    Good Morning :)

    I spent the whole of yesterday cleaning the bloomin' house. I seem to spend my weekends cooking, cleaning and shopping :( Never mind, my house is clean and tidy (for about 10 minutes when the kids get up) and it got me a NSD yesterday :)


    Sunday - NSD :)

    Hello all

    I had an afternoon with my friends in town yesterday, only really went to Primarni...Pradamark...you know the one! I spent a total of £33.50 (not this budget!!!) but I got 2 pairs of pj's, 2 handbags, a washbag, a bracelet and 8 pairs of socks. Don't think that's too bad personally! :p

    From this budget I got a pretzel (uber-yum!), then later a coffee and little cake in Starbucks. Total of £7.40 spent. No plans this week except work, so no plans to spend more...we'll see what the week brings!

    Sun 11 Mar: Pretzel, Starbucks - £7.40
    Mon 12 Mar: Planned NSD for this challenge!

    Welcome to the new joiners, I've updated the first post, and as usual please let me know if I've mucked up anything hugely obvious!!!

    Have a great Monday all (I'm shattered, really struggling today and got to leave for work in an hour... :(

    NSD for me today! Hooray... I feel much more like my old self than I have done for ages. I wish this feeling would stay instead of the feeling that my head might explode.

    Hi all

    welcome koike09and good luck, I've added you to the first post, everything should be explained there but please shout if you're not sure!

    I've already gone over budget...pub yesterday after work and today spends on a bottle of Amaretto and some chocolate and some hobnobs to replace the pack of my mum's that I secretly scoffed last night, how embarassing... and HOW expensive are they???!!! £1.75!!! NEVER again!!!

    Sun 11 Mar: Pretzel, Starbucks - £7.40
    Mon 12 Mar: Pub £9.18!!!
    Tue 13 Mar: Amaretto, chocolate etc £8.72

    total so far £25.30/£20 BIG FAT RED!!!

    I'm seriously running out of money now, so need to be careful for the rest of the month!!!

    I hope everyone's week is going well... Just checking in!

    SUN, MON & TUE are all NSD for me so far... received an £8.97 payment from Amazon so in the orange at the moment!

    Yay!!!

    Don't give up those that have overspent... if you feel temptation lurking - put that money aside in a jar so at the end of the week - although you may have had a red week... you still saved something... Maybe we should have another colour for a REALLY BAD week lol...
