Spent today =(
£14.99 for new work shoes as my old ones could practically talk.
Spent £8.50 on mum's birthday present for tuesday and £8.96 on her mother's day present(s) at the end of the month.
Personally, I don't see these as spends. They are things that were needed - especially the shoes for work, so if nobody minds, I'm gonna class myself as still within budget with a current £0 spend this week.
Tomorrow I will be spending £5.80 on Zumba class from my £10 allowance, but shouldn't have any other spends tomorrow.
Maybe a good luck in your new job/new home card for a colleague who's moving away, but she's not going for a couple of weeks and I could always try and make one (which I'll be doing with my mum's bday & mum day cards).
Then it's payday on Friday and ready to start from scratchDebts (as of 28/10/15)
