder? :think:

Haven't been on here for a couple of days. Excluding petrol, which I'm not including (seperate budget), I'm on £49.58 / £50 . Fingers crossed for 2 NSD's and I'll be green for the week :-D

Edit! I lie, quite a lot! I've also spent £500+ on a new suit, shirt and some shoes for a wedding next week! That's separate too :-s Think I need to stop separating things.
