Total so far

= £14.26 / £30

Friend cancelled the get together today so stayed in all day and blitzed the house instead. However I do have an unplanned lunch tomorrow, so will go over my budget, which is a bit of a pain as I'm trying my hardest not to overspend too early in the month. I just have to decide whether to have one or two courses. I should have one but my appetite is huge, I'll perhaps get something in to come back to instead.

Ok so I spent £0.99 today on mango chutney but that's all and it was to go on "a girl called jacks" carrot and bean burgers which are 9p each so that's ok right?

Had to buy some shopping today and flowers for my friend who I'm visiting tomorrow....

Whooo it's been a couple of looong days, haven't had the chance to be on here. So, what's been up?

Tues -- £4.99 lunch but I did go to Aldi instead of Co-Op and I spent £10.83 for the week's groceries! My new way to shop, methinks!
Wed -- £5 for breakfast and lunch (in work for 7am, ugh... must be more organised!). Decided on a less-complicated hairstyle and so paid £40 for hairdresser, half projected budget.
Thurs -- I don't know. If I don't rent the van today, then I'll be NSD.
Edited to say: no, I did spend money after all. £2.26 on washing up liquid and a loaf of bread.

So far, not so bad.

Morning all
I'm doing ok so far. My hairdressers was more expensive than I thought (I think she must have been promoted!) so I spent £29.50 on that yesterday. I'm going for an NSD today, but I am going out tomorrow evening and we're going for food before the theatre (although theatre was paid for months ago), so hoping I can stick within budget this week. So far so good though!
