To be honest the only voucher I have previously used were Internet shopping ones and this month my sister gave me one.

Hot uk deals have a voucher page ... Mainly Internet xx.

If you find out any other ways let me know. We could be super coupeners!!

You're not alone so I prefer an 'addiction' to illness! I must be getting bad as hubby commented last night on how much I am on these forums

Well it's been quite a good day.

I did purchase an extravagant birthday present for my BIL who will soon be 65. I agreed to go halves on the present well before my lbm so felt compelled to stick with my promise. So £40 gone on half a bottle of Irish whiskey.

I have been in York all day ( for work), cost was travel and lunch, can claim them both back (Mondays priority). Once I got home I've done a tesco shop for delivery on Monday evening. Will have a few more days of mish mash eating. It has covered extra shopping for my sisters visit and still came in under £30, including delivery.

Monies all transferred into correct accounts, standing orders all sorted and everything in its place for next month.

Today's payments are £20 to emergency spending and £2.35 to loan account.

That's a good shop for the week including delivery well done! Special birthdays are different aren't they? Especially as you had already committed x

Still have lots if stuff in the freezer so hoping that the stuff I have brought will be enough.

It's amazing how you can make things stretch if you don't want to spend xx

Well £40 to the store card this morning. It's only £10 more than my original payments and as I would previously have had a similar next payment potentially I have another £20 to add to the pot. I want to obtain my store card statement (due end of next week) and then hopefully I might be able to squeeze enough out of my budget to pay it off totally.

However I know from Tuesday onwards for a week by budget is going to be stretched. I think I'm going to tell my sister that I'm being careful money wise and can we therefore do cheap and cheerful on some occasions as I really don't want to blow the budget or put stuff on a credit card. I'm not at the stage of telling her the true full facts but happy to tell her I have some debt and want to clear it as soon as possible.

Got the other half of the whiskey money this morning so £40 in my purse. I don't have an issue with it really being in my purse as my spending diary keeps me firmly focused.

Purchased a few bits and bobs today but only about £5 spent.

Going to total everything up again and update spreadsheets xx

Yayy! More spreadsheet fun
