12p is amazing! We booked with Ryainair too managed to get to France for £90 for 3 of us

I spent too much today
£30 on Harris Tweed
£2.49 on diet coke
£1.80 on sandwich
£1.45 on macaroons
bad bad bad! oh and £1.49 on double sided mascing (sp) tape cos i ran out and i need to get this stuff sorted for sat so didnt have time to order it from place i usually do. overall a cr**py day

Ive now locked my debit card away and taken the money out of my purse and put £2 coins in instead cos i dont like spending them so im thinking if they are in it rather than other money i wnt spend them if that makes sense?

Oh my, sorry guys, I've been so busy! Amazed you remembered I had a recital (I didn't realise people actually took any notice of what i post!) but its not happened yet. My first three recitals are a week tomorrow (on the 25th May) and I've been practising like mad for these. I have a "mini" one tomorrow where I'm performing a peer's composition for their exam. Slightly worried, but I have time to practise tomorrow and then that'll be over.
My main recital is on June 11th which is my own one where I perform for 25 minutes to two examiners.
I have an exam on wednesday (written) that I'm currently revising for, but am dreading because its the module I dont really understand that well!
Money wise, I've been so bad Having lunch on campus and I got my hair cut yesterday. its just so crazy at the moment! Not that that's an excuse or anything...

I'm going on 11th September till 13th to Dublin
and then 8th October till 10th for Eidhoven!!

Woohoo dead excited.
Was really excited about Turin but it came out as expensive! LOL so opted against that one.

Do a forum search for it, Ryanair. Martin also has a link to his flightchecked which also details flights for 0.01p and then you check the taxes/charges on ryanair...

I admit I did have help when I started off, Thanks Lynz

Got some food in today, but didnt spend loads. So quite happy
Other than that unnecessary spend free xx

All this talk of holidays - I want one !!! No seriously, I hope you all have a fantastic time, you all deserve it.

Have spent money - bad me, mostly on bottles of pepsi max (atleast it's BOGOF). I am beginning to wonder if I'm getting a little addicted to caffeine again, so maybe I need to stop drinking the stuff.

Total spend so far is £5.02, which actually isn't too bad really.

slowlyfading - good luck with your recital
brassiclint - I hope your head doesn't hurt too much

Right better think about that work thing, afterall it's what pays the bills and all that.

Day off for me today and it's much needed!

Have had a nice restful sleep although im sure a nap this afternoon will be in order.

Desperately need to tidy my flat up, its looking a bit lived in!
Lots of laundry to do, it seems never ending! Other than that I'm going to re-read my 1001 ways to save the planet book and write myself some post it notes.

As much as I have the best intentions when it comes to being a bit more green I dont really "do" it, if that makes sense. When I went to Kingston I did turn every single plug off, and again yesterday when I went to work I switched everything off. Uses just as much leccie when on standby etc!

But I'm still not doing everything I can! Plus after posting my SOA on my diary thread, someone highlighted that my budget for utilities per month might be a little low. I wasn't sure what they'd be, since I havent paid a bill yet... so now it the time to really reign in my usage!

Hoping for a total no spender today as I actually dont need to leave the house.....

Right now I've got the dilemma!!!

I'm currently watching on ebay a pair of running shoes.

No bids as yet, £4.99 with £4.95 postage.
Did a price run on Kelkoo (quidco!) and they currently retail at £29.99 (cheapest I could find inc delivery)

Now running is something I'd really like to get into but it is quite unnecessary but the only trainers Ive got are more fashion trainers so I cant really use them as the Queen Mum highlighted earlier, I'd do myself more harm than good!

Do I dont I?!?!?!

I dont want to spend the money and not use them....
I've currently got £25 sitting in quidco, £35 in current acc and £35 in my spending acc. One week to go till payday.........

ARGH!!

Purpleroses

Its for your health so its not entirely unnecessary (i hate spelling that word!) and you would do yourself a lot of harm if you didnt have th right trainers to go running! You'd save money doing it via ebay (remember to go threw quidco for that too!) but then if they didnt fit you may lose out if you cant send them back.
If you think they'd be good then i say go for it - im being the wee devil on peoples shoulders today

I got paid for the catering job i did on sat today not much but it paid for ma petrol for tomorrow. Had a busy week made 67 cards, 14 bracelets and now need to make more earring for the craft fair tomorrow. Ive managed to convince place where i used to work to sell my stuff which is sooo good as lots of tourists come there so hopefully that will go well.
Bought a snickers bar to celebrate so 37p today with no plans to go out tonight but then whats new?!
Plus finally got a lightspeed survery and just claimed my £10 from paypal took long enough!

Anyone have any exciting plans for the weekend?
