OMG:eek::eek: my budget has been blown completely and utterly last few days.... Bought a lovely glass wall unit off someone on facebook for my bedroom £20 worth at least £100 tho, then won a fab leather tub chair on ebay locally that is £24 but from maskreys and in perfect condition so a few hundred for that too:D:D... then went to m0rris0ns and picked up a few chickens and half price cereal but had some stamps left over to pay a little of it but the niceys well blablabla im well over !!!
Im also sitting chomping a dent in my syns for the week as I type but one dodgy meal isnt going to ruin a whole week ....

I was sitting bored in work today pondering on shopping today and when i think back to last january upto my max on overdraft behind in my bills and 4 stone heavier im now upto date with bills paid £200 deposit on my summer hol paid £62 for a sun holiday cheapy got £150 towards second deposit for summer hol due end of feb and xmas was 4 weeks away so all in all altho i didnt need the chair n cupboard i blooming wanted them :T....also got £48 in £2 coins n £31 in £1 coins saved for spends thanks to fab forums like this .....

Hi WD - you've done really well this week I think and just think of those bargains and how much you would have spent if they were bought new? I notice you live in S Wales, me too - what part do you live in? Not gonna stalk you mind, just wondering hee! hee!

I love this challenge as it really keeps me focused - was going to buy some chocolate today but thought better of it and am so glad now as that money is still in my purse - what is the second purse thing you mention tho? I am intrigued!

DD not going to cadets tonight, so that's £3 that I would have spent, so a NSD for me - yippee:j

Well I did quite well in terms of spends - £31.64/£50 but then had a treatment to have my tattoo removed £130 :eek: in fairness though (read justification ) I have had 2 sessions already but there was still a shadow & I received more salary than I was expecting from my new job I started this week. But budget blown - oh well tomorrow another day. Have a few get togethers with friends next week so need to work out my budget
