Oh dear LC, not a good week, but sometimes its the way it goes. Doesn't look like it was wasted as such, you need to eat. How's the shared living going?

I always plan approx £20 per week at the beginning of the month and adapt it slightly if i have something going on. However i feel next week might be a spendy one so will have to find more than £20 to get through. Hubby is away this weekend so might be driving up to meet him on Sunday and staying until monday. Then obviously will need to keep ourselves occupied. But i will find the money from somewhere. But at least i can try and reign it in during the following weeks then.

I have had a bit of a down week this week but sistafromanothermista you have made me smile with your comments.

Will declare at £10.77 / £15. £2 of which i havent spent yet, but will be buying a paper tomorrow. then i will pot the £4.23 into my sealed pot.

Have a good weekend all.

Shared living going well thanks ETO, it's taking a bit of getting used to, but overall I'm really pleased. Just don't feel like I've had any time to myself!

Hi guys

New thread up HERE

I haven't decided on my budget yet, I've got a couple of things on... tomorrow we're going out for my friend's birthday lunch - I've got a separate bit of money put aside for that (and another birthday meal out later in the month). And on Thursday I'm going to the cinema with mum, she's got a buy one get one free to see What to Expect When You're Expecting, which is meant to be really good, so effectively we're paying half price which is fab! Think that will be just under £4.

I'll have a think and post later, I'm going to be out pretty much the rest of today, round at my friends and then a couple of hours this evening at bike fest at Ashton Court where her hubby is riding.

Have a lovely day all, at least the sky is blue and it's stopped raining here, even if it is still hideously windy!
