    Morning all, I have messed up big time lol Completly forgot i have to pay £26 out today for my sons 8 weeks of football training! Oh well definatly going to end up over budget, thats for sure!

    Hope you have a good day all :)
  • Well I'm red this week... I was at £97.99 but spent £13.55 today. Oooops. :mad: So £111.54 / £100

    Went for midwife appt today and my iron levels are a little low so topped up on iron rich foods. But all's good otherwise.

    Just booked a 4D scan for tomorrow! :D oooops more spends.

    Flyinggiraffe - well done on all the NSD's

    MissE001 - I guess if you need shoes it's not all bad, not like you spent lots on goodies and treats.

    Hope everyone is well.

    We'll be red together Beth :D

    ETO I hope you enjoy your 4D scan. I loved mine with my son. Couldn't afford one when the girls were babies as they were new out. But the one with my son was just fantastic :) I still watch the film now and again and the poor kid is 5 already lol.
  • Everyone sounds like they've had a good week. Even those who have gone over budget it looks like it was for good reason :)



    Today I spent a pound as my boss put it "to wear your own clothes to work for Red Nose Day" lol. He meant casual wear, obvs.

    So I have spent £11 this week, but I always go mad on Saturdays!
