    Small spend of £3.50 in asda on soft drinks and ibuprofen for my son. The operation went well, putting him to sleep didn't. They put anaesthetic cream on his hand so they could insert the cannula without him feeling it. He did feel it though his screams were horrific. They gave him general anaesthetic soon after and he went limp in my arms within seconds. The operation lasted 2 hours instead of 3 as they didn't need to do as much as they thought. He's in a cast for 4 weeks now. We also came away with a new diagnosis of hypermobility syndrome. It's never ending.

    Glad the Op went well, feel for you with the screaming it tears the heart out of you, I used to dread taking mine for injections they always screamed the place down.

    Hello,

    £28.41 left for the last nine days this month. I did not purchase any ebay items afterall and any other recent grocery spends continue to be very minimal. I still feel disinterested in grocery shopping so my money left might just be okay?

    I'm glad the op went well Sequeena :)

    I've no car again today so will have another NSD. I think letting OH use the car more often will be my key to NSDs :D

    On the downside, I remembered about a poundstore visit that we did last weekend, which was mostly stuff for the flat, so need to look out that receipt and see exactly how much we spent...

    Found the receipt and it was £11 (potato and onion bags, sieves, super glue, packing tape, drain clearer - didn't work at all, insoles, drill bits, food bags and food boxes), I love P*undland, the variety of stuff is crazy!

    NSD Monday and Tuesday, meeting up with the OH at lunchtime so will have to resist spending then. Spent £13.50 on the James Bond collection of books and £4.50 on a scottie dog chocolate mould online today, but both presents so coming out of another budget, phew, but had forgotten how easy it was to spend money online :o
    November GC: £50.55/£130. October GC: £72.60/£150
    September GC: £131.27/£170. July GC: £62.48/£80. May GC: £135.00/£150
    April GC: £201.91/£140. March GC: £194.98/£200. January GC: £111.41/£200.
    December GC: £67.45/£80. Nov GC: £159.32/£220. October GC: £208.07/£250.
