Evening everyone.

Sun- NSD - NSD :j
Mon - coffee with a friend - £5 - spent £3.85 :j HOWEVER... I popped to get milk, and then picked up salad and some biscuits for fri visit. Another £4.38 :mad:
Tues - MOT & service :eek: (budgeted £500, hopefully I'll have money left over and can be added to my maternity savings) - ok so car passed MOT. But all in all it cost £235.86, have also bought my car tax from the savings so total spends today of £345.86. Just glad it was budgeted.
Weds - Baby group - NSD - whoops. Sister asked me to meet her for lunch as she had a break between work appts. Luckily she paid for food. I just got myself a drink. So that was £2.05. And then needed bread and cheese for lunches, and loo roll. So another £4.97. Think i'll be red this week and dipping into next weeks money. :-(
Thurs - lunch and walk with friend and her baby - £15 (PAYDAY). - went for nail appt (budgeted) then lunch. Got 2 course lunch menu and drink for £6. And also bought mine and friends drink when we got there. £4.50. :eek: :mad: so £10.50 spent. :j oh and actually £1.60 parking this morning. ETA - another £2.92 spent, popped over to the shop for couple of bits, now hoping tomorrow will be a NSD.
Fri - baby group and visit from friend and her daughter - £5
Sat - night out - £25

Total - £31.77/ £50 (3 x 50p into little mans money box)

Now I've been thinking about our night out on sat. I am really thinking about driving as its going to cost around £25 for taxi there and back. I need to drink more than 2 drinks to make it worthwhile not driving. And I don't want to feel like carp on Sunday and also need to look after baba. And I'm still feeding him so conscious of how much alcohol will be in my system.
What do you guys think? Do you think I'm a misery for driving and not having a drink at a friends 40th party? (I know drinking isn't the be all and end all )
