    Funny old day today, I'm feeling a bit down, a mix of boredom, depression and PMS I think. I couldn't be bothered to do much, I did go into town to tackle the christmas shopping, I spent ages sticking bits and bobs in my basket in John Lewis (have a bunch of piggy vouchers saved). All perfect for gifts, but after an hour I thought, I can't be bothered, it's more stuff at home and I'm sick of bloody stuff in every cupboard/drawer so I put it all back and left. My house is pretty clutter free to be honest, but today I just couldn't cope with being out and around people. I miss my drums days like this... nothing seems to stop me feeling bored.

    And I was invisible today, no really. I know this because every single person I saw couldn't see me, that's why they all bumped into me, walked in front of me and almost ran their cars into me :)

    Anyway, shut up toto... spends today ended up being £35.00 exactly. I bought a really cute cat doorstop thing for my step mum, I'm dead tempted to keep it, I fell in love. And I bought a lovely set of black slate place mats which can double as things to put saucepans on for my neighbour who's getting married on saturday.

    Evening pap,

    Oh no - I've really blown the budget today!!!!!

    I took DD, her friend, my mum and her dog to Bridlington.
    We had a pub lunch = £32 and then the girls went on two rides down by the harbour = £10. I also bought cakes to bring home = £4, so,

    TOTAL = £100.64 running total (£80 budgeted) :o

    We all had a great time though and got LOTS of fresh air and exercise, so I suppose it was worth it.
    DMP starts June 2012, £38,180.

    Evening all!!

    Am quite smug today - becuase although I've spent quite a bit - it was all budgeted from my "mini holiday" money

    In effect a nsd for me!!

    Concerned now that pride comes before a fall!!

    Take care all
