hmmm that post looks very
on a plus note i have £31.26 of weekly spends left
£5 was on dance class, £4 on food shopping during ms (couldnt remember if i could use card) and about 40p on asprin at work. hmm not sure how that works out as comes to more than £40! someone must have given me extra change 
this would be a great left over amount as i only need to buy a washer this weekend. however, as its the last week of the month it has to last until thur instead of monday. so £12 will go on two dance classes. hopefully will still have about £16 left over if i allow £3 for washer (dont think will be that much)
pray i can fix it myself or i will have to pay someone looks simple so fingers crossed! :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j0 -

so productive day
was o ring not washer that was broke. £1.55 and five mins later and was all fixed! works perfect! :j
went into town, they are getting shoes repaired and got free mascara (didnt even have to give old one in so can use dregs!). she put some on me on top of the little i had on and it looked good. might buy some when sample runs out as i have short lashes so tried loads! obv that is why they give samples for free... :rotfl:
however bargain of the day was in m&s. went to see if had family xcards left in sale and walked through holiday section. they had a sale rail with dregs on. managed to get nice blue pattern tankini top for £1 and navy bottoms for £1! bottoms are a size 16 but are tie up so look fine on. well happy about that! will try out this evening!
then spent £1 on book for friends bday. not going to transfer £1 out of present account as thats a bit too sad! saw a nice gift set reduced on boots to £9 which i might get her. they had loads in both branches so will wait til next week and hope to get when 70% off think that will be a nice present and she is hoping to rent a lodge for her bday with friends so i will make some whoopie pies and glittery cupcakes to take as well
then went to paperchase and got a load of bday cards and roll of xmas paper in sale. came to £6ish so will transfer that from present account on payday
so productive day just having a little rest and browsing a new zealand brochure with a coffee :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j0 -

Hmmmph boiler is broken:( is having trouble igniting when turn hot tap on and need to flick heating on to get to ignite (works fine for heating). Knew there was an issue when I moved in as hot water didn't work unless I had heating and water option on but now it's doing this will need to get it fixed as could not live if heating broke grrr so will need to get someone round to fix it now dad recommended I join British gas boiler insurance thing but it's £13 month! But they service it every year do maybe worth it? Not sure! Will still have to pay for it to be fixed first anyway will call someone tomorrow
On other news £10 weekly budget left and payday tomorrow. Made £10 selling some spice jars today :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j0 -

so appointment made for boiler next week. really hope it doesnt cost much. paid the £38 off the cc that had a few things on it and £490 to the large cc. about £240 left on it but got £14 to transfer to it from present account when i can be bothered to locate card reader (grr nationwide making you use it every transaction even to ones i transfer to regularly!)
cheque for £180 on its way for online surveys so will use that for boiler repairs (well will use cash out of bills account and replace when cheque clears)
off to friends for dinner tonight and need to do shopping list before i go. going to go to lidle tomorrow to see what i can buy there cheaper than tesco. then will stop at tesco on way home to get the stuff i couldnt get. will report back on any savings. I have been briefed by a colleague what is good to buy! :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j0 -
