Lunch sorted for today for me also (weight watchers frozen meal) (will serve with salad) - so don't think I need to spend anything today but I have a feeling I'm missing something ?? so there may be a spend on something?

If you saw my post about my money spreadsheet the other day well I had an :idea: late last night as I wasn't getting anywhere with it and kept faffing/changing it etc but not getting it how I wanted? I kept going round in circles.

Anyhow, as I say, I an :idea: !

I have kept things really simple. I have my money spreadsheet within which I have a spending diary to record ALL SPENDS. This is for those spends that are very random for example the raffle at SW last night but also lunch at the pub.

Then I have two columns. Misc spending and usual spends. The raffle and pub meal went in misc spends and my sw membership went in usual spends. In my sheet for expenditure summary, this picks up the misc spending figure and obviously increases over the month as I spend more. It will be interesting to see how this figure compares over the coming months as I try to cut back. Any sums included in "usual spends" will already be included in my expenditure sheet :j

Its finally coming together and I'm interested to see what happens - how much of a shock it gives me!

Happy hump day all!

Suddenly realised last night I had to pick up a prescription, so off I dashed to B00ts (luckily where I live now it's a late one!). My prescriptions are charge exempt, so no spends there, but while I was waiting I browsed round the store, remembered I had 3x £5 No7 vouchers, so bought 2 more nail varnishes! Not bad at £2 each to be fair! And I still have the 3rd voucher...

Sun 10 Jun: £16.26
Mon 11 Jun: £8.15 cinema and snacks
Tue 12 Jun: 70p choccy bar, £4 nail varnishes x2

Total: £29.11/ £25

I think my only spend today was on a huge bottle of sweet chilli sauce (£1.99) from a oriental foods supermarket. I usually buy it from the supermarket and its £1.99 for a small bottle!

I did go in Mr T this morning to get some strawberries but they didn't look particularly appetizing so I didn't bother and I'm sure I didn't go anywhere or buy anything else ?

Why am I so forgetful ??? Why do I have to sit here and analyse my day step by step to see if any money left my purse ??? :rotfl:
