£10 limit for me!

Avatar was great in 3D, I'm really not convinced PotC is worth it - plus it costs so much more! I get a bit "swimmy-eyed" - I mean I have to let my eyes go a little bit out of focus to see 3D properly and then I get headaches too...glad I'm not the only one!

Hi All

I'm a bit late joining this week. I was green last week but not totally sure of final spend but it was less that £15 as I still have £10 & change in my purse. Please put me down for £25 again this week and I will keep a better track. Thanks Meersy

I'd like to pledge £100

£30 Food Budget (£20 31/5, £10 3/6)
£20 Misc Budget - for toiletries (should see me most of the way through the month as I'm pretty stocked up still, am combining this with cinema trip Tuesday to save doing another trip to Boots another day!)
£20 Entertainment Budget (£10 31/5, £10 3/6) (cinema with Mum on Tuesday, payday, although I should get ifor 95p with nectar points, but not sure if I'll want ice cream there... I usually cave in! :doh: )
£10 Misc Budget - that I owe a friend
[strike]£5 Misc Budget - eBay fees[/strike] (think I'm mostly covered for these in Paypal a/c but just in case...)
[strike]£15 Misc Budget - for part of birthday presents for 2 friends[/strike] (Body Shop sent me a 30% discount voucher as I've not shopped online with them for a while...if I buy 2x £10 gifts, I get free shipping as £20+, then knock off 30% and shipping still stays free - I tested it - so I'm getting £20 worth for £14, I think it's worth it!)

Hi all quick update for me:

Sun: NSD
Mon: NSD
Tue: £20 for eBay fees and 2x presents for friends (change went into ISA)

Hi everyone,

A quick update, I can not believe it.. tomorrow is Wednesday and my 50.00 is still intact *dances the macarena hahahaha*:j
SUN : NSD
MON: NSD
TUE: NSD

Fingers crossed I will manage to control the urge to spend until Saturday when we are taking the kids out for the day

Back to work tomorrow, so much less likely to spend anything.

Have a lovely week everyone x

Good morning everyone! :wave:

Checking in late again this week - sorry! Anyway, last week I was green by the skin of my teeth with a spend of £49.53 out of my pledged £50.

This week I have a few things to fork out for, so I'll pledge a whopping £135 please - thank you as always Pointy, and thank you elsiepac for running last weeks thread.

Have a good week everyone, and a good pinch punch 1st of the month!

Good morning everyone,

I cant help it!!! :rotfl:It is stronger than meeeee.. lol
So, today I am spending £10.00 taking the kids to the playcentre.. as we have commited this is their week and the 50.00 allowance is to spend taking them out (excuses excuses lol) anyway.
That said, we are only going after lunch to avoid having a meal there and I am taking our own snacks and drinks

I am waiting on a whooping 780.00 payment order from inland revenue for overpayment of taxes, but I have a feeling it`s been "misplaced" lol so I am giving them a call today. I received my calculations on 12th may and according to them the order was issued on the 15th! Deffo lost.

Have a lovely day everyone, the sun is finally shining again :j
