Hi, haven't posted in ages, but thought I would pop in and say hello, and seek some money saving inspiration - much needed at this time of year!

I started the day with petrol, and some Christmas shopping, then after a couple of hours work, another lot of Christmas shopping. All budgeted for, and I did stick to my budget (except for the magazine treat, for being so good about the shopping budget, oh well...).Then a quick bit of internet shopping this evening, saving me quite a bit on shop prices.

No, I haven't added it all up! Roughly £45.

I need to keep some money in hand, as I am hoping to start a course after Christmas, and will need a travel fund, not to mention at least one smart outfit!

All the best,

Serena

£24 (via QuidCo) on a Christmas present for my Mum (my budget was £30 so that's a positive!)
£3.50 (approx) on two drinks at lunchtime (leaving do)

On the plus side I got a lift to work today saving me £1.50 and I found 20p in the car park walking to the pub :rolleyes: :rotfl:

Nothing

But spent £20 on a night out last night, and it was crap Decided to stop going out and save my entertainment budget for cinema etc which I do enjoy

Oh no, sorry the night out was not a success Gemz! Good decision to change things though - if it's not working, time to change! I love going to the cinema too and it's been ages since my last time! If you were nearer....
