    I spent £6.14 at Tesco earlier; some soup for lunch, some bread to have with it plus bread for the freezer at work, some peanut M&Ms and drinks for the cinema which my OH paid for.

    Sunday - £6.14

    I am hoping for NSDs most of the week, but I will need to go to Tesco again at some point. Need to buy the chocolate to make OH's easter egg and given I didn't buy groceries for the horse today, he'll probably need something as well.

    Ok, i was doing so well last week - but slipped into the red right at the end!

    Friday - someone was leaving work, went out for lunch £10, then drinks after work got a bit messy! lol. There were lots of free drinks on offer so I only spent £15, then £7 on some dodgy food place after. Then went out for a fry up the next morning £12.18 to help cure the hangover!!

    So final total for last week was:
    £46.26/£30.00 :eek:

    Plan:

    Sunday - NSD

    Monday - NSD
    Tuesday - free cinema tickets so will need snacks £5
    Wednesday - College £1 for drink
    Thursday - Payday lunch £10, College £1 for drink
    Friday - NSD
    Saturday - Dentist £17.50

    So going for £35 this week!
  • Hi everyone

    NSD for me today! :D

    Weather is so horrid I didn't leave the house lol and resisted the temptation to spend any money online.

    Have a good evening everyone!

    Cheers

  • Evening everyone

    I have updated your budget shinner.

    Sun - £16.26
    Mon - £1.20 car parking, £32.22 petrol :eek:

    £49.68 / £40

    Have cancelled tea for tomorrow as I just cannot afford it, which is unlike me as I would normally take money from a little I have saved, but conscious ill need all extra pennies for maternity leave.

    I am also trying to get to payday with a little saved, so far £70 has been moved to a separate account. :D
    SPC 14 Target £200 /
