postingalwaysposting wrote:i did it looking ahead... i brought some shoes :T and technically i didnt pay for them as mum gave me some of some money that she owes me back... i had to pop to the bank anyway and the shoe shop next door (shoefarye) we dont ever go in but i thought i would have a looksie and we found a pair exactly the same as in the other shop for £10 (the same price)
but then i looked around a bit more and found a pair more suited for work ie thicker soles... thicker leather... and much more sturdier... they were £15 but... i did a but of a naughty and got both
because i cant drive with thick soles (was using my broken shoes for this too)... i have tryed with my trainers (skater trainers) and i cant do it so... i got the £10 ones for driving and the £15 ones for work but if i break any of the pairs i have a back up :T so a bit of a naughty but some people will spent £50 on a new pair :eek: so i did quite good... did regret it a but though but needs must... i am not counted that as my spend budget though as i brought them from money i didnt think i would have....
but i am not happy :mad: the bus company has increased my bus ticket by £4
i knew they were going to do it but that now works out £2.40 per jounery... not much of a saving now
this spend was budgeted £40 but i needed two tickets so i was short to get two so i only got one but hopefully mum will be able to give me some more of the money she owes me to buy one near the middle of next month :rolleyes:
so now we get there :rotfl: why are my posts getting longer and longer :rolleyes: out of my budgeted weekly spends i spent £1.39 ~ £1 on a key chain hook thing... so i can wear my new trousers to work (has no pockets) and hook my keys on the belt holder and then 39p on fresh apple juice... mmmm
not bad £1.39 :T mum payed for my soup stuff... and that was only 89p as we had most of the stuff in the cupboards 
have a good day all
LOL!!!!! Your post reminded me of me! Trying to justify why you need 2 pairs of shoes... if you need them then you need them and if you don't then you don't! Stop trying to convince us and be happy with your decision
Me - I've spent £3.99 on getting a key cut... so blinking expensive! And I will need to go back and get 3 more cut 2moro cos they guy in there said that he couldn't do it - all very strange indeed! Surely if you can cut 1 ket then you can cut 3 more... or maybe there is some key cutters law about the amount you can do it one day or something. Am sure someone will pop along and tell me why...
:heartpuls CG :heartpulsEver wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.0 -

Maybe he didn't have any more blanks.
Anyhoo, so far today, I've spent £1 on some carrots and a turnip. OH was getting a bit fed up of just sprouts, cabbage and broccoli with every meal.
Although my experimental home wind farm was producing some promising results. :rotfl:
