So even tho I spent over my £5 budget I earned back some money from selling an item on eBay bringing my total left for the week at £2.73...
I dont think thats gonna buy 5 easter presents.
Also re: the whole thing with payments not showing up on your account until later- I totally hate that! I normally go to a cash point and get cash out before going back to buy an item.
Super feel good points for this:
1. extra exercise
2. time thinking if I actually need an item
3. handing over 'real' money makes it seem more real
4. it shows up on your account straight away.

Morning all
Sorry i have been Awol! Been manic busy down the school with all the easter bits we have to do by lunch time today.
I am not sure bit by bit of what i have spent my money on this week as i have been spending my own plus schools money for bits for disco, easter hunt. But i do know i am still within my £40 target, but only have a few pennies left of it.
I will count it all later and see where i stand. Can chill after today
But then have my 3 babies at home for 19 days
So maybe not that much chilling can be done

Hi!
Was doing so well until I spent £9.68 on 2 books I had pre-ordered and completely forgot about! DOH!
Sun ~ NSD
Mon ~ NSD
Tues ~ £9.68
Wed ~ NSD
Thu ~ NSD
Fri ~ NSD
Sat ~ I'm hoping for a NSD.
I'm working from 6pm Sat to 7am Sunday morning so am staying in till I have to leave for work. Don't know if I'll be able to update Sat or Sunday (will probably be asleep lol) so can I please pledge £10.00 again for next week and declare £9.68 for this week. If it changes at all I'll update it, if that's ok. Am hoping it doesn't lol!
Thanks so much ETO
Have a great easter everyone!
Cheers
Casper
