    £3.35 in co-op. I've realised that is my downfall, i really shouldn't stop off there on the way home, it's an evil place which makes me spend money on almost nothing at all lol!!!!

    Hello! This is the first time I have been on since "the troubles" and I feel all at sea! So much catching up to do.

    First off though - my spends!

    £4.38 on groceries
    £25 on a manicure & some waxing (ouch!)

    All budgeted for. :A
    Bank Balance: In the black for the moment.
    Sainsburys Loan: Cleared July 2010
    Credit cards: AMEX Airmiles Card: direct debit set to clear balance monthly
  • Today I am not going to spend anything! I have enough food in the house, I can walk to town if I need to. The goal is to keep it that way until saturday when I have to drive out of town for some work. But then I'll be making money :)
  • Only budgetted spends for me today.... £7 for dog food, bleach and surface cleaner

    mr rog, where are you?

    Hi PaP, and everyone:hello: :hello: :hello:

    I really am sorry that I haven't been about - I'm still on training for the new job - I'm not getting home till late, and I'm starting at 6 0'clock as well :eek:

    I AM being careful with the spends, though - I'm taking packed lunch and there IS free tea (but ONLY when the canteen is open) so I am spending 38p on two coffees a day. :o

    I can, also, honestly report that I have, so far, resisted the temptation of the 'Smart Price' Milk Chocolate - but I'm only human and tomorrow is another day. :shhh:

    ^Don't forget the really useful Primark Jacks, and i'm sure you know far cheaper than Next :)

    :hello: Cheers honeybun!

    I wish Primark was nearer. :(

    We tried Peacocks, Bon Marche, QS, Pilot, Mark One, New Look and Dottie P's but only Next had a functional "Hold your trousers up" kind of belt, all the others were drapey, decorative, low slung on your hips types. (our town is poo for shopping!)

    I heartily resent spending that £15 though. :(

    I don't mind buying DD a new top. She hasn't had anything new "just for fun" for ages cos every month the family allowance goes on a new coat / shoes / school trousers / school shirts / bras / pants / socks / or something else boring that she needs rather than wants.

    And she hardly ever asks for anything. bless her. :embarasse :o

    Love Jacks xxx :D

  • I'm having a rubbish week spending wise.

    I forgot a friend's birthday, so had to get a card (99p) and as it was Sainsbury's, a whole book of 6 stamps (£2.04) in addition to my paper (40p) plus 2 packs of snack-a-jacks mini bites - (45p as they are BOGOF at Sainsbury's) But I did pick up my free birthday chocolates (thankyou Sainsbury's) which would have been £2.99

    I've still got to spend £1.00 at the library and £2.28 at my slimming club.
    I spent my £2.28 plus my £1.00, then went on to spend £5.11 at Morrisons - about half of which was groceries and half was stuff I didn't need.

    My spending week just gets worse :(
