pp - I enjoyed my "free" lunch - I had three slices of pizza!!! To be fair it was lovely of the director as it was meant as a thank you for all our hard work lately.

Speaking of, did my second night finishing at 8pm today (usual 9am start) - I'm knackered as usually if I stay quite that late unpaid, it's a one off. Anyway, I keep thinking, each night is £27 after tax in my pocket...so it's definitely worth the O/T!!!

Sun 2 Oct: Meal Out, Starbucks etc - £27.75
Mon 3 Oct: Cigs, sandwich lady - £4.51
Tue 4 Oct: Cigs and Rizla, yoghurt and choc bar - £4.70

Total so far: £36.76/£40

Hello everyone! :wave:

Thanks for this week's thread Pointy! :money:

Just popping in very quickly to report that I was red again last week! I really need to get back on the wagon - so I'm going to start this week's challenge, as of yesterday, with a pledge of £50 - fingers crossed!

Have a good week everyone and good luck staying within budget!

PP - went to see "The Debt" lol it was good!

My horse is called Pat! I'm really lucky and don't have to pay any costs to keep her as I help out on the yard with
The other horses and students also ride her sometimes so I'm very lucky :-)

Ended up spending £2.37 last night on an engagement card fir a friend and a drink. Still within budget.
No spend day planned for today and tomorrow :-)

Would it not have been cheaper to buy a new microwave? I think my last one cost about £40

Problem is it is a built in Smeg microwave, original to the apartment which is about 10 years old. A identical new one would be £370

I quite fancy going to see The Debt maybe at the weekend. Pat is a good name for a horse but a better name for a dog (pat the dog hehe).

LC glad you enjoyed your pizza.

Frogletina I didn't know they even made microwaves that expensive. I am agog.

Only spend for me today was £4.50 on a glass of vino afterwork. Total so far £11.50 / £40

Hey Chris I'm on my phone but will add you tmw when I'm on the computer as it is too fiddly from here.
