    The council tax needed to be paid today so that was £109 spent but classing it as a nsd as we saved last month for the council tax!

    I've been ill for the last two days with colitis so not been feeling that great! Finally made a doctors appointment and he gave me a bag loads of medicine! Thank goodness we are still entitled to help with prescriptions!

    Takeaway: £9 :mad::mad::mad:

    I'm in too much pain too cook and my husband ordered a takeaway! I'm going to eat and enjoy it but annoyed he bought when money is so tight! Could be worse and it's normally double that amount!

    Live and learn!

    It's hubby's payday and his first since being on sick! It was surprisingly good which makes me wonder if his boss has messed up his holidays and paid him them instead.. Which they ain't allowed to do! We won't know till he collects his pay slip!

    Rent: £100

    No plans for today I'm still in a lot of pain and the house needs a scrub!

    Toiletries and party stuff £20

    Ended up making a trip to a discount shop and got a lot for our money! My daughter is having a friend round and we promised them a takeaway! Going to try and make something whilst they are playing I'm sure they won't hold us to it! I wanted the whole week to be nsd but life happens! Got horse riding lesson and a school fayre tomorrow so need to budget that cost! X

    Nsd for us today! Decided we are going to do a balance transfer and cut up the Halifax account! We are just using it like a current account and it's not the best situation!

    Tomorrow is pay day and food shop day! Hopefully will keep under £40 this week! Need to buy food for dd birthday on Sunday! Xx
