    It's just called spending, it's icon is a wallet with $100 bills (lol i wish) it's just like a better version of a spending dairy imo, lets hope this week list goes better than last weeks lol.

    Opps thats didn't go well i bought this deal yesterday, now to be fair hubbys been lusting after a big canon for years (seriously not exagerating it's been years) and we borrow the inlaws oe for big events which is acually a worse camera so i do feel this is a justified expense but maybe i'm just trying to justify it to myself :rotfl: who cares it's coming now anyway :j:j:j

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    OK small chnage in plans i'm going to go do an xmas shop this morning, we need lots of fruit and dairy aswell.

    Had takeaway last night, feel bad now as it was £14 and it made me feel abit ill, but if you'd have seen how stressed i was at 6 o'clock and no dinner started yet you'd understand why :(

    This week stands at -£239 and that doesn't include my camera, now to be fair i still have no bamking so thats acually just all my spends and garenteed money, i don't know if hubbys been paid or not, i think he was paid for 2 weeks last friday.

    I found £10 in my drier, i have no idea where it came from i'm so tight with my money i know it's not mine, and the only clothes in the drier was ds's bedding and jeans and it's not his, i can only assme hubby got £10 extra for something and never told me, anyway i've sent him for chinese with it :) he's a happy bunny he loves chinese.

    We have enough desil to see us threw until after xmas hence the big spends, then you have my expensive shopping and my night out last weekend, off on a shopping trip on wed i don't need, a packet of jammies for the youngest for xmas, some socks for them, socks for hubby and thats pretty much it, i'll hopefully get free dinner aswell.

    I still havnet been to cash for clothes so thats my plan for this week

    -go to cash for clothes
    -don't spend too much on my shopping trip
    - when people collect their puppies next week make sure to put cahs straight into the bank
    -only spend change in my purse £15.51 (not including the shopping trip ofcourse)
    - go shopping and keep to list
    -check everyday for surveys
