Got my money back that BF owes me, so thats £50 to help out the spreadsheet...

Must remember to pay that back in tomorrow and keep an eye on my DD/SO as for some reason transfer to my spending acc is taking longer and longer each month which means I then have to spend from my wages acc. Although I have promised myself, anything I spent out of the wages acct, I'm going pay back again from spending acct.

Phew!!! Money juggling makes my brain hurt!

Thank u 4 my welcome message and glad to hear you will all be sticking 2 this challenge- I look forward to hearing how you get on this week.
I have had a no spend day 2day but that is probably because i didnt leave the house except to buy shopping from Tesco - i stuck 2 my budget and even bought some food for this wks lunches and some fruit for snacks so hopefully its will save me both £££ and lbs

My BF has been quite supportive, he said he might try and join in with the challenge - I cant see that lasting though He said he only spent £2 2day as everyone was standing in the street outside the pub as it was full so both him and his mate got a couple of beers from the off license instead, saving him £3.50 a pint - good hey

I am a bit worried about 2morrow as it will be my first day out on a budget -lots of temptations like the canteen and sweetshops etc but I will and must stay strong .

Hey guys,

I had a pretty good weekend, went out on Friday night and had budgeted £15 but only spent £5! don't know how I managed that because I still managed to get quite drunk and feel horrendous the next day! Then spent £10 on paint, but that was also budgeted so no unnecessary spending! Will hopefully also be a NSD today as I have brought lunch in. Have to drive to the post office later and really don't want to spend any money on parking so hope I can find a free parking space on the road.

Think Im going to have a funny week.
Mind you think I need to seperate the hen night spending as it can come out of the wedding budget.
So should be ok this week I hope.

Good afternoon everyone! :j
Well, I've been to ASDA this morning and did my shopping. Only spent £11.90 for the week so am pretty pleased. Also ate in the cafe there, so that's £2.90 of my budget gone for this week I'm sat writing my essay, got 5467 words so not long left to go! :j I'll be in such a better mood once its printed off and sorted. Got to sort out all my references, and check books and things. But it'll be worth it. Got a mark back today for one of my earlier assignment and I got a FIRST! :j so I'm thrilled with that.
Bit annoyed though. I was in the shower this morning, and knocked my conditioner off the shelf. The lid's all cracked and there's a big crack down the side of the bottle, so its slowly leaking away I've tried to prop it up so its upside down and away from the crack, but still. Its a big bottle as well, so I'm annoyed with myself for that. I'll have to buy some more on wednesday or thursday I think.
Am off out for a 21st meal tonight, but this is (of course!) budgeted for I'm looking forward to it, but we're going to an Italian and I always seem to eat loads. Will try not to though!
Hope everyone else is having a good day, sorry about the essay of a post! LOL
