ETO, I thought from your earlier post it was going to be much worse than that :rotfl:

Oh it got worse.... I went into town yesterday with little one and my sister. I needed a new dress for hubby's Xmas ball in dec, and I found one although I won't include that here. (Thankfully)

However I did also buy myself a birthday calendar, a bottle of fabric freshener a few more animal treats and lunch. :rotfl:

So £5.99, £5, £11.85 = £22.84

Oh and 2 bottles of water - £1

= £23.84

So total of £57.23 / £25 :eek:

Well I am a little bit gutted with that total as some of it was unnecessary spending but some of it would be stuff I would buy in the next few weeks anyway.

I'm just desperate to get to payday with some money left in my spends account. So I think I need to stop going to the shops for a bit as I can't be trusted at the mo.

Will set up the new thread when little one goes for his morning sleep.

Sunday: £4.65 swimming with smallest boy (he was free as a member) and £1.99 for running app- I'd got to the end if the free version and still going strong as it's cheaper than the gym
Monday £5.36 gerbil food
Tuesday £6.15 card and present for auntie, £2 sweets
Wednesday NSD Hooray
Thursday £16.30 spent doing Decopatch with smallest boy who was off school for teachers strike, not planned but it was really lovely to have some time with just the two of us. Spent £2 on drinks too.
Friday - £1 sweets and £9.99 on iTunes on music to run to as was feeling fed up- grr
Saturday Thank goodness a NSD!!

So my total for the week is £49.44/£25

That's scary - almost twice what I had pledged but I wanted to get a real idea of what I spend on incidentals and then I can do something about it. I've discovered I'm a bit of an emotional spender too e.g. feeling fed up so ended up spending on ITunes.

Onwards and upwards to next week......
