  • 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.

    I have been to the theatre this evening which was quite good and short so I am back at a decent time. So spends today were:
    • £2 on biscuits for myself and work colleagues
    • £1 on card at work for crisps
    • £16 on dinner and drinks
    • £4 on coffee for myself and friend at theatre
    Total £23

    Total for the week £44 / £50 going to be tight :eek:

    75p on a bus, 75p on a chocolate bar (so I could pick up a nectar card) & £20 on dinner, whoops :(

    This now leaves me at:

    Sunday: £21.50 (ouch!)
    Monday: £1.65
    Tuesday: £2.04
    Wednesday: £21.50

    Current total: £46.69

    Hmm... Don't think I'm going to hit my budget, but it's my first week of trying to budget / limit my spending. Without trying this, I'd probably be more around £100 at the moment!

    £46.69 / £50

    LBM: 26/10/11: £3,500

    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.

    DVD has put me over my spend limit, but it's one I've wanted for ages and was cheaper than a used one on Amazon

    I am reducing next week's limit by £10 to atone for my sins
