Lilian - I'm glad you said that, as it proves I'm not losing my marbles, lol! I typed my post, it uploaded, I SAW IT, with my own eyes, then next time I looked, all but 2 lines or so had completely vanished! Weird or what?!

Oh, one more quick thing......I filed all the cheap birthday cards I bought last week into my birthday book, meaning that I got a good look at them again. They were from Card Factory, a shop I hadn't been in before, & were priced at 10 for £1. There was a good choice, I've picked designs that are suitable for male & female friends & family, plus children. Just flagging the offer up in case anyone else could do with a stash of uber cheap cards.

I will be stocking up on cards for birthdays and babys due for the next 6 months! Will definitely try Card factory. i tend to get the 29p ones in home bargains

Hi all,

After totting up my personal spends this month, and with the looming spectre of a pay cut and increased living costs coming my way, I need to get back to the small things!

So, today I have...
Driven economically to work-have £34 left in my petrol fund, half a tank, and another 6 40 mile round trips to work before payday, fingers crossed!
Breakfast and snacks from stores, and hot drinks using up old tea bags.
Bought lunch though total spend £4
Posted test items
Update spreadsheet with weekend spends
Try and teach myself crochet again to stop me shopping online!
Write list of house stuff I need to buy before my move
Early night!

Hope you've all had lovely Mondays!

Foxgloves/Happytails - those Card Factory 10/£1 cards are great, I stock up often! Ideal to keep in my work drawer for when I forget, saves me spending £2+ in the shop!

First day back at school after 6 1/2 week holiday. Had hoped for another NSD but just spent £4.80 on a (budget) takeaway to cheer myself up.
Have taken the £4.80 from my entertainment budget to make it more MSE but sort of kicking myself despite the little boost it has given my mood!
