    Evening all

    I seem to have about £4 left in my purse, although will probably need to buy a paper tomorrow so wont declare just yet, although its looking green. :D

    Have had other spends this week but it has come out of savings as it has been purchases for the house and towards the DIY [STRIKE]we [/STRIKE] hubby has been doing.

    Enjoy the Easter weekend all. I am so looking forward to some chocolate on Sunday. :D

    Ah dang:o

    Budget was blown yesterday. I am declaring red.

    Sun - NSD
    Mon - £8 (lunch with girls)
    Tues £7 (lunch between meetings with colleagues).
    Wed - NSD
    Thurs - £1.55 (water&Paper, coffee) + £10 charity + £10 Mum for easter lunch
    Fri - £14.99 - groceries + flowers for grave and then OH asked me to do his shopping £33.00 which I may never see.

    Total = £84.54/£30

    I really should have factored in Easter this week. Maybe OH will give me money for his shopping but I wouldn't ask as he pays for so much. Must do better next week:D

    Please put me down for £40 for next week and fingers crossed and all that.

    I'm declaring myself as in budget having spent £28.32-£30. :D I really enjoyed the challenge, and it did make me really think about what I was spending my money on, and whether I really needed something!

    This week can I put in a budget of £50 children are off school, so no doubt will want money to go out!!
