    £4 this morning on much needed pastry and smoothie (hungover).
    Am going out for lunch, so £8 + need rolls on way home £1

    OH paid for dinner last night and OH's sister brought the wine, so my big spend day really wasn't!

    I spent £42.12 today already, and it's not even noon yet!:shocked:

    £28.05 on my monthly water bill, so it's now up-to-date. (This was budgeted.)
    £6.38 on bread, eggs, cereal and a bottle of red wine (Comes out of my grocery budget.)
    And £7.69 that will have to come out of my Moozies weekly challenge budget, I bought a new book today (£6.99 ~ Cannibals and Evil Cult Killers:D)!! and 70p for posting a small parcel.

  • I've had a GAIN day today. Took my mum shopping and she put £10 petrol in my car for me :D Which now means i can pay another £10 onto by BT card towards my bill (If i make it past the wine shop that is)
  • I'll have a gain day too as I'm planning to take a £15 top back to M&S as I didn't try it on in the shop and I don't like it.
  • Planning for a NSD again today. It's actually sunny here, so am going to take the kids to the park.And I will not buy them an icecream, I will not buy them an icecream, I will not buy them an icecream! (They can have one when they get home for nothing!)

    Hi S_K - good to see you standing in for PaP today. :T :T

    Should be a No Spender here, today. My wife bought laminate flooring yesterday, so it looks as if this evening is spoken for. :rolleyes:
    I just hope we don't fall out - we usually do over anything DIY. :eek: :eek:

    Might buy myself a bottle of red wine from my own stash that's coming from Tesco tonight.

    Know that doesn't make sense, but I put it on Tesco Credit Card for the points and figured whenever I had a bottle, I would put the money in the joint account so that I didn't have to pay off the 12 bottles in one go! Makes sense in my head anyhows!

    NSD so far,

    Shopping after work but have budgeted for that and have a list! My parents are coming to stay over the weekend and mum said she'd give me some money towards food for the 2 nights I'm cooking for them - so I'm going to get the stuff seperately (and get one H&B lot with each shop ;) ) and then hopefully she'll pay me back for some of that shop - I love my mum :A

    Hopefully no cash spends though
