Happy birthday May!!! And good luck tonight Elsie, stay cool :cool:

NSD yesterday, but had to buy a backing track for an audition and needed to buy tea today - I was busy telling off a bunch of 15-year-olds at 12.30 this morning for being noisy and I needed the caffeine so my total now is £17.50/£20.00!!

Only today to go with the rest of the budget. Planned spends today are 10 cigs (I'm going to try and quit properly again over the weekend as this is getting ridiculous, I don't understand why I'm failing!!!!!!!!!!!!!) (Wait I do, no willpower).

Planned for today:
£3.30 ish - 10 cigs
£0 - Starbucks (I'll use one of my free drinks vouchers that I was saving for when I get broke...thank god I did!!!)
£0 - Meal tonight with that guy, really, really, hope he's paying! I'm driving so going to be using a lot of petrol but I'll let him off that if he pays hehehehehe :rotfl:. I'm disgusted with myself for letting money take over so much but as me and my friend were discussing last night, unfortunately it is a big issue!

Have a lovely Friday all!

Another spendy day yesterday. Had to buy water at my Zumba class because ours is contaminated. Bad times, £1.20 for a bottle of water! SHOCKING!

So put £10 of petrol in while I was spending anyways.

New Total:

£20 / £40

I think today will be another spendy but hopefully get a NSD at the weekend and will not spend £20 between now & Sunday, although, got a night out tonight which i'm planning on going to for about an hour and only have 1/2 drinks, famous last words!

Happy Friday everyone

hey. spent £6.00 on a couple of packs of diet coke yesterday. would usually come out of a money but its running a bit low, so i decided as its me that mainly drinks it then i should spend my own money on it and use the grocery money for food while its low.

other than that, nothing yesterday. not sure whats happening today but im likely to spend a few quid taking my boy out for a bit somewhere as the weathers nice again. 2nd day of my paedriatric first aid course tomorrow, so shouldnt spend alot there as im out in a training room all day long!!!!

so far then: £16.86 credit / £30.00
