The Unneccesary Challenge

ShirleyPark_2

New week and a brand spanking new £10. If I dare to say I have spent any of it on cakes / biscuits / chocolate / sweets / icecream then give me a swift telling off. I am determined to start eating heathily.

Good luck everyone

New week and new £10 but have already spent 85p on muffin for breakfast(had to be in early today to get stuff finished so no time for breakfast) bad move I think.

I did go miles over budget last week but at least after 1 weeks spending diary i have a very good idea of where my money is draining away.......

welcome all newcomers ...

phew ... just got through reading 3 PAGES since friday night!!! you lot are CHATTERBOXES!!

had a completely no spend weekend so feeling good ... only one week to go until payday as well and still got quite a bit of money in the bank.

completely off track but i'm sitting here waiting for the kettle to boil so i can have a wash!! yes, you read that right!! we've got no hot water at the moment ... our 3 year old boiler is playing up and decides when it wants to give us hot water. despite the fact that my dad is a central heating installer (yes, he installed our system) and we've had an engineer round already they can't find a fault because whenever they come round THE BLOODY THING DECIDES TO WORK!!!

I don't do cold showers so have to fill the sink up with water from kettle .... i'm gonna feel lovely and fresh today aren't i!!

I better get going ... wanna stop at the cash point en route and get my weekly tenner out ...

keep up the good work everyone x

Morning all!

I'm pretty happy this morning as I have managed to sleep for about 10 hours. Doesnt happen often but ooooooooooooooh I feel refreshed.

Lucky ol me gets new start times for work starting this week so I've got time to swoop in and catch up on last nights gossip and the tales of woe.... i.e biscuits and boilers...

Me and my hair are off to get read for work then. I'm not taking out my tenner today (or possibly tomorrow) as for some reason I was very enthusiastic about overpayments this month and I appear to have left myself a little short for this week lol oh well, maybe it'll teach me something.

Lunch MUST be made!

You're not on your own, and apart from us, who admit it, I wonder if there might be some who won't admit it?!?

Can I join in too please?

I need to reign in my spending to pay off my Lloyds card and to save towards a holiday.

I had a bad weekend and spent about twenty pounds going out with friends to a petting zoo and I don't even have kids!

Hey all
Had a productive day! black house is currently being painted, managed to convince the art club that they'd do a great job painting it so they're doing it! one less job for me! sorted the artefacts to go in it, ordered fake chickens and a cockrel to go outside it. and organised the archive meeting for tonight phew.
Also managed to walk the dog for an hour on the beach and now off to make lunch. cyas x
