    DFW Nerd # 166 PROUD TO BE DEALING WITH MY DEBTS
  • Good afternoon DFWs

    I did my grocery shopping this morning. Came in at just under £10, budget is £20. Have a couple of bits I've forgotten, teabags and yoghurt but should stay under grocery budget for the week. Haven't spend any unplanned spends.

    Off to Lil Sis's house tonight for drink so hopefully won't spend anything tonight.

    I've spent a small fortune today... a couple of little Christmas presents and then £80 in Mothercare- yikes!!! It was all stuff I need for the baby though and I have the consolation of a £64 Quidco payment this month so it hasn't broken the budget.

    I'm just off to do more shopping though- I need an outfit for our v v v posh work Christmas party...not easy when you have a 31 week bump. Dotty P's maternity section is calling...

    Was due to get some shoes for my Christmas night out but the ones I want are out of stock and they are not getting them back in the shops :( Will have to go looking for a similar pair.

    I bought 8 weeks of lottery tickets using rpoints link which means I'll be emailed if I win & dont have to worry about losing the ticket!:rotfl: = £16, sweets for my niece & nephew (ok, & me too!) £1.89, then "popped" into tesco :o and came out £9.58 lighter, but I bought a cheesecake for tonight as a "thank you" for my family nursing me back to health, some apples, yoghurts, kit kats & more painkillers.
    Total for today £27.47 Oh dear, definitely not leaving the house tomorrow!!!

    Been to Argos, got the side tables, 6.5l slow cooker, laptop (kids xmas pressie) 4 slice toaster (mines starting to spark/smoke) and 8 place settings dinner service for £90.61 (was £105.61 but £5 off voucher DP had, then got £10 gift card aswell which will go towards next purchase) Not bad going, all budgeted for seperately as the household things were my Xmas presents (didn't want DP buying silly things I didn't want so asked for them) Don't think was bad actually considering what we got.

    Spent £2.40 on food items which has to come off my weekly budget, and £1.69 on fabric conditioner, remind me not to go to a local shop in future!!!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
