    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?!?

    I did too - As I didn't have a spending budget last week (as didn't get paid till today) I was a completely NO SPEND.:eek: Cheated a bit by buying some stuff with shop (stretched budget a bit ;) , but please don't tell Queenie and have decided the shorts I bought I don't really need so they are going back:D

    Went to pub yesterday and spent £2.85 on pint of Magners, so as a NO SPEND week, was an overspend for me. Oh well, back on the wagon with my NEW £10 and a no spend day for me today :j :j

    Good luck for a new week and welcome Hols to the madhouse.

  • Hi, hope you're all ok and coping with this cr@ppy weather (think that might be our summer come and gone :eek: )

    I spent 4.02 today on first class stamps and packaging material for Ebay sales. I also spent 9.00 on Ebay postage but I don't count this in my spend as it's paid for by buyers and I deduct it from my Ebay profit on my spreadsheet accordingly.

    I also spent 10.00 topping my phone up, but this was budgeted for.

    Hope you've all had a good (and cheap!) day x

    Wish I can do as well this week on the challenge as I did last week - only spent 90p out of unneccessary budget - hopefully will do just as well this week. Spent £6 today but this was budgeted for so no unneccessary spends yet for me!

    Spent nothing tonight either. Short staffed so can't leave ward. Not that I would want to go down to the restaurant at night- anyone seen the grudge? Eeurgh getting the willies just thinking about it!
    Looking forward to the hair cut now. Been waiting 3 years. Only 8 hours to go.

    nothing spent by me on my first day on the challenge.
    Kaz Is your retaurant open all night, ours used to be open till 2am, now it shuts around 9pm and there's a small cafe open in main entrance where you can get a toastie till 2am!
    I won't even ask how you get the internet if you're still on the ward.

    No we have cr@ppy vending machines in the foyer of the restaurant. There's a coke machine in the front entrance. I'm on break on the ward. Theres only 3 of us so 1 has to stay on CCU and 2 on the ward = no break. We're not too busy though. so just willing the time away until I can go home to bed.I'll only get a couple of hours though.

    I've got my nights starting this week, however we can't get on the internet, you have to be an F grade or equivalent to be allowed on it, we get stuck with the hospital intranet! I rarely go for my breaks, I come back more tired. Have a good sleep tomorrow!
