  • Hello everyone, not been around for a couple of days as been really busy. Good thing is it's had a dramatic effect on my spending lol.

    So far......

    Mon - ?? Think NSD (nothing in diary & worked late & def didn't go out at lunchtime so think this is pretty safe)
    Tues - NSD
    Wed £17.30 cat food (new type and neither of the little "lovlies" have touched it yet) & £1.20 @ Mr C for crumpets
    Thurs - NSD

    Hoping for a green .... (I've heard that before, I hear you all say)!

    DM brought me some mince/chicken yesterday:D and made a huge pot of casserole in the slow cooker! She left a steak for me tonight which I must go & eat!

    And can I add NEVER GO DRINKING ON A THURSDAY NIGHT EITHER :p whatever people tell you Thursday is not the new Friday, mostly because Friday is not a day off (for me anyway!)

    OK the head isn't too bad, but I'm bust on this challenge. I am declaring red with a balance of £43.17 :eek: almost 50% over.

    Will try again next week with a pledge of £30 please?

    I think Fridays and Saturdays are the only permissible days for heavy drinking unless you are on holiday! My hungover state allowed the cold to take over my body so I am still being punished by snot :(

    On a slightly happier note, today is Friday and I still have £5 left so that makes me green :D

    Happy weekend one and all.:beer:
