Hi all

I can't believe this, it's been a long time, but I actually nearly had a complete NSD today! I had to buy yoghurts from my grocery budget annoyingly, as the one I had left in work for my brekkie I think someone had squidged as the lid was all split and it had leaked out and gone disgusting. Grr... especially at 37.5p a yoghurt!!! Grr again!

Right, just a flying visit as I've been trying desperately to balance budgets for like 2 hours now, the next couple of months until September are going to be tight but I think ok, after that I'm dandy!

Off to do some kind of packing now, I really don't have much free time till I move in ELEVEN days!!! Gah!!! Hope you've all had a nice Tuesday and weren't stuck in an oven, ahem, I mean office, like mine! Phwoar, sweat box in there!!!

Sun 20 May: £6.25 garden centre, £4.50 wine
Mon 21 May: £5.20 pub
Tue 22 May: NSD for challenge! Hurrah!

Total so far: £15.95 / £20

Then nipped into Lush after exam. £10.95

£12.95/£20

Back at work tomorrow, so hopefully 3 NSD ahead

I haven't had a good day cashwise. Not sure what's the matter but I hope it's a temporary relapse. Went out into town during lunch and spent £2.04 in the newsagent, followed by £4.29 in $ubway - I didn't even need a sandwich, never mind a footlong sandwich... no wonder I'm a fatty.
Still, it's a bit of a one off these days and normal service shall be resumed tomorrow.

£5 on drinks for a friend and I today. She's moving back to the States so had a lovely catch-up, and she gave me her GHDs because she can't take them with her :j I have lovely friends, would never have splurged on them myself so feel thoroughly spoilt! Total for the week so far is £17.40/£25

Well I thought I was doing OK then ended up having to pay £10 towards a collection for a thank you present. Long story and I didnt mind contributing but would have been nice to know how much it was going to cost me beforehand.

Then £2.80 for lunch for DS and £1.50 for icecreams for the kids so I have £10.70 left. Have also spent £16 on food this week which takes me over my food budget so I am a bit cross with myself really.

Nothing much else planned for the week so we will see!

Sounds like everyones having a bit of a spend this week - Glad i'm not the only one!

Forgot my lunch so had to go to the canteen at work. £2.84 on a very delicious morroccan chicken pitta bread and some mints so my breath didn't smell in my meeting!


Took an old DSi to trade in and got £87 back (matched to deal online I found) but the bank had closed before i could bank it so used £20 of this to buy a cardi,vest and some sunglasses, which I'm not going to count from my £20 weekly budget

£15.79/£20

Won't be on until Sunday as off to visit friend in London (my resolve to spend will be greatly tested when I go to Camden) so hope you all have a good weekend

And £19 tonight on the planned meal.

So spends for me of £33.66 / £25 :eek::eek:

Not happy as this will eat into next weeks spends as i dont get paid until Weds. Bummer.

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the weather.
