    Kittie- I got the car back this morning :) My bank balance and savings aco!!!!s are all standing at £0 thanks to the bill, plus i had to borrow £200 from my mum.
    But at least i'm not in debt.

    I aim to pay my mum back within the month and then save my @$$ off to buy another car.

    Day 14/19 for me well for lunch anyway. Treated myself to a bacon roll for brekkie since it was Friday :j so spent £1.40 on that. Ham sandwiches and yoghurt for lunch.

    Quite happy with my week as I have only spent £6.40 since monday. I just need to keep this up over the weekend :D

    Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. :beer:

    WTBSE fantastic news at getting your car back, lots of LTW to save for that next car :rotfl:

    Teacher work sounds hectic! Do you work in a secondary school? I always get confused with this year x business so I still go by 3rd year juniors or 2nd year comp etc. :) We'll be having Freshman years next. Well done with the LTW :T

    Trixie I really miss having a decent market to browse around, there isn't such a thing where I live. Well done with your frugalness :T

    Nellie how much would you have normally spent if you hadn't taken your own LTW? Well done :T

    BoP what a NAUGHTY Blackbeard, go and sit on the naughty step for 10 minutes and think about what you have done :D the sarnie sounds yummy though so you're not all bad :rotfl:

    Suziebabe well done with the lunches that's the main thing though I know it can get boring if you aren't careful :T

    Well done everyone :T
