  • OK my weekly spends :D

    Mon, Tues, Wed NSDs :j

    Thurs £1.58
    Friday - £4 in the pound shop on mascara, eye makeup brush & nail varnish remover and some peanuts.
    £4 on play gym with dgd

    Spent £2 in The Range on some packed lunch snacky bits for dgd but this will come from grocery spends & £3 on a gift for a party dgd has on Sunday but again comes from a different "pot" of money so won't count this :T

    So total miscellaneous spending for the week £9.58 :T

    Next week I have a few things on - annoyingly as really wanted to keep spends low as we go to Ibiza the following week :j - but will keep the spends as low as I can. I will pledge £50 - seems so much :eek: but hopefully will come in less.
