Pointy, please put me down for £10 this week (for everything)

Monday £1 on a pack of chewing gum & £2 on yummy choc flapjacks by a well known choc maker (you know the one - begins with a T).

Tuesday - NSD:)

However, today, I've blown it!

Was advised by my Physio to try an ankle brace (damaged ligaments 2.5 years ago & fell around 6 months ago & did it again - now been told by consultant that I will need surgery as they're so overstretched they won't recover & it is likely it will just give out again & again until it's sorted).

Popped to Mr B's at lunchtime & £16.49:eek:later, I emerged with an ankle brace.

Very comfy when on but can't get me boot on so not sure how this is going to work at all!:mad:

Morning all

I have a very spendy day and I think red is in sight for me this week. I bought coffe and breakfast at work (£3.50), lunch (£4.50) and dinner out with OH and I paid (£35)

Total £43 / £50

We are going to something at the comedy festival so that will be dinner out again . Oh well I have had a good few green weeks so we will see how it goes and it is just over a week until payday.:j:j

Enjoy your day everyone.

Just out of interest, what takeaway did you have? Maybe see if you can get a similar ready meal to keep in the freezer at home for occasions when you might be tempted?

Morleys - got a deal with them for 2 meals for £2.20 each (usually £2.99). The medicine cost a fair amount though. I'll have to look into the ready meals.
Also spent £2.10 today so far (had to walk to work today some 3 miles and needed a drink, tube cancellations and bus delays - followed the bus route too!!!), not a happy chappy. Total spent so far £22.87 this week. That'll have to come out of the weekend shopping budget. However shouldn't have to spend anything tomorrow.

Hello everybody!

I was away on a work trip to Denmark Monday and Tuesday, all expenses paid :money: but bought some biscuits/chocs for housemates and colleagues as presents. So £11 for those, and otherwise no un-budgeted spends.

Still within target, just about. Had to buy bread and potatoes today, so another £1.66 spent. This makes my total so far £72.11/£75

Hi all.

A definite red week for me. I'd forgotten that I'd promised the family a meal out for DS's birthday.

Can I go for £20 again next week please?

Afternoon all :wave:

Been away, so I missed last weeks challenge but could you put me down for £30 for next week please? Well done to those who have managed to have a green week and to those who didn't there's always next week and heck its Friday.

Have a great day :beer:
