    Mon - £3.00 lunch:o & £1.15 snacks:o

    Total = £4.15/£20

    I've made my own lunch today and hope to do that the rest of the week. I have no plans to go anywhere this week apart from work so money should stay in purse until Friday.

    First post has been updated let me know if I have missed anything. Welcome ms_knight_ryder let us know how you get on this week.

    I have no spends to report so far this week. Bookgroup tomorrow night so I will need to buy wine but hopefully I can sneak that out of the grocery budget.

    The rain has resumed here :(

    Found £3.60 in loose change and received a cheque for £85.00 that I'd forgotten I had coming :D

    Am not going to spend the £85.00 but as a treat I kept the change and bought myself some chips and curry!!! With the £85.00 am gonna be green, and still got £2.39 to spend.

    Whooooop!

  • Morning all.

    This morning i have been on the phone, ordering a shower head from my mates work place, its cost £30.14 i was panicking a bit at the chunk it would takefrom my budget, but then realised it comes out of my house fixing budget, i hav e it as i am fixing up the bathroom and bedroom and i dont want to spend loads, so have £300 put aside for that.

    I did however spend yesterday 60p on a stamp (comes out of work expenses) £2.90 in the shop on random bits, then a further £2.20 in sainsburys, so i am adding £5.10 of actual spends making my total is £7.09 so far with 3 days to go, but a meal on friday £52.91 left to spend.

  • going to update my sig, i spent £4.59 today but i am rounding it up to £5 because i threw the change into my change pot, so £12.09 spent, me and my friends are going to a greek restaurant on friday, i have looked at the menu and reckon it will cost £25-£30 pounds.

    I have £37.91 to spend for the week, i am going to zumba tomorrow, but that is already paid for and i have enough money on my oyster to get there and back, so hopefully no spends tomorrow, but will report back if i do, this thread has definately helped this week.
