    Morning folks ;)

    Inspired by not wanting to spend £4 I don't have to, I'm making pasta at 6am :rotfl:

    Mooomin - well done for getting up early to make pasta, you are a stronger person than I (also probably considerably less lazy!)

    Flyinggiraffe - Boo to putting on a pound. I'm on a diet and today i had a normal shop sandwich, fizzy drink AND a chocolate bar! Oh the guilt now! (But damn it was lovely and i enjoyed every bite!)

    So..

    I have £4.10 left from my £20 because I had forgotten I had pledged £10 for a wedding gift for someone at work :o

    I'm going out tomorrow night to the pictures and will be getting food beforehand for me and my friend (she has a tenner till the end of the month so I'm paying) so I will definitely be over budget. I'd like to revise my budget to £30 if possible, and try and keep within that. If not, I'll just try and keep myself from straying too far over the £20 :D

    Ooh I find when you are on a diet chocolate tastes even better! I don't get the guilt though, which is why I so easily fall off the wagon.
