    Fed up. Went to get my eyes tested today and my eyesight has got worse. my prescription is now -10.75 in both eyes and I need new specs, which will cost £362. I paid half today, and will not be able to collect them until after payday, because I can't pay the balance til then :(

  • £1.39 - Boots facewash
    £2.99 - Boots hair dye
    99p - mug tree
    69p - Wilko antiseptic cream
    2 x 99p - Towelling hair turbans
    1.65 - Thorntons caramels

    £9.69

    I had set myself a £10 limit today so I did ok. The cheap Boots hair dye was actually way better than the more expensive, Feria ones I've been using for the last 3 years. I actually have the hair colour stated on the packet (caramel blonde), for a change!

    On Monday I have to spend £20 on a rail fair back to London (am at my folks for the weekend) and £15 on a 7-day travelcard.

    On Tuesday I have to purchase a £15 postal order to cover the cost of my medical check for uni. :(

    That'll leave me with about £140 until payday (May 23rd). Do-able, but unpleasant.
    But they're my biggest expenses until payday, thankfully!

    Went to Tescos and Morrisons, but used quite a lot of vouchers, so spent about £17 in total (including some wine and beer!!!) Did a mystery shop as well, but not counting that, as it will be reimbursed.
