  • Spent about £15 today - papers, cleaning stuff, fruit and veg, soft drinks, cat food, cat litter and some petrol. Money went a reasonably long way.

    I love Lidl!

  • Hi everyone,
    Spent £1 today and fingers crossed that should be it - went into town to do some bits and pieces so that was for parking.
    Hope that chocolate was lovely Rog!
    have great weekends x
  • Took my boys to their swimming lesson, so bought them a treat on the way back and a couple local newspapers - so spent about £1.68.

    I'm staying in for the rest of the weekend (exciting life I lead!) so I'm not expecting to spend anything else. Anything good on the telly this weekend?

    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'll have a pub lunch with you, I dont have anyone to go with either ;)

  • Have since decided to bet on both Scotland and England winning their games today using William Hill and Quidco. I get my cashback and a decent bet out of it. All going well so far too on the pitch!

    Good afternoon all, managed to snag my bro's PC for a bit.

    Well of course holiday is more expensive than I planned, spent £75 already in the last couple of days, and thats not including the £74 I paid out on my credit card this morning before even getting out of bed :rotfl: (this was for my step-dad thou, so I'll get the money back).
    So far I have had a chinese take-away last night, lunch out today, various drinks and my bros birthday money.

    We have a meal out planned for the birthday boy tomorrow, which should come to about £30 and drinks out tonight and tomorrow. So I am going to put myself down for £60 for the rest of the week.

    Wish me luck
