    Hi PaP - Looks like moozie's 'unpacking' is taking as long as the 'packing' :rolleyes:
    Anyway - glad you're keeping the thread open :j :j
    Just realised that I didn't post yesterday's spending :eek: :eek: We were in Bath yesterday as we had to take my wife's uncle to hospital. Did have a look around, but didn't buy anything as most of our Christmas Shopping is now taken care of.
    Spent - £1.09 on a cup of coffee and £1.03 on a 'Ginster's' for my lunch - Total £2.12 - Am off to update Signature.
    Also - I increased my budget to £35.00 this week as I had intended to go to Yorkshire - since this has been postponed, I will revert my signature to my normal £20 target.
    Hope you're enjoying the Wii. :beer:

    good morning all.

    hope whatever moozie is doing on her hols she's enjoying it!

    i'm torn between getting my food shopping in today or tomo. if i leave it till tomo i can have a second nsd in a row...but then i won't have any milk for tea with my brekkie tomo! argh life is full of complicated decisions :rotfl:

    my challenge week runs from fri-thurs so i came in under budget last week, got £3.57 left :j i'll take that with me for the shopping this week, am having a hogmany party and pringles are half price in asda so i'll pick up a couple and use my extra from last week so i'm not short this week.

    pap and lih i know what you mean about anthea, never seen it but heard the o/d'rs talking about it and just the thought scares me! i bet she's actually got someone paid to do her own house!:rolleyes:

    anyway have a good day all, i'm off to work shortly, via boots as my straighteners appear to be f***ed and i only bought them in august! keep yer spends low folks!
  • £3.78 on some food items at the co-op - was going to be an NSD, but realised we are a bit low on food.

    Interestingly, though you may have discussed this before, I've noticed a bad 'cashback' habit of mine, whereby I'll get £10 cashback when I'm spending, say 2 or 3 pounds on something (only once a day mind). I've had a look at my spending diary and I think it has effectively been making me spend more money.

  • £1.50 on bus fare
    £3.00 on a lunch because I forgot to make my lunch last night and didn't realise until it was time to grab lunch box out of the fridge and run to the bus stop :mad:

    I contemplated going without but figured starving myself was a bit OTT.


    I think my budget will be totally blown this week after grocery shopping tomorrow. Am also meeting an old friend tomorrow for an impromptu planned brief Christmas drink/lunch and don't expect to not buy anything.

    Lord I'm rambling again...oops wrong thread! ;)

    Spent £39 on food shopping today.. which isn't good as i spent £63 on monday on food also... but it means that i don't have to go on sunday when the OH is off as he hates doing it... i won't have to go now til thursday... of which then it'll be about £30 on fresh stuff as i've got most of my xmas stuff over the last couple of weeks..
