    Well as we got paid(finally) Went to ASDA £25.26 used £2.25 of vouchers which I am dead pleased about. Also, £16 in M&S on a new bra. Thats it cash wise. Got a top £7 but used some of my pigsback vouchers so all in all not bad. Hope everyone is well safe and warm. Take care gang ,have a good evening.

    I've blown it :cry:

    It is the first week I've done this and I was convinced I could do it on £40. First half of the week was tough, it appears I spent almost £20 on things to take to people's houses (2 dinner invites this week, and one birthday)

    So yesterday I was up to £30, and I thought I could probably just about make it til Friday on £10, even though I'm supposed to be going out tomorrow night.

    BUT......... I stopped at a craft centre today on my way home from Nottingham, and ended up spending almost £20 on books, and cards. So I've blown it.

    Just to add complete insult to injury....... on Wednesday night whilst driving home in my fully insured and taxed car, completely sober and within the speed limit, I got flashed going through a red light. (it does seem as if those idiots who dash round uninsured and over the speed and booze limits never get caught) It turned as I went through it. I'm really cross (mostly with myself) and I'm just sat here waiting for the bad news to arrive in the post. :(

    Not a good start really. Feeling like a bit of a failure :cry:

    I have been soooo good this week and today I've totally fallen apart. Sent £1parking the car to got to dentist. £12 in the dentist for a check-up, bought dinner £2.31 in canteen and just eaten 3 creme eggs . Feel really sick now All this because I'm stressed (car insurance company want to speak to me re: claim going back last October). Really wish I could worry less.

    69p spent here on sweets and chocolate. (obviously needing childhood comfort because they were poppets and tutti fruttis!!)

    Me to. I stupidly just plucked a figure out of thin air when I set my first target this week, and didn't consider everyhting I had to spend, so feeling a bit of a failure myself :mad:

    Spend today was £4.50 on a train ticket and £6.58 in Tesco (only good point was I had a double points coupon)
