    I had another no spend today apart from hairdresser which was budgeted for! Seem to have read that somewhere else before!!
    Also, spookily enough I woke up with a sore throat too - it must be down to the lack of chocolate that we are all suffering.

    It's the wedding do tomorrow and the vouchers still haven't turned up - think I'll just have to pretend to be dizzier than normal and pretend I forgot them & then drop them in when they come - do you guys think that is acceptable? If not I'll have to go into town tomorrow & buy some (WHAT? SPEND MONEY:mad: ) and then be left with vouchers I don't really want.

    Anyway hope you all feel better soon.

    I'm pleased it is £10 per week, but think in that case I will shave some more off my budget so I don't get too carried away.

    we must all have missed that one too!

    Pippo hun, hold out, they might just turn up tomorrow.

    If not make sure you put a card on the table, if they're anything like my uncle and his wife, they didnt get round to presents for a few days anyway, so you can always drop them in when they turn up! Maybe just pop a little seperate note inside the card.

    No real harm done......

    Another week of no spend. I think CAFCgirl that £10 a week is very generous, I don't know what I will do with all that money. I am now so accustomed to spending nothing!
