  • Sunday: NSD
    Monday : Found £1 in coat pocket and mum gave me £20.00 for some baking I did for her friend, but then spent £18.80 on a magazine, 2 pairs of jeans and a blouse and 3 malteser bunnies (only wanted the chocolate bunnies but the sale rail tempted me)
    Tuesday: £8.70 on parking at the hospital and £7.65 prescription.
    Wednesday: £3.30 parking at a different hospital. £4.15 days access to hospital Internet for poorly friend. Would have got flowers but I didn't think he would appreciate them.
    Friday: £40 gig ticket


    £82.60/£41.00
  • Well I didn't do that well, I went over by £25 eeeeeekk! not massively impressed but I did treat myself (smack hand) to a completely frivolous and the reason we all get in this mess, spray tan! As it's our dinner dance tomorrow night and it's lit ally the only night we go out in the entire year together, without kids, over night!! My parents are babysitting. So I really want to have a lovely time and know I look lovely, iykwim.

    Clearly I am attempting to justify this to myself! Also spent a fiver on hair dye for the same reason.

    So red for me (boo hiss)

    Next week £15 for me again please! Will be attempting to drink only free wine tomorrow night... hotel room already budgetted for :D

    Happy belated birthday Oops, I hope you had a great day!

    I absolutely love this thread. I spent my £8.00 at the supermarket last weekend and then I haven't had a spend day since. It's really making me think about saving as much as I can out of my £15, but although it's slowly building up in my PayPal account I wont want to use it!

    So my total for the week is £8.00 out of £15.00 and in the green! :D

    I'm going to stick at £15 for next week's non-budgeted spend as well.
  • I'm off out for my hubby's granny's 99th birthday but will set up the new thread this evening.

    Have a good day all
