Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 2nd Oct 2011

Hi everyone

I was already red, so no surprise there. Today I spent money on ten cigs, a Starbucks this morning and a Corona at the pub after work. Could've been a lot worse, that's very restrained Friday spending for me!!!!! Although I did do part of my weekly food shop in Tesco after the pub, but that's another budget and I stuck to my list... except for a very frivolous impulse buy of Ben and Jerry's Coconutterly Fair as it was on for £3 - still insanely expensive but I'm a sucker for coconut...:o - total was only £12 though so still plenty of budget left. Hoping to have surplus next week.

So here's me - I won't count the overtime, as really I'm in the red as overspent on this budget:

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
Wed 5 Oct: Cigs - £3.33
Fri 7 Oct: Starbucks, Cigs, Wine - £9.56

Total declared : £49.67/£40

Have a great weekend all - I assume I'm doing next week's thread pp?
