    :)Morning everyone. This really helped me last week so I am back again.

    Please put me down for £10. For me, this is only for spending in the week on myself (petrol, food, xmas presents come out of a separate account). My £10 is to cover the odd lunch and drink at work and the odd bar of choccy :p

    Got a lunch tomorrow but that should be no more than £3 and a drink on Friday lunchtime. Fingers crossed I come in under budget.

    Let's go .....

  • Evening all

    First post is updated let me know if I have missed anything.

    I have had a cooking day, sorting things out for the freezer. Feeling very organised so hopefully lunches will be all homemade this week and no spends there.

    Been to the supermarket but all comes out of the gorcery budget so no spends for me to report today.

    LC enjoy breaking dawn all the report I have heard were better than expected.

    Ruby your night away sounds fab I hope you enjoy it. I was trying to sort out a night away for OHs birthday but can't seem to find anywhere decent without spending a fortune and I am scared the hotel restaurants will be full of drunk office xmas parties so I think we might be leaving it until January.

    Laisbojar welcome back, always nice to see people back.

    Welcome Munchin let us know how you get on over the week.

  • Morning everyone,

    Frozen morning here WOW!

    2 more days until payday :rotfl:.

    Today I am returning a couple of items I bought on impulse last week, giving me a surplus of £15.00 :j. Thank God for return policies lolol.

    I am very tired, my DS is poorly and was coughing all night. I barely slept! :( Hope he doesnt cough as much during the day, bless him.

    LC, is your mobile on orange? I just thought of orange wednesdays - 2 for 1 on cinema tickets.

    PP, thank you.

    Ok, I have to go.. work is calling me lolol. Have a lovely day everyone and dont forget your gloves, scarfs and hats.. It is freezing out there ;)
