Weekly Spend Challenge w/c 27 May 12

Found some clotted cream in W@itrose - it's from Cornwall unfortunately (I'm a Devonian), but I'm sure it'll be nice with the scones I make!!

Anyway, another £1.97 spent, so I'm on £16.58/£20. Only thing left to get is maybe some posh jam as a treat! Was going to treat myself to a bottle of something for the Sunday street party, but going to have to rehearse in the evening so I'll be sticking to the tea and elderflower cordial

I'm a devonian too, and I have to say after several taste tests at uni with a cornish friend, Devon Clotted cream and custard is miles better than Cornish! haha

I spent £3.97 on 3 McFlurrys tonight. Brings my total to £18.81/£20 so far. On the plus side though I didn't go out after all tonight so a few quid saved there.

Hey Flyinggiraffe, where abouts?

£1 spent on a cheeky Almay bronzer I spotted in one of the Pound-ish shops, planning a NSD tomorrow so hopefully that will take my week to £17.58/£20.00. Not declaring yet though as I count Saturdays...

Sooo the street party's been cancelled really gutted because I'd never been to one before, plus I'd bought all the ingredients to bake. So I baked everything anyway: a double chocolate cake for my friend's birthday party tomorrow, and elderflower shortbread with lemon icing AND sultana scones. These will just be offered to my friends now...

If anyone lives in SE London and wants to take some off my hands, let me know!! Don't think they'll survive being posted though

I've gone over budget this week. Spent £2.60 on ice lollies today bringing my total to £21.41/£20. Not too bad but not great either. Must try harder next week.

Please put me down for £40 next week as the kids are off school on Monday and Tuesday so it's bound to cost me.

Hi all

I spent another £1.70 yesterday, so that takes me to £7.40 / £25 :j:j

Yay, well chuffed with that.

Will carry £15 over to next week. Don't think i've got much on.

Hey all

Hope you've had all had a nice week.

Mine was ok, up until last night when a nice evening went horribly wrong. I'm not going into details but ended up in a very public blowout. Not a happy bunny. Have been a hermit today and binged on obscene amounts of food. Also have overspent massively again this week.

Tomorrow mum and dad are coming down at 1, to help me paint my room. I also need to get my crown made for Tuesday for work - Bought gold card for that today, but all the other stuff I already have which is good.

Not a lot on this week - I'll plan max £20 spends.
