ok not sure of the total so far but i think im going to go overbudget again this week. I have just checked my sons nappies and i only have 3 left. although im potty training him, he still needs them for night times. Do i wait till friday when i do the grocery shop in the hope that i wont use them all or buy some tomorrow and blow my budget. hmmm

54p spent yesterday on a choccie bar, couldn't resist, but 54p, what the..... Robbing.....

so that's £2.70 this week so far, didnt go out for tea last night as planned as my friend didnt get in touch, so should be able to finish this week on a high and even be able to carry a note over to next weeks spends.:j

(Had a tin of tuna in my drawer at work but left my pitta bread and salad at home)

£2.29/£20

I think I might be tempting fate but hoping to stay under £5 before Friday pm!

£11.61 spent on lots of food and ingredients: I've got a friend coming over tomorrow night so I'm going to teach her how to make sushi, then Friday I'm baking a chocolate cake for my friend's birthday party on Saturday, and sultana scones and elderflower biscuits with lemon icing for a street party I'm going to on Sunday.

Diet starts Monday...

Anyhoo that's £14.61/£20 so far... still need to try and find clotted cream - in London!

Spent £4.84 in Sainsbury's cafe today on a breakfast sandwich and a coffee. It was to stop me spending more on my shopping when I was hungry:rotfl:

Also had to put £10 for a birthday card. Am going out tonight, will keep the spend low but will probably go over budget this week.

Spent money on lunch in the canteen again! I had a whiff of it as I walked passed to go to a meeting and on the way back I couldn't resist.


£5.79/£20.00

I've made progress though, would have bought newspapers/magazines usually, but had a browse online instead

£3 today as i had to put into a collection at work. Resisting the urge to pop to the shops as i don't need anything. Just fancy some choc and dont have anthing nice in the cupboards.

so £5.70 so far this week.
