    I spent money today, but not on DMs (though I have wanted tarten DMs for years, but that's beside the point).

    I used the last of the bread for breakfast, so didn't have any to make sandwiches ! If there was anything I learnt from the lent challenge is you need planning. So anyway I bought a bread roll (30p). Then tonight I went to Tesco, to get bread and bread rolls and milk, so no excuse for not taking lunch to work tomorrow.

    Plus I was bad and I got 8 cream eggs for 64p, that's my chocolate fix for the rest of the week sorted.

    So that takes my total so far to £3.41 I've taken £5 out of my purse at put it in my desk drawer at home, that's for the weekend, that way I can't spend more than I have.

    £30 a night b&b.

    Beach during the day and whatever else,

    then bars/restaurants at night...whatever i like etc

    Someone driving out there, so food money needed basically

    £30 a night !!!! Go camping it's a lot cheaper, or even self catering. I hate B&B's cos I always end up spending lots of money on eating out.

    lol

    Does ever wonder about the lengths we have to go through to control ourselves?!

    Like me and my £2 coins withdrawn on a tuesday!
    Shocking and almost a little bit sad (for me anyway!) that I have got no basic self control, I have to trick myself almost lol

    I told people at work about them today and they were all shocked that I didn't get them, but I have more pairs of boots than I need, as it's not just DMs that I have. So I really don't need any more. Not unless I sell the boots that I already have.
