    Lol, I did try, and I can usually do colour, but today, it was beyond me :D:D

    I have been and bought lunch for this week so my total so far is £13.71/£50.00

    I always type on here from my tablet and it is a faff to change text colour, you've got to highlight then really quickly click on the little arrow next to the A and hope it lets you select the colour you want whilst the text is still highlighted.

    Today I spent £14.80 at the zoo, including my entry and a chomp bar! Hehe.

    £14.80/£75.00

    Body Pump on Wednesday,
    Pub quiz on Thursday but we won last week so we've got £30 to buy the first round!
    Lunch with friend on Friday.

    Have a good week everyone & good luck with your budgets!

    Oh dear... Between yesterday and today I have spent £34.62. :mad: not good. Haven't really got anything to show for it either. So £15 for the rest of the week. And out for lunch tomorrow.

    Not looking good for a green week especially as we have planned a day out on weds too. And as hubby paid for our impromptu lunch today I'll be paying for weds. :eek:

    ETA - it's def worse having hubby around as I def have more impromptu spends when he's here, that said he's back at work in two weeks after having 8 weeks off and I'm dreading it. :(

  • Good evening,

    I feel like death warmed up, so am considering going to bed very soon.
    Sunday - NSD
    Monday - £2.82 on lunch at work - went to body attack too (included in gym membership)
    Tuesday - £2.72 at the co-op

    Am worried about an after work event on Thurs eve - not sure whether to take money with me as I am confident the drinks won't be free

    here's to the rest of the week.

    Evening all

    Well another £8.98 spent today but was planned. And actually I thought I would spend more than that. I had the set lunch meal, £5.99 for main, dessert and drink. Although the menu said it was proportioned for lunch. What I didn't expect was only 4 pieces of scampi. :mad: so I was thankful I'd ordered a starter too.

    So total of £43.60 / £50 so far.
