Thank goodness its Friday ! Bought a bacon sarnie for breakfast and a crunchie at work today £3.15


After work I went to Asda to get a new sheet £6 & pillow cases £2 for spare room as DF is coming to stay next week. Also bought a bottle of strawberry lambrini £2.78 to take to a friends house tomorrow as she is doing afternoon tea for the girls and some grapes £2 and a chicken to roast £4.85 for when DF comes and a frozen chilli & rice mircrowave meal for lunch £1.

Lots of spending today, no saving but at least its all budgeted for
I've checked online banking and moved some money from the birthdays fund to cover the meals out with friends for their birthdays and to have a takeaway with DS tonight for his birthday before he goes to work on nights.


Looking forward to afternoon tea at friends tomorrow :beer:

Have just been round to friends helping her make little sandwiches for our afternoon tea and am now back home waiting for a parcel delivery between 13.18-14.18 then I will be going out again. We ordered a muscle foods meat delivery so should save some money on supermarket prices.


I had an email from asda today they are refunding £6 for a pair of trousers I bought that are too long. I nearly didn't bother taking them back yesterday but £6 is better in my pocket than a pair of trousers in my wardrobe that are too long and I will never get round to taking the hem up.


I walked the puppy this morning it was lovely and sunny. Its a bit overcast and cloudy now but still warm. My friend has made a big bowl of pimms so I don't think I will be doing much later today *hic* :rotfl: good job she only lives in the next road to mine, not far to stagger home lol.

I am glad that you are seeing your friend and will have fun. Hic. lol. It is cloudy by me at present but when it's sunny it's gorgeous.:j

After the delivery arrived yesterday I spent the rest of the day with friends drinking pimms and eating cake .. what more could you want !! Total cost £7.78 towards food & drink.


I started clearing out my cleaning cupboard yesterday as there is stuff in there from when we first moved into the house 20 years ago :rotfl: I found 2 lots of drain cleaner so used that last night on the kitchen and bathroom sinks which have been blocked and smelly. It worked a treat by this morning and has cleared the drains and made a space in the cupboard.


I have fed puppy this morning and will walk her later. DS will be back from working nights soon. DF will arrive later. All food planned from stores today. Hopefully a NSD.

My cleaning cupboard was like that! It's amazing how much you find in there.

Well done on walking puppy. Hope you have still got the Pimms and have a good time with your father.

Im marking. lol. Parents are doing my gardening.

Have had a lovely week out and about with DF after working mornings and a few lunches out at decent prices, offers including 2 meals for £9.99 and £4.29 each for lunch and a drink.


The weather has been lovely apart from rain one morning. DF put me up a shelf recycled from an old bookcase and I bought some brackets and screws £2.22. He also painted some brickwork with waterseal for me, which I bought last year and didn't get round to doing, and we did a tip run and got rid of some junk.


We've wandered round local public gardens and parks, visited a museum and the coast, all free entry and managed to park for free. Today we are out for a visit to another local free entry museum. Its a bit out of the way so we have to pay £3 for parking as there is nowhere else locally that we can park for free and walk in.

I am so pleased that you have been busy with your father. Well done on visiting all the nice places. I was going to a car boot but have changed my mind. I am going to chill at home. :j

Chilling out at home at the end of the week is the perfect way to spend the day

Have been a bit down since DF went home The date has come for my stomach scoping at hospital in 2 weeks. My new credit card has arrived & my balance has transferred. 10 days till payday. and my bank account is still in credit.


I have registered my mastercard with ICE and am planning another visit to Toby carvery with a friend next week with the £10 credit.


A friend is having a pamper party at her house in August with our usual beauty therapist so I am looking forward to a facial & massage for £20 will use my entertainment budget & take a cheap bottle of lambrini and some nibbles.


So, a few things to look forward to without too much spending !
