    Not a good day.

    £166 on having the car fixed I know cheaper than a newer car.

    £124 on buildings and contents insurance.

    And still need to buy a monitor the one for the desktop died the other night. As that means husband can stop using my laptop.


    Good job I am using a 0% card to spend on and the insurance was already saved for.

    But even so :eek:


    Yours

    I forgive you!!!!! To be honest(BIG confession time) my very fave food is not soup but Sandwiches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My idea of perfection is soup and sandwiches. Which is kind of funny as I love cooking and make all sorts of elaborate food(cheap though!). I find cooking really relaxing and bake a lot as well. And despite all that Show me a butty(sandwich for posh southern types!!!!!)and some soup and I'm in heaven!!

    annie there is a sandwich place in the food court of my local shopping centre that do an amazing soup and half sandwich deal! I always get the lentil soup (pure heaven) and a tuna sarnie and it's just divine...bloody costly too mind you! but only ever as an occasional treat.


    as for my spends :mad: moozie after a really good couple of weeks today I blowed my budget :( not too badly and could probably be saved (not totally added it up yet) by NOT getting pizza at a friends house tonight...but I don't like that plan much ;)

    we had first aid training at work today, I was taught the basics of cpr then we had to do pool evacuation training which involved myself and collegues all piling in the pool and taking it in turns to drown while the rest 'saved' us! although it was cracking fun noone told me beforehand that only wearing a bikini, well vest n pants, was a bad idea, especially as we sat in the freezing studio for a good couple of hours beforehand! so I had to nip to asda and buy a new t shirt for £3 first...it's one I can and will wear again, though not in a swimming pool!

    then my soup lunch leaked in my locker so I went to asda again and spent £1.54 on some lunch.

    have got a bogof pizza voucher and as it's £10 I'll only be spending £5 for a large pizza for dvd night so I think I'll blow my budget slightly and chill out after a very very long week xx
