  • Hi PAPS and everybody!

    I have really missed you all so much, but I'm back and apart from buying some groceries out of my grocery budget for the week I only spent £1.15 on a colddrink while I was out today. My target is £10.00 this week and has to be enough. Not sure how the weekend will go but will wait and see lol! Am on call tomorrow so am hoping to not spend any money tomorrow but might have to cheer myself up at some stage with a very very small chocolate! Won't be coming home tomorrow nite, staying at the hospital, so am hoping to not spend to much. Should leave my purse at home really lol! to resist the chocolate fairy!!

    It's so good to be back!
    Cheers

    A NSD managed today.
    Didn't have to buy the chinese we had as we stayed late to do a stock take and the co paid. It's a long time since I had chinese, I think my colleagues were shocked at how much I could put away :o
  • Cut Travelcard by buying a day pass - £5.10

    Downhill from there, though, with some people I know:

    Drinks - £16.53

    Curry - £17.00

    My fault totally. Debit card bill went out as well so no money from cashpoint. The money I paid in to cover the revenue, well, who knows what's happened to it.

    God almighty.
