Hi all,

Just calling in with an update on my spending. £11.79 so far. Not too bad... Spent 8 quid in the pub yesterday as our landlord is over from Swaziland and invited us for a drink, and I also paid for some sandpaper for my OH for work today. He did offer to pay me back but it was only £1.40 and I feel a bit bad sat at home while he's working Have been signed off work so the real challenge this week is not spending money during all this spare time!!

Lunch with my friend tomorrow but will keep that minimal spend and should *hopefully* stay within my budget this week! I need to get some bits for the weekend as we're going to V Festival, but that's a separate budget.

Hope you're all having a good Tuesday!

How lovely - thank you chris81418 , it's my birthday tomorrow and that's really put a smile on my face

Not spent anything again today...tomorrow could be tricky but the weekend will be worse...think I'm going to draw out the cash so that I don't go over budget.

Good luck everyone for continued success this week x

I'm going for a drink after work with the guy I've been out with a couple of times, and as we're going out for a meal again on Friday, I'm going to pay for our drinks tonight (this is awful, but it's kind of in the hope that he might pay again on Friday - I also paid for our drink each on Sunday...I can't afford to go out this much although I want to keep seeing him!!!)

Happy Birthday May2013, hope you're having a wonderful day! :j

ive spent quite alot today unfortunately, but most couldn't be helped! however, another ebay sale means i am still in credit

today: £6.29 for diet coke and lottery tickets, £3.25 on drink and cake at tesco's cafe while waiting for my prescription to be filled, £22.20 for 3 prescription items (turns out i have a bad chest infection so was prescribed an inhaler, antibiotics, and on top of that - high strength painkillers to help my neck which i hurt while coughing yesterday - im in agony, its a nightmare lol!!!)
ebay sale, after postage paid and paypal fees taken off left me with £58.29 credit.

so after all spends so far this week, i am £22.86 in credit overall. not too shabby
