What have/will you spend today - 30/04

Options
Hi everyone :hello:

Don't see this thread anywhere today so hopefully nobody minds me making a start on it.

This is a thread to keep track of daily spends, particularly useful if you're taking part in LJ/Moozie's Sunday to Friday budget challenge.

Feel free to join even if your not and let us know what you have / plan to spend today.

It's final revision day for me today before last uni exam ever :eek:, so I'm spending it indoors and studying, making it a NSD for me.

Enjoy your Monday everyone.

Proud to be dealing with my debts

This week's budget = £65.00 : current spend = £66.46

    Hi everyone!

    After our 'splurging our bank charges rebate before the cheque had cleared' weekend binge where we (at last) purchased a new bed (hurrah!) today has been quite calm...

    Spent £4.90 on 10 x energy saving lightbulbs for OH's parents
    and £10.09 in Superdrug on 3 for 2 toothpaste / listerine, deoderant, paracetamol and replacement water bottles for work, plus some new chili snackajacks :)

    No intentions of spending anything else this week except from food budget x

    THESE Crocs :rotfl: - defo not the Steve Irwin type (RIP)

    Depressed though now :mad: everything comes at once :mad: my car air-con has broken down and needs investigating by a 'specialist' firm, my wheel bearings on its way out (can wait a while), my fan belt needs changing (darling boyf can do that!) and my clutch was burning yesterday and has been slipping for weeks (but boyf doesn't have time for that one!).

    Also was waiting as long as poss to get my hair done, but it's looking sooner rather than later now (esp if I want to keep said boyf!). Have also put of dentist work as broken tooth wasn't hurting - now it's starting to get sensitive.

    So all in all I have to find IRO £650 :eek:

    :mad: :(:( depressed now. :(:(:(

    Oh and my rear bumper needs spraying so add another £100 unless I can find it cheaper - I've put it off for a year already.

    All my spare money is saving for when I'm out of work in 3 weeks and my holiday in France in July :(:(

    :hello: Hi girls and boys.

    Well this week is gonna be a tough one as the gardening work has started. A couple of days late as the fence posts were put down for the wrong date for delivery.
    Today i have spent
    £137.60 on gravel boards and fence posts Budgeted for. Just delivered now.
    £7.64 Milk, batteries and a couple of jars of baby food from netto
    £10.00 cash back for my purse.


    I went to the dentist and his whitening procedure is £595, but he said he will do both me and my partner for that.

    In my head i have spent 1k.:rotfl:

    I am doing my living room, the sofa has come down from £800 to £650, then i have seen entertainment unit and new desk and pedastal. I have to wait and see what is left from the garden budget first though. It also needs fully decorating. I may as well as i have got to replace the carpet as i burnt it with the iron. I am seriously considering getting my dad to order sofa on his argos card as i really need a sofa.
    You can touch the dust but please don't write in it !

    Would you like to speak to the man in charge, or the woman who knows whats happening?
