    Tuesday - Bread, Milk & Fruit & eggs - £5.50

    Wednesday - Bus to work - £1.00, Petrol - £10, Window Cleaner - £5.50
    Thursdat: £10 eyebrows wax.

    So i'm still in target but with £20 for my night out tonight, its not looking likely i will stick to it. Its £10 travel and that only leaves £10 for drinks and to tell you the truth i think i'll drink more than that!

    Anyways, i'm trying to count my weeks from Monday-Sunday so will let you know how i get on !

    Hi all,

    Firstly thanks for all the congrats!! I'm not putting it on my sig officially until I've confirmed with them all at the end of the month that they are definitely clear!! However CCCS told me they are making payments on the 14th December because of Christmas so they should hopefully receive the money just before Christmas, which would be lovely!!

    I've spent sooooooo much this week, annoying because I had fairly high weekly budgets for December because there's bound to be a lot on, but because I've overspent this week I've had to take it off what I was going to spend later in the month ISYWIM. So not that well off in December after all!! :mad:

    Last night I went to my friends house with another friend to help her try on her wedding dress... it was gorgeous and she got a real bargain too! So I bought a bottle of wine and some nice olives to take round. Then today I've been really naughty/unprepared (unlike me!) and then have payday pint after work... spend spend spend spend spend spend spend... at least it's my own money though!

    Sun 27 Nov: £6.80 and £3.50 cigs, £9 drinks, £2.95 soup - TOTAL: £22.25 :eek:
    Mon 28 Nov: £3.36 cigs (and Petrol budget spend)
    Tue 29 Nov: AL! £11.95 for me and mum ro see Breaking Dawn, £6.90 cigs

    Wed 30 Nov: Payday! £6.80 cigs, £5.90 Starbucks for me and friend who has helped me out with stuff, £1.85 sandwich lady, Pub £22.50, Books £14 and cigs for tmw £6.42 (and Tesco wine order budgeted spend and Petrol budget spend and small Food budget spend)

    Thu 1 Dec: Wine £5.49, Olives £2.50
    Fri 2 Dec: £8.60 Starbucks for me and friend to say thank you (different one!) and breakfast for me, £6.61 cigs, £2.65 sandwich lady, pub £tbc

    Total £127.78/£80

    Grrrrrr.......

    Happy Friday all! :D
