Hello,

My first check in for June!

Budgets I'm setting at £80 (£20 deducted), Petrol at £100.

Will work out other budgets and planned spends for the month later as not had a chance, my weekend was hectic but amazing.

Will see if I can fit in a few SFD's this week, going my make myself eat up the contents of the fridge and freezer before I go foot in the supermarket.

Hola chicks :hello:

Well a nice cheap weekend if you don't count the petrol spends (which were technically on Friday, but there wasn't any of may's money left so it came out of the new pay packet, therefore it counts in my petrol budget... (and breathe)). £2 spends on Mr L's toll money as he had no change, but he'll pay for parking or similar next weekend most likely (he better!).

So I am on:

£44/£180 petrol
£0/£100 food
£2/£50 spends
£188.01/£185 pay to CC
1/20 SFDs

Need more petrol today, think I might have underestimated the budget a bit... :eek:

Also need a couple of food bits, so no SFD in the offing today. On the list is:

bread
haricot/butter beans
lettuce/salad
cotton wool pads (not food :rotfl:, spends budget)

Have meal planned up to Friday lunch, after which I'm off to Mr L's for the weekend, we have codes for a free cinema ticket each and I'm doing a 5K Race for Life on Sunday, which will be my entertainment!

I hope you enjoyed your well-earned day off NSK.

Ok been thinking about this...paid a lump off the CC today..which I was going to do end of May but didn't...minimum on DD takes place today so sent a lump..now is this SFD or not ?..as I will be doing the same next month 1st July from the savings this month..(wages in on the 1st every month).
Guidance on that one please as I will go and get some shopping tonight if not, so I can keep a day in obeyance..

Chickens..let them out to play..collected eggs..4 would have been 5 but one of the hens is a egg eater for some reason so a smashed one..washed them in the water tank dropped one and cracked it..!!!!!!..so 3 good un's one left.
Been a stunning day at the allotment big seeds in, beetroot etc..wind blowing so will have to wait till tomorrow for the little seeds lettuce etc...keeping me out of temptation over there !

Evening!

Well today ended up having a little spend. We do coffee at work together and it was my turn to buy (out of my spends fund), so decided as I'd broke this SFD I would do my shopping today instead of Wednesday... So all stocked up on fruit, veg and milk and in under budget for the week on my grocery spends (by 43p!).

So - as it stands, still on SFD number 2.

Withdrew all of my money for the month and am in the process of enveloping it all.

Now for a nice restful evening with a large mug of coffee and a good book (and probably 2 cats attempting to walk all over it as I read lol). Happy days

Evening everyone,

Hope everyone has been able to enjoy the sunshine today. I didn't have a SFD as playgroup was on so £1.50 from entertainment budget spent. Also bought 2 stamps to send cards to my Grandma and a card as well. We walked into town but I didn't spend anything. I almost bought a pair of shorts for DS at a CS but wasn't sure if they would fit him so put them back. :j

Should be a low spend day tomorrow as have craft club but other than that there will be no spends.

Hi Guys!

Happy (near end of Monday!) Hope you have all had a good day!

SFD Number 3 (I think), I found a Tesco voucher from last year and used this to purchase 3 x wooden hangers. I am decoupaging them for a gift (I love making things). Is using a voucher (that was not accounted for) classed as a spend?

Good Day one and all.. lots of posts for me to catch up on..(did someone mention a kitten???..)..so I shall post and then back track and read..

Spend day for moi... and a day off work! But seriously where has the time gone! I had a little lie in though, tidied up my room, put some washing on..(can someone come over and hang it all up for me...?) and did my first food shop of the month..

I totalled £14.58.. however my peppers shoulda been 2 for £1.. not 80p each...:mad:...however small this annoys me something chronic...I am going to make a complaint and hope fora voucher...:)

I now have £35.42 left for the rest of the month...hmmmm should be interesting. I have enough to make snacks to freeze.. my rice and lentils will last me at least 10-12 days... and I just need to make my milk go far as I do like a LOT of tea... (watered down already...:rotfl:)..

Food has taken over my life....:rotfl: However I was VERY naughty today...my beauty buys were put on the CC ( total £10. 61) and Holland and Barrett at £15...however with petrol expences coming back to the tune of £45 in the middle of the month this is covered...(Whoopsies)...although it will be ALL paid by the end of the month..

Other than that I am fighting the moggy for the sofa...dropped my popcorn all over the floor (saved under the 5 second rule) and am planning an early night...

SFD's for the rest of the week I hope...

Onwards and Upwards!!!
