    Gave the children 50p each this morning, as they had a mufti day at school, and then a £1 each this evening for their club, so a total spend of £3 today.

    Lots :o but some of it was actually free :D

    Got a £25 voucher from work, which was actually worth £37.50 because of the extra discounts at the moment. So bought a lovely Pilgrim bracelet :j
    Got about £5's worth left too :D

    Also bought the matching necklace and earrings BUT that was the last of my Christmas money

    Then just £4 on raffle tickets for Comic Relief

    £5 in asda on a pair of black pants for work... as i only realised sitting on the bench in the park on my lunch hour (about 2pm) that i had been walking around all day with a huge brown scorch mark up the back of my leg!!!! Id burnt my trousers by putting the drying-maiden with my work uniform on too close to the gas fire (and then falling asleep on the couch!!) the other night! :eek: NO-ONE in work told me about it though!!! And im a bit cheesed as they were my favourite comfy pants and cost me £18! grr..

    and a budgetted £89.18 on a council tax bill.. :eek:

    But paid for my dinner using boots points (as i was starving and had finished all my packed lunch still with a grumbly belly! hehe)

    I spent £1.80 on parking, £5 on lunch and coffees. Not very proud of myself this week, I've let my budget slip, but yesterday I saw a friend I've not seen for a couple of years and we went out for dinner. Today I'm tired and couldn't think about making sandwiches or budgeting. Anyone else like that? I just want to eat chocolate and have nice (and hot) things for lunch instead of sandwiches.

    I had a £40 budget, I've spent £66 already. Even if I take out my unavoidable parking (£15) I still overspent by £10. Oh well. I've also decided to do my budget from Sunday until Saturday, otherwise I just blow it all on Saturday.

    I've worked hard this week though and it's been a good earner.

    Have a good weekend all!
