    Yesterday was not great, I spent quite a bit on food etc. Today I have managed a NSD, first Uni day I've had where I've managed it so I'm quite pleased with myself!

    I made my own lunch last night which should last a couple of days ( sweet potato and spinach soup ), but I've brought £3 to work so I can go to the farmer's market at lunch and get some local veg. Have been meaning to for months and I haven't got round to it.

    Two of my favourite vegetables, any chance of the recipe cos it sounds yum!

    I spent £21.05 on diesel, which will last me for the month hopefully (budgetted for!) and am going to the cinema tonight with free tickets (yay!) so will buy a bottle of coke & a few sweets in the supermarket beforehand rather than pay inflated cinema prices, so about £2 I think.

    Bad day, bad day - £40 on haircut together with straightening solution, and £20 on straighteners :eek: £9 on drying rack (at least we're not using the tumble drier!), £11 on cleansing stuff and tights, £3.50 on toothpaste... DH and I need to do our figures, but overall it seems our budgets are working well.

    We've scraped together a tiny amount of saving to put into a business venture which should provide us with a good income, if not millions! Currently in the process of setting up bank accounts, limited company status, getting personal and premises licenses etc. Hope your venture works out well too. Btw our day job is providing hosting and email so if you're looking for really good quality hosting then PM me :)
