Was just visiting two sets of family, did lots of lovely stuff like went to the beach, a concert and day out at a Farm place for my little one. Trying to save for house deposit so it was instead of a holiday abroad.

Problem is that my Son really wants to visit Disneyland Paris again so we may end up going away Oct half-term but it will only be for a few days:eek:

That sounds like a lovely few days away. I imagine Disneyland Paris will cost a fair few bob but it will be something your son will remember for a long time.

Hi everyone, I'm going for £15 this week please. I've already spent just over £5 today, so it might be hard to stay within that amount.
The weather's been lovely and sunny here, but so windy that it feels quite cold at times!!

Same here, sunny and warm when you are out of the wind. I hope it continues as it makes it much easier to get up in a morning when the weather is nice.

Hi,
I will try not to go over £20 this week and will not buy ANY groceries as I've got 2 freezers full of food. I think it's manageable....

I am glad I only have one small freezer, who knows what I would buy otherwise!

Anyway spends for me today were (rounded as change under 50p goes in savings pots)

• £7 on nachos and a drink from the cinema:eek:
• £4 on fags

I went to see the film Sourcecode which was really good but didn't have time to organise snacks before it started that will teach me:o

Total £11 / £39

First post has been updated, let me know if I have missed anything.

Hi all

Not a good start today the entrance fee to the fair was £10!!! and as I was starving I bought a crepe that was pretty pants for £3.50.

So

02 May - £13.50 spent

£26.50 for the rest of the week

I second that, what kind of fair was it? Did it include the all the rides etc.?

I'm always shocked how much snacks cost at the cinema, can be a very expensive trip!!

LSD today, £1 for DGD's playgroup and 60p on a choc bar!

Hi Pointy & fuzzy

It was a combination of vintage steam rally with amusements. £10 got you in but you still had to pay for the amusements etc. We took my nephews and BF was thankfully feeling generous and paid for nephews to go on the rides.

i have no interest in these things but BF loves them.

Spends today £5.70 on groceries - loo rolls, pasta etc. Boring necessities.

I'm declaring myself green by the skin of my teeth , I have £2.11 left in my purse so this weeks spends were £37.89.

Please put me down for £40.00 next week and if I can manage that I might reduce it the following week.

purple week for me, didn't spend anything! Well that's a lie because I spent nearly £400 on a camera lens but I'd been saving up for a few months so it didn't really count
