Sounds like you've got some fab targets too monz.

Very quick post tonight as I was on a split shift today so up early and finished late. Start again at 8.30am tomorrow so must get some sleep. I went to the supermarket today and spent £16.52 on milk, binbags and stocking up on gf foods for the rest of the month. I also ordered a t-shirt for OH as an anniversary present using some of the Am*zon vouchers - £16. It's not our anniversary until next month but trying to be organised. Payslip is through from 2nd job so will get £109.69 on Friday, will do a budget tomorrow.

Looking forward to your budget:) x

Haha here goes - £109.69
- £30 food
- £50 wedding (for present, travel and drinks)
- £10 bus fare (2nd job shifts are quite far out of town again)
- £10 electricity bill
- £5 emergency fund
- £4.69 cc2

Today has been a NSD other than finally getting round to paying the council tax and also the tv licence. I went to the gym after work which was great because it has air conditioning so it was the coolest I'd been all day . My £5 reward went into the bank so I paid it to cc2.

So so - last month was pretty awful but going to try harder this month. Will be going once a week with a friend so I just need to fit in two more gym sessions a week.

Today has been a NSD, just been at work all day. OH seems to have picked up a bug - he's been sick a lot this evening. Looks like I might be going solo to the wedding tomorrow

misstara

OH didn't make the wedding so I went by myself. I had a lovely time but went completely over budget and spent £80 around £25 was on the card and present, around £25 on taxis there and back (I was originally planning to get the bus there and taxi back but it was torrential rain when I was heading off and I didn't want to arrive looking like a drowned rat) and the rest on alcohol (£6.60 for a gin and tonic :eek:).

We've off to Aldee today to get the shopping and hopefully a walk later down the beach as it looks pretty nice today.

misstara

I went to the gym this afternoon and then down to Aldee where I spent £28.01. Didn't end up going for a walk as OH is still not feeling great. I have made a £4.65 payment to cc2. Since its been a super spendy weekend, I need to try and get some NSDs this week.

misstara

I've just finished a short shift for 2nd job and am now walking home in the sunshine I picked up 3 shifts with 2nd job this week, they're all short (between 3 and 4 hours) but I should get around £70 next Friday so that's not too bad.

I'm going to try and not spend any money this week until the weekend (other than bus fare). If I could get 5 NSDs this week, it would really help make up for my spendy weekend. It should be doable as I bought heaps of food yesterday.

OH is still getting very few shifts so is putting all his efforts into finding a full-time job. He has applied for so many but as yet no interviews hopefully he'll get something soon but in the meantime we'll muddle through as always.

We're hoping that the weather will stay nice into the weekend as the plan is to dig out the tent and go camping. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Think that's it for now, I'll get a couple of hours at home and then up to my work for 3.
