Well I haven't taken my £10 out if the bank yet, but my friend owed me some money towards the spa day, which was amazing. Wish I could go weekly. so have been using a bit of that this week. So will have to work out my actual spends in misc. items later.

Well done to everyone who is under budget so far.

1st spends for me:

Fuel: £29 / £40 - incl filling fuel can:)
Groceries: £27.81 / £40 * - decided not to use the £4 off £40 spend as really don't need that much. Hoping this should see me through to the weekend!:)
Trolley: £0 / £25 - DM not been to Ar*gos yet!
Misc: £2.98 / £7 - a couple of things just seemed to jump into my basket again:rotfl: (those bloomin' cookies;) and some sweeties!:o) - came to £2.58 but had 2 x 20ps in the change so have added them as a spend & they've gone in the jar!:)

So ... £59.79 / £112

* Also stocked up on some store cupboard items (olive oil, new spices, peppermills etc which will last most of next year!:)) which were on good offers - haven't incl as part of WS but .....

Feels like I'm cheating a bit! So it's noted down: [STRIKE]£28.35 [/STRIKE] £26.00 - forgot there was some cat food on there (they have their own budget)

So - not going out today so declaring early!

Fuel: £29 / £40
Groceries: £27.81 + £26 (store cupboard) = £53.81 / £40
Trolley: £0 / £25 - carrying this forward to next week
Misc: £2.98 / £7

Added in the extra £26 store cupboard items to the grocery total - felt too much like cheating if I didn't . So overall:

£85.79 / [STRIKE]£112[/STRIKE] £87 (after trolley costs removed)

Have managed to add £4 to the Bus Fund money from not spending all my Misc / Treat money :T

Payday today so will be working on budgets shortly & will decide on figures for next week and report back later!

Have a great Friday everyone
