So I've done a bit of budgeting, which has resulted in me now having grocery, petrol, child care and kid's stuff budgets. This means so far this week I've only spent £3.49 in mcdonalds, which was very naughty, £7 something for a pair of tap shoes the rest of the money came out of my PayPal account and £2.80 for books and a peg basket in the charity shop plus 30p parking whilst I was in the cs. I'm a bit happier now I have my budgets and will readjust my allowance next week accordingly, and I'll update my signature later.

Sun - papers - £3.50
Mon - NSD
Tues - NSD
Wed - NSD
Thurs - £9.75 (3.60 swimming/£3 treats/£3.15 sarnie & paper)
Fri - NSD

Declaring green which is the same colour as my face:D
£13.25/£35

This weeks update:

Sunday NSD
Monday NSD
Tuesday NSD
Wednesday some money left my purse but it was budgeted, also in the evening I took the children out for dinner, this was out of the grocery budget, justified as it kept with the theme we are studying
Thursday had lunch with the children at ikea as I was running errands for OH's work they paid me enough to cover all my outgoing as well as making a profit. Having done the errands we sat around ikeas cafe reading books, playing games and drinking free drinks :money:
Friday NSD planned, I have no plans to leave the house, children are out with OH
