    Was hoping for a NSD today (would have been 5 in a row) but sadly I succumbed to a bag of Hula Hoops for 55p and Twix for 45p - so total spend for today £1.00.

    Not too bad though and its payday today so thought I deserved it.

    Will be spending 98p on my bar of galaxy later, but that is coming out of the last bit of August's grocery budget so does not actually count as already budgeted (that's my story and i'm sticking to it! :D )

    Hope everyone has a good Bank Holiday Weekend

    Hi all,

    £3.20 on a jacket potato, cold Dr Pepper and crisps for lunch.

    It's 80 degrees in our office! Far too hot to work!

    Should be it unless me and OH go to the cinema or out for a drink tonight.

    C xx

    Payday today and just got cost of living payrise (hooray very skint atm).
    I've spent 2.20 on a fishbit bap and coke at lunchtime but I'm going to the pub now where if I drink my round will cost about 20quid but I've had to work late (half the nights gone already) so if I just drink water (depends how my will lasts) then that might be it after all.
