    Aiming for a NSD. I always spend my "pin" money on booze, but after totting it up from last week (also supposed to be on a diet, so keeping note of what I eat and drink) I had 53 units!!! So I will not buy any alcohol this week. That's my aim anyways.

    well I accidentally went over my budget a bit today, £3,198 to be exact :o but I do get 1% back through quidco :rolleyes: I've booked for the 5 of us to go to Montreal on 23rd Dec to 3rd January.

    It's out of savings so that's good, and MIL is going to transfer me some money too. It hurt though, I hate spending money.

    Hi everyone!

    :o so far I've spent £3.60 on lunch - my defence is I'm carbo-loading for a 10 mile race on Sunday :A . I'm off to the cinema this evening - cheap night - which will cost £4.50, with a friend as it's her birthday. Either she'll drive or we'll take the bus which will be covered by my Oyster travel card :j I'll have dinner before we go and bring a drink with me so I'm not tempted to buy one either :j

    Hope everyone is doing better than myself. I'm finding it motivating :T

    Ah yes and OH ran out of money so I had to transfer him £35 to last until he gets home in a couple weeks. I don't think I should count that though as I'm sure (or should that be I hope...) I'll get it back.

  • Had to get up very early today (in work for 7) so I treated myself (slapped wrists) to a bacon butty in the builders caff and a chai in starbucks.

    4.60 in total bad me. No more today though I will scavenge what I can from home even if it means pesto pasta again (that's what I had yesterday) or BF says he might make me bangers and mash which would be even nicer.
