    Today I expect to spend oodles. On me.
    Wild, exciting stuff.
    Freeview box £15/Argos.
    Order broadband £?/No idea who with yet (got to find the cheapest/best still)

    And .. er... well, I hope to find more to buy and spend on.

    I am rubbish at spending :(
    I need a site that teaches me how to spend, not save. I am trapped in the frugal lifestyle I've always lived and now have lost the knack of spending.

    I'd like a pub lunch, but that's out of the question as eating alone in pubs is a pretty poor experience. So probably spend £1.50 on some food to eat in the streets :)

    I rarely get whats going on round here, what are people allowed to spend today? £7.50 at tesco is very precise. Paying £
    lol - It is quite precise, but I won't really know till I get there how much I will spend - but it's a guideline to myself of what I would like to spend. Then later, when I've spent it, I'll come here and say how much I did spend compared to budget. I try and plan meals for the week on a Friday night, so I make a list of things I need and approximatley how much I will spend in Tesco buying them

    You're talking to a compulsive spender here, so it helps me keep on track by saying how much I'm going to spend, then confessing how close I came. It's working for me at the moment (although I do sometimes fall off the wagon :D )

    Not going to spend anything today as I think I'm going to have a lazy day in my PJs!
    Was meant to be going shopping for an outfit for my lovely other halfs passing out parade, but decided to hold on to my money for a little longer as I have a couple of weeks yet :p

    Morning PaP, and everyone :hello:

    Hopefully it's just budgeted shopping today, but may be tempted as fridge is decidedly empty of 'finger food'

    And 'CHOCOLATE' of course - Tesco Value or ALDI :EasterBun

    See you later. :rotfl: :rotfl:

  • Nothing....until 7pm tonight

    As my friend is up from the RAF, so we're hitting the lash

    However, I'm going to desperately keep it to a £50 maximum

    If it was just a common or garden night out, I wouldn't bother, but it's a special time

    I've been so bad again. Ok, next week will be my NSW :) I've got an album launch party to go to on Thursday night on the Queen Mary so I needed something nice to wear, and as daft as it sounds I've got nothing that I haven't been seen in. But next week I promise I will buy nothing other than the groceries.

  • Well, my predicted £8.50 spend was a bit optimistic

    I spent £8.61 at Tesco, £2.50 on a magazine in WHSmiths and £1.99 on shampoo in Superdrug - total £13.10. I did receive a £1.50 cheque today, so I suppose that was something. Taking £1.50 off, my overspend is £3.10.

    Must do better
