Weekly Spend Challenge w/c 3 June 12
Comments

No spends for me today :j and if I'm extra good and be boring (and stay in :rotfl:) the earliest I will need to spend any money will be Friday when I'm having my eyes tested (and which should get refunded by work ) then its lunch/shopping/theatre with friends on Saturday (so danger time there) but hoping to limit spends.
Was going to catch the train and visit another friend but she didn't seem that keen so money saved on train fare/lunch/(including buying her (birthday) lunch and the unnecessary spending that would result....
Hoping to come in well under budget this week :j0 -

Missed this thread this week but have tried to stick to £20 again. The bank holiday meant I was away from home and i've been so busy trying to catch up at work that come the evenings I cannot be bothered to logon.
Spent £5 on snacks for the drive home on Tuesday,
£5/£20 - Will be putting any notes that are left in my holiday fund tomorrow evening
