    So yesterday, hmmmm

    Lunch at pub chain - £13.07- bargain!
    Snacks for car £2.00
    Fuel - reckon I used about £20.00
    Then it goes wrong, friend had spare ticket, please would I take it £15!:eek: Felt I couldn't say no. I hated very minute of it! The only thing I can say was that I had intended going to the Swedish furniture store instead so probably saved myself some money.......

    TOTAL £50.07 slightly over my predicted spend.:o

    Today had to buy milk& butter so no NSD but comes out of food budget;). Oops forgot about the £1.00 for circuits!

    Tuesday work meal £14.20
    Wednesday postage £0.46

    £19.66/£30 so far. Feeling very pleased that despite a busy week I'm managing to keep spends to a minimum.

    Day at home ironing and cleaning planned tomorrow and then at work Friday so should come in under budget.

    Another NSD for me :j. All the good work is about to be undone due to a load of unexpected spends that will be happening tomorrow due to a last-minute day out with sis :o;):D.

    You made me laugh, ETO! That is exactly the same with us. Dads are the best :T. The only way we get to pay is if we are sneaky and manage to do it before he actually asks for the bill ;).
