    Morning all

    Rubbish night's sleep again last night and 12 hour day...oh joy...!

    Just got quotes for tyres and I'm going in tomorrow on my day off - feel slightly ill at this, but they need doing... £239.70 for 4 new tyres, fitting, balancing and tracking. Cheapest one I could find for mid range tyres (I do so many miles I'm not having budget!) and it's actually the place I would have chosen and have been using for years anyway!


    Sun 8 Jan - £3.80 pub (was meant to be coffee!!! :o )
    Planned Mon 9 Jan - True NSD, work 0745-2000
    Planned Tue 10 Jan - AL, NSD for challenge, haircut £40 budgeted
    Planned Wed 11 Jan - NSD for challenge, couple of bits from food budget as fresh, work 0745-2000
    Planned Thu 12 Jan - True NSD, work 0745-2000
    Planned Fri 13 Jan - Starbucks £3.10, work 0745-2000


    Total so far: £3.80/£15

    Hi all

    I'd like to pledge £35 this week. Plans are to take n&ns back to swimming on thurs (my loyalty cheap card has ended for 2011 and no sign of the 2012 card arriving so swims may be slightly dearer.)

    Friday is usual take out and wine but other than that I shouldn't need to spend much.

    Sun - papers - £3.50
    Mon - NSD
    Tues ?

  • Evening all

    First post has been updated. Welcome to Miss149 and KellyKing1987 let us know how you get on over the week.

    I am reporting a spend of 50p for milk for breakfast at work.
    Weekly Spend Challenge: £0/£30


  • Another nsd for me. So still have all of my extra cash in my purse. Lovely

  • I spent £3.60 at work tonight.. £1.80 on 2 Red Bulls, and another £1.80 on some Comfort for Washing.
    (Used staff discount to get them down to £1.80 each though!)

    Off to Canterbury tomorrow for a day out, something different... just trawling the inter web for money off vouchers for restaurants!
    SAVINGS: £63.86 // £3,000
