LC you are too organised I have only bought one present and I thought I was doing well.
Saorsie how the ipad? I want one but have been holding off for a while as I just got a 4S.

- £1 on card at work for crisps

Morning all
Budget took a hit yesterday. I went to Mr T for my bits and bobs £5.98 which wasn't bad and then my Mum rang on my way home from work and asked me to go to shop for her £9 spent. I can't ask for the money as she's a pensioner and over the years i've had more off her so £14.98 spent yesterday:eek:
Swimming tonight with 2 nephews and my niece. Fun but more money.

Morning all! Having an excellent week so far - two NSDs and just £2.10 on diet coke, apple and banana at work on Tuesday. Another NSD today and coffee on a long drive tomorrow and I should be well within budget!
Got to work late today (got a meeting til 8pm :eek: ) but at least that means I get a free dinner :T.:A If saving money is wrong, I don't want to be right. William Shatner
