    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 spent 40p on a chocolate bar to go with my coffee at work (they do free tea/coffee at breaktime but have to pay for choccie!) because it's Friday, I've had a rotten week (to me) and 40p on choccie is better than £40 on new shoes!


    edited: just counted the loose change glass in the kitchen and that has nearly £5 in it :D hurrah!

    Hi did well on my spends today as instead of going for shoppping around lunchtime which means me and little one have a lunch out we went early today and had a 'morning tea' instead - biscuit for him (took his drink with me) and a cup of coffe for me - only £2.60 spend so £7.40 left in budget.

    Also managed to keep within shopping budget - set £40 and only spent £32.63 :j

    Finally took some lights back and got my money back as they were faulty so got £38 back on that and also a DVD I bought on impulse last week before I started this and hadnt watched so got £6.97 back on that too.

    So all in all a good day - have a weeks shopping in, have had a coffee out as a treat and I am £9.74 better of Hope I have more weeks like this one.:rotfl:

    Tomorrow will be a bit of a spend as taking the little one for a day out to spend some quality time together as I feel I have been spending less time with him lately (working extra days and getting the house ready for selling etc).
  • Toooooooooo much !!!!!!!!!

    Started with £100 to the courts for my Allocation Questionaire fee for claiming back bank charges, and went downhill from there throughout the day.

    I stopped counting when it got to £200 :cry:

    Oranges £1
    carrots 50p

    Total £3.48

    Did a small shop, was planned but more than I wanted to spend due to DS going to GB baseball cadet trials this weekend and needing to take lunches/food for two days (he's staying overnight) - £46.35. Petrol for the car £40.27. That should last a week, including going to Upper Heyford to fetch him on Sunday afternoon.
