Welcome to all the newbies. :wave:

Welcome back to everyone else. :wave:

I stayed under budget last week, by £12.52 which is slightly short of the £15 I wanted to put to one side for the cinema visit that didn't happen. Close enough tho.

Trying to work out my budget for this week but finding it difficult due to hubby being around. And I know I'll probably be red but I can deal with it.

Will set £120 -
£50 petrol
£50 groceries
£20 misc

I'm on leave for the next 8 days so could work in my favour or not.

I've got my MOT and service on Tuesday. :eek::eek: I think it'll be around £750 which is worrying but I have money saved so not including it in this budget. My plan is to have the car for another year at least then be looking to get a new one. I don't think it will be overly used this year with my maternity so hoping it'll get me through the next year or two with costing too much more.

Sorry for the epic post.

Morning everyone!

Weekend was very good in Manchester. Did do a bit of shopping while up there (although did try and take advantage of the sales where possible and have the money set aside to pay CC bill off when it comes in )

Sun - NSD

Have a good day everyone xxx

Hi Everyone,

First time ever joining one of these threads, I've made a pledge to myself to take control of my money so this is part of it.

I'm late joining for the week so the amount is for the rest of the week.

£7.80 - Train fare
£8 - Parking at work
£10 - Cinema (promised I'd accompany my cousin to see The Hobbit)

Total: £27.80

Thanks
