    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 :j

    Nothing spent in this budget today. Going bowling tonight as part of my first mystery shopping assignment, so should be a NSD...

    2p is still 2p. :j

    £4 spent today, was talked into going to Zumba, only been once before. I was in the car park all set to come home but i ventured in and loved it, already planning to go again next week.

    So that puts me at £8.77 / £15 so far.
