    Quick update to say £5 spent in post office (posting fleabay sales :D + stamp for birthday card). Also £1 on doughnuts for colleagues and me at work - this is why I avoid going out at lunchtime!

    Spends planned tomorrow for work travel - will report damage later in the week

    Morning all :)

    I am spent up for today. Literally spent my last pennies on a loaf of bread, TV mag and water! Have no more money till Thursday lol I could use the joint account and spend husbands wages. But trying to hold off as i genuinely don't need to spend. Just hate having limited funds. Luckily i get the rest of my £60 budget on Thursday. But obviously i will minus what i have already spent.

    I really want to save a months money in advance, so im not always skimming so close to the skint line lol.

    Sun - £5.89 random spends!
    Mon - £5 birthday card.
    Tues - £1.45 Tesco.

    Total up to now - £12.34/£60

  • Hi everyone!

    Just to let you know I haven't vanished, had two friends in crisis since Wednesday, (one involving a much loved pet) ~ both a long story ~ so haven't been able to post anything as I had completely forgotten that the entire weekend had come and gone and somehow it's already Tuesday! Will catch up and update tomorrow night. I'm not really sure what to do with a pledge for this week as it seems pretty pointless now it's already started. Will have a think tomorrow and hopefully post a full update tomorrow. Have managed to write down all my spends though so at least I have a record of it all.

    Have a great week everyone! Be back tomorrow night! Right now I need some sleep, am emotionally and physically shattered!

    Night
