    Must stop eating rubbish. My excuse is being very tired this week. I actually don't need to spend much more - may go slightly over as unexpected drink for me and a friend yesterday which hadn't planned for - next week going to be a little tight but then payday friday, yay!

  • Firstly hello to freshair looking forward to you joining us next week.

    LC I don't need books for my shed I have my kindle ;) Your course sounds interesting, I am sad I love Maths :p

    Right spends:

    • £2 coin to savings pot
    • £8 on card at work for lunch, breakfast coffee and snacks:eek:
    • £2 on bonusball at work
    • £7 on takeway for dinner:o
    Total £19

    So weekly total £27 / £35 Looks good except I have agreed to go for lunch at wagamamas tomorrow so don't think £8 will make it:( oh well red for me more than likely.

    I am off to visit the family in London this weekend so will not be back until very late Sunday night. LC are you ok to run the thread next week?
