Weekly Spend Challenge W/C 11th August 2013

Sad face. My exhaust fell off on my way to a meeting so had to pay out £94.40 to have it replaced. Really not in the budget this month as I had used my emergency fund to pay for an exam. Next month I will have my savings started again, so will be ok, but I have a lot of month left before payday.

I then bought a kitkat as I was feeling rubbish 59p, although its on my desk, ready for post fat club tomorrow.

Tuesday: £94.99

Another two NSD's yesterday and today...
BUT - I'm on nights, so spent all day yesterday working the allotment and most of today sleeping so not such an achievement really!!

However, and have got dinner leftovers to take in for a snack if I get the munchies later!
Will have to put diesel in the car tomorrow and pay for the Bridge as we're off to Wales to see my parents!!

Hope everyone is well xxx
