Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 25th Dec 2011

Hehe, thanks pp!! Literally everyone I've mentioned it too thinks I'm an absolute freak for getting into so much detail, so I'm keeping my mouth shut from now on!!! At least you guys get where I'm coming from!

Annoyingly went to pub for 1 drink after work - I didn't pay for mine, however had left the 20 cigs I bought today in my desk ready for tomorrow, and obviously ran out, so for the sake of 2 cigs to smoke on the way home I bought a pack of ten! It's only money I would have spent later in the week, but still, very annoying!!! In my purse I now have £9.57 which is all my money left till Friday (payday!), however I have food, petrol and cigs (loads now!!!) and am going for a NSD tomorrow as don't need anything. The ONLY thing I might do is get baking ingredients with this leftover money as I had a baking recipe book for Christmas and it had some recipes in for savoury muffins and things which I thought sounded exciting. So MAY get ingredients and do baking tomorrow night. But maybe not! Watch this space!!!

Sun 25 Dec: £5 in pub (given to dad towards drinks)
Mon 26 Dec: NSD
Tue 27 Dec: Cigs £6.65
Wed 28 Dec: Cigs £6.42 (and a pint of milk for work but I claimed that back from petty cash...49p - they laughed at me, but I said look after the pennies...!), also £3.47 cigs
Planned Thu 29 Dec: NSD?
Planned Fri 30 Dec: PAYDAY! Cigs £6.45 and New Years Eve budget of £50 absolute max to cover alcohol and ingredients for the contributions I am making and my cigs for the night, quitting after that (also not from this budget - big food shop for week from food budget, car tax, and petrol from petrol budget)

Total so far: £21.54/£80

GAH!
I've blown the budget again this week, although admittedly not as bad as last week. Spent £14.40 out and about today shopping in the sales and getting cards and presents to put away for later in the year.
Next week I'm back at work. If I can't do next week on less than £50 there's something very wrong.
