How much have you spent? 15th March

Hello everyone!!!!

Well it was payday for me today, except...... I didnt get paid!! :mad: :mad: It happened last month too, everyone else did apart from me, very frustrating indeed!! Still, all sorted now, but such a pain in the bum!!

And then it kind of went down hill from there with banana bread, hot chocolate, lunch out & now I've just nipped to the 7/11 and spent around $5 on chocolate & a drink.... So all in all, about $20!! (not to mention not particularly healthy!!)

And hair tonight will be $150 (budgeted & saved for though).

On the plus side I have just transferred $3,000 into my UK savings, but the rest of my trip is going to be pretty pricey so it still doesnt feel like enough. But I wont moan as I appreciate where I am posting and some/most people may not want to hear it...

Gorgeous sunny day, has been a bit cold, grey & rainy of late - and I reckon it will be nice at the weekend, and even nicer in Queensland, so hoorah!!

I will spend $0.00 tonight after hair and aim for a NSD tomorrow too just to balance it out a bit...

Have a good day everyone.

xx

    Australia, by the sounds of things!


    I have spent nothing so far,but I am about to spend £100 on moving two sofas across London.

    Which is actually a moneysaving exercise, as my friends have given them to me for free, and I would have had to buy some sofas otherwise!

    I have budgeted £25 to spend on a girls night out this evening with my best friend (who i've not seen since December, and she lives just down the road, so it's ridiculous really)... other than that, I think £3 on lunch, but have a pigsback boots voucher for that. Hurrah!

    Morning Everyone,

    I'm supposed to be going out right about now. But I couldn't do it.

    I couldn't miss Jeremy Kyle. Hehe. (I'll go out after I promise.)

    I have a Mystery Shop to do this afternoon, I'm also going to go into Asda and work out how much everything I need to buy next week is so I can budget it completely.

    Anyway, today I need salad stuff, so I will probably spend around £5.00.

    Still going well with my budget though.
