    Morning PaP, hope you enjoy your day at work. :beer:

    I'm at home today, working on my business proposals (and applying for jobs at the same time) - I'm getting a bit fed up on the job hunt - I just don't seem to be getting anywhere - I'm going to Aldi's later on, because my daughter tells me that they are taking on people for the Christmas period. I'm not optimistic though (was knocked back from Tesco last year :mad: ).
    Still, I'll probably do a bit of budgetted shopping while I'm at Aldi's, so the day won't be wasted.

    Sorry about the 'moan' - it is Monday, after all. :rolleyes:

  • TOO MUCH :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

    £16.42 in boots on nappies, wipes, hair colour and ear drops (ear drops are for nanna though so will get £4.79 back on Friday)

    £34.75 in dance shop on ballet essentials for DD

    £9.50 in mcdonalds on last day of the school holiday treat for kids :rolleyes:

    The only good thing is that buying hair colour from boots has saved me £35 at the hairdressers :D


    Nevermind - back to school tomorrow so no more silly spending on amusing and pleasing bored children :rolleyes:

  • Well I've only spent £210.42!!! It helps to make up for all those no spend days I've been having (boohoo).

    £108 on 3 pairs of school shoes, £52.45 on essential stationery x3 (luckily I had £30 in Smiths vouchers to put towards that one) and £49.97 on 3 watches as they really need to be able to tell the time when they are at school!

    I was crying tears of joy that they didn't need any uniform!

  • £2.50 - on a paper and packing materials for ebay posting - so really only 40p - not bad. Had to resist chocolate, which is good for my waist line as well as my bank balance!
  • Today is a NSD, apart from driving to the bank to deposit my maintenance check (car has fuel in it already accounted for). I have even been on a course at work and had a free buffet (I purposely ate loads!). :j
    Second and final LBM 01/01/11 Nearly got there but fell of wagon. HAVE to do it this time :mad:
  • Hi everyone - £3.98 on a book for a baby and £2.50p on a card today.
