littleskintdragon

spent some more today

Now have £13.69 left for the week.
This is the first week I've done this, and Its really making me see where I spend and how much I usually would spend without thinking. So far I have spent £16.31 out of £30.

Morning all, spent £6.30 yesterday on cinema and parking. DH and I had agreed no cards no flowers etc to save money, made him some tiffin from the GC recipe collection which he prob enjoyed more than a silly token present.

Planning NSD today, good luck all!

Am off to Cardiff today so £11.75 for the train tickets, which wasn't allocated in this week's budget. :mad: My friend, her DD and my DD are going prom dress shopping so that should be fun.:j It's DDs birthday on Friday so whilst there will buy 2 boxes of Kris*py Kreem donuts for her birthday, but that is allocated from another budget, so no spend there. It just all depends what DD tucks me up for whilst shopping that worries me - know there will be a lunch, so will try and keep it to that.:D

Well my 1p got blown lol... Am 65p over budget... but... it was spent buying a few treats for someone who bought something off me on Amazon... so I should get a return from that...

Question: Am expecting a cheque from Music Magpie this week :-) so even though I have gone over - does that negate my overspend and make it an ORANGE week? Here's hoping!!!

Just made a job lot of Spanish Barley... so that was dinner tonight sorted... and lunch tomorrow... and dinner tomorrow night... ha ha!!! :-O

Keep up the good work everyone!!! And even if you have gone over... keep other spends to a minimum... and that's extra cash potentially going off your debts!!! Good luck everyone!!! xxx

Well am now back from Cardiff and had a great day! Got £39 refund for a bag I took back, so bought a new top for DS and one for myself so that wiped out the refund of the £39. Only other spend over what I thought was £16.90 for a top for DD so not too bad - could have been a lot worse.:j Am over budget, but at least it is damage limitation. Am quite pleased with that as could have been alot worse:D

As I suspected - I've just totalled everything up and I'm already over budget and it's only Thursday. On Monday I spent another £29.86 taking me to £51.02. I have actually spent more, but from other pots (groceries and hairdressing), but I have another 2 days before I declare so it's all about damage limitation now.
