    Hi everyone,

    A very quick visit, as I have to start work in 5 minutes lol

    Had a nice day but unfortunately it is another red week for me.

    My friend invited me for a meal, said it was important and I couldnt say no. Turns out she is getting married and I am going to be her bridesmaid or in my case, matron of honour :rotfl:.

    I love her to bits and I am so excited, Monday we are going to choose her invitations.. oh I do love a good wedding lol

    With all the excitement I spend £10.40 today lol putting me in the red zone once more! But only by a fiver, so it is not too bad.

    I am pledging £50.00 again, please.

    I hope you are all having a great weekend.

    I'm within target I spent £29.57 this week. I've found it very hard to stick to the )£30. I took 4 meals to work and met a friend for lunch one day at local cafe where I had a bacon and sausage sandwich and a cup of tea for £3.00. I'm so pleased I came in under budget.[/COLOR]

    Well completely lost count of spends last week as job interviews and trips to the hospital became my focus. But I know that I did overspend on my target for the week so it was unfortunately a red week for me.

    This week I need to do a big shop as I have an empty freezer and cupboards and need to buy lots of cat food whilst its on special offer, so I am going to give the challenge a miss this week. Will be back the following week and am determined to stick to the budget then.
