good morning darling dfw's!!! well despite being rudely woken up at 7am by the sun sneaking past my black out blind ANd curtains :eek: it's a cloudy, cold looking day outside, though mum assures me it's supposed to improve. too late I'm off to work for 12 with wonder boy again....please pray I don't kill him and end up in jail the same time as I end up on the debt free roll of honour!:T (<---wish I could make his hands stay still hehe)

well my nsd run (total of one!) is at an end, I need to pick up yummy treats for the afternoon (my turn) and I need to go food shopping, am eating my last meal out of the freezer for break at work and have pretty bare cupboards, but it does mean i succeeded in not food shopping this week :j

hope you guys have a fabulous start to the bank holiday weekend, but keep it low xxx

    Morning all,

    Im going to my my weekend job today so that will keep my from spending money on toot! I am spending a ''budgeted'' £1.25 in the Staff Canteen today as they always seem to do a nice meal On a Saturday and I am ravenous when I get home at 11pm tonight otherwise.

    Apart from that I will not spend a penny as I am not going to take any cash at all with me. I have my Oyster card for travel and £1.25 already on the Canteen card :)

    Aftternoon all

    Just nipped into town on the bus £2.80 (return journey) then £11.25 in lush on a little birthday present for a friend and something little for me, then £2 on card and wrapping paper in cheap shop. A further £2.50 in Savers on some bathroom mould and mildew cleaner - 1 or me and 1 for mum, which is like nothing I have used before... totally magic!

    So what does that make... £18.55 but that's ok cos it was all budgetted for...

    :heartpuls CG :heartpuls
    Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.

    Are you all addicted on irn bru in Glasgow? :rolleyes:
    Mind you, I quite enjoy the odd glass myself, though. :beer:

    Hi LJ - I had to spend £79.95 today, on new glasses, at TESCO Opticians. :eek:
    I normally go to Boots, but TESCO were offering FREE Eye Tests and BOGOF on glasses in their £79.95 range.
    Perhaps I'll stop bumping into things now.:beer:

    Hi everyone!

    £2.30 in the pub this afternoon, other than that no other spends planned.

    Haven't been on for a while to record my spends so I'll do some calculations and update my sig on the week's spends. Hopefully I'll be within budget again, but I doubt it:rolleyes:

    I've really blown the budget this week. Today I went for lunch with a friend I haven't seen in ages (£4), bought 2 DVDs on sale in Woolies (£6), did a top up food shop (£11) and bought a charity raffle ticket (£1)

    Total spend today = £22

    I'm not going anywhere else today, so that's it for this week.

    I've been bad today :( called in at Tesco for some pillow cases (£1.97 each, needed four), and 'accidentally' spent £35 on a tower fan thingy for the kids bedroom and some other stuff, that shockingly, I can't even remember! (They're in a bag upstairs....)

    Will try harder tomorrow!
