    Sorry all!

    I did realise that it probably wasn't going to endear me to too many people, posting about how i have to eat more chocolate.

    Unnecessary spend challenge for me is that I also get to see what I can get done for free!

    Tomorrow I am getting my hair cut........ for free!
    A new trade customer for my shop is from a salon down the road from my shop and we got to chatting. And I commented on how hair cuts seems to be so expensive and I normally wish I'd never bothered.

    So she told me to come to her salon, she'd do my hair for free if I didnt like it, it didnt cost me a penny, and if I did then I'd go back there next time and be happy to pay.
    Plus she spent £100+ on tea and coffee for her salon :)

    So it was win/win for me!!!
    YAY!

    I'm in too, after my blip last month. OH and I have decided that when we move in together we will get £100 a month each for unnecessary spending. I want to prove it's possible to do it for less than that.

    Well, I spent 1p of my £10.21! I put it in with the rest of my cash when I went to pay it in to the post office. I repaid £5.22 of our dipped into savings.
    I had to pay £5.30 for special delivery to insure my tesco deals vouchers when I posted them off but that will come from the shopping budget. I also have a little problem with my shopping budget in that I have 2 online deliveries coming tomorrow which will take me about £3 over my months budget but I have £75 on gift cards for the shopping which I can't use for online shops. This will have to come off next months cash withdrawal budget and the next months on and on until they are clear. It's just money shuffling but it's annoying because I want to shop online to get the extra points. I will just do top up fruit and veg shops instore but I do have a till spit to use so need to go in. Also DD needs at least 2 maybe 3 dresses for summer. Might try to persuade her to have some shorts (doesn't like trousers- apparently girls only wear skirts/ dresses and pink/ purple!). I'll just have to see what appears in the charity shops.

    So £10.20 left.
