    Ae, flyinggiraffe - not surprised you're feeling sorry for yourself. Bet it was painful on your pocket as well :(. But well done on no spending :j

    Lol thanks. I've had the money put by for 5 months (that's how long it took to get referred to a sedation specialist dentist on the NHS) so I didn't miss the £48.

    £9.65/£50 so far, tomorrow will be the big test as I'm having brekkie, lunch and tea out with different friends before the gig!

    Hi all,

    Well all was going well till yesterday. Only spent £5 on Chocolate for the school and hoped that would be it, but then our tank in the loft broke, so we had to buy a new arm, new ballc0ck then husband went up there to do it himself and put the whole house out of running water and heat for a day!

    By the time he was down from the loft we ended up with Takeaway! Same as today, once the plumber had gone :/ Big expensive past 2 days.

    Not 100% where i stand on my budget tbh, definatly red. If i put is around £80/£60 then i think im being generous but at least its a figure!

    So my total is

    £80/£60 :(

    Next week im going to try and pledge only £40 :/ May be hard going but needs must!

    I don't think I can have a NSD if I leave the house!!

    I struggle to have NSDs when I'm in the house - on-line shopping [STRIKE]is[/STRIKE] was my downfall!

    No spending for me today - long day at work so not much chance to spend...will report back with final tally tomorrow :T

    Another NSD today :j

    Finished the week on £95.28 / £105

    We didn't go and collect the pram due to the weather. We are out tomorrow morning so thought it made more sense to combine several shop trips into one trip out.

    Have set up the new thread it's here

    Oo please can I join? I love the idea of this. I've just started keeping a budget diary as I've a few things I want to clear as soon as possible.

    Assuming I'm okay to join I shall pledge the following for w/c 24th March:-

    £30.00

    Only things I need to buy this week are vegetables for my rabbits (around £5), £20 petrol which I've budgeted in weekly and £5 for other things I may need but might not be aware of at this moment in time.
