    Evening budgeteers

    I was back to work today and it was a large shock to the system. It was very windy here I nearly got blown away crossing the road and the billboard near the bus stop had blown down.

    I spent £1 on coffee at work today as I still had some money on my card. I also spend £3 on the bus but not counting that for this challenge as I have a travel budget. Weirdly enough it makes more sense financially for me to buy on the bus tickets today and tomorrow and get a monthly pass on Thursday. The strange workings of the bus system. :think:

  • Yay! NSD for me today. I knew it'd be easier once I was back at work - I barely noticed I wasn't spending.
    Mind you I barely had time to turn around so I didn't get much done.

    Good Morning, hope you are all still here and not blown away :)

    Was supposed to be back at work today but I have just had the most awful night with a stomach upset, so I am too scared to leave the house this morning :o

    Still, it's all good for the spending...

    Going to be a little more adventerous next week and go for £20 I think...

    Well I've not done too good on this challenge, out of my £50 allowance, I've already spent £35.05 on petrol, £7.94 in boots and given the childminder £10.50. Not to mention the emergency pull-ups on NYD that i should have got at the supermarket! Hopefully the petrol will last into next week, but I'll have to aim for a good lot of NSDs for the rest of the week, wish me luck!

    I need to join this but it might not be until next week now as I've already gone over my allowance :( So for next week I'm pledging £20.

    Edited to remove amount for veg box as re-read first post and it says not to include budgeted amounts :)
