    Wednesday
    Lots of spends - £9 on a pair of shoes, £16 on bras, £25.79 on a card and gift voucher for a wedding present, £24 on a friend's birthday present, £7 on two wee gifts for friends children and £4.50 on food.

    Yesterday
    Spent £24.10 on rest of travel tickets home plus £4.60 on coffee and snacks.

    Today
    I'm meeting friends for lunch so will need bus fare to get there plus whatever I spend while there. I got £140.55 today from 2nd job :D so that will cover all my spends.

    Have been chatting to my family about getting travel and accommodation booked for a wedding in London next year. My brother is doing research and will let me know prices. I wasn't expecting to have to pay for that this month so will take the costs out of the £150 I put aside for flat stuff.

    At least you've got it put aside which is great, and you'll soon be able to make that back up :)

    Thanks for your posts monz, INOD and Gib :D

    Stayed within my budget for the weekend although didn't come back with much. Had a fab time away :D and feel much better now than I did before I went.

    Had a NSD yesterday, spent £4.29 on a couple of bits today. Not much else to report, just spent the evening organising all my stuff from the weekend and cleaning the flat.

    I would love to be and as there's just over £1100 left it could be done. But realistically with Christmas coming up probably not :( will see how I get on though, you never know ;)

    Yesterday was a NSD and today I spent £4.80 on tatties, milk and chocolate.
