    Didn't update last night as I couldn't get MSE to play :confused:
    Was under budget with food :T

    Didn't get any Christmas pressies but did have a good look round.

    Bought a top and pair of tights in new look though (£15 total :o) I'm formulating my clothing budget at the moment...

    Bought my shoes too but my parents gave me the money for those ;)

    Oh and a bar of chocolate from M+S :o 55p.

    Need to get something for lunch today but not very hungry so shall just go and get a packet of crisps in a minute then I've got a parcel to post after work but that's amazon money.

    So not doing badly - will update all my spreadsheets tonight :A

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker Xmas Saver!
    Afternoon all,

    well yesterday went to a bit t*ts up as far as planned budget went. Got a lift into town from one of the work girls so saved £1.30 on the bus, doctors stuffed up and I was sat waiting for an hour :mad: so by the time I got to boots to pick up my pills everything was shut and I was left wandering the boots make up counters for half an hour.... £28 on Dior face powder, however that did get me another £5 off voucher which got another freebie pressie for my mum's xmas stocking.

    today it's been £2 on pasta from m&s for lunch and £1.30 for the bus. I'm planning on walking home depending on the weather so that *should* be me for today.
  • NSD for me today.

    I have only spent 60p this week on a snickers bar and a copy of the paper y'day.

    66P for throat sweets
    935 quid for a series of IT courses

    The 935 will count as business expense though (as im an IT contractor) and will help my career a lot.
