    Somehow I stayed in budget, I'm annoyed that I spent the money I had as it went something like this. Basically I haven given up Pepsi, which on average cost me 50p a day, as I decided I was drinking too much caffiene. It appears that I have replaced this with coffee. . .

    Monday: Coffee £2.20
    Tuesday: Coffee £2.80
    Tuesday night: Crap at Sainsburys (choc etc) £4.50
    Wednesday: Parcel posted £2.20
    Wednesday lunch: Drinks £7.00
    Thursday: Lottery £1
    Nothing on Friday, This may have also had something to do with the fact that my friend who knew I had been drinking the night before arrived to work with large coffee for me. . .

    so somehow managed to stay in budget, just annoyed that I spent money on not the best things in the world, Have also decided that caffeine in Pepsi is a lot cheaper than coffee. . . .
