£3.50 spend today on DD dancing and a bottle of water while she was there!
Honestly can't believe I only have £3.22 left til end of Saturday! It's do-able but my god this challenge really makes you realise how much I spend! Help! Can't quite work out how I can cut down in other ways! Any ideas?
DD has a friends party on Saturday too and I usually spend £5 on a little something for them but I haven't even got that left in my budget!GC- June £0/£150
