    £2698.50 shockedsmileyzn3.gif


    I spent nothing today, but I did get some stuff in asda yesterday, spent £15 in all on bits and bobs, my Ninja Turtles comic and wine for dinner with my granma last night (we ended up very giggly and silly).
    I was almost tempted by the doggy xmas costume, but I resisted. I may get Shadow an xmas hat soon, although she'll only take it off and eat it!

    It's my birthday today OH bought lunch and we'll go out for dinner later (same account but if he pays it doesn't feel the same!)

    Also need petrol on the way home but that's budgeted for.

    So not too bad, oh have a mystery shop to do later - so will spend a few pounds then but on useful things and will get it back.

    Well I spent 19p on a coffee at work, but saved money because they asked me to take the van home for the weekend as they don't have anywhere to park it yet. :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I'm shortly off to town to cash my co-op divi cheques. I've got to get some veggies from the veg stall or from Lidl may see what the offers are. I've got a letter to post as well to my OH with the job pages in. Oh and think i need a hair colourant - argh!
    Hoping will have lots of change left over from the divi though as i'm off to Lakeside tomorrow with my christmas savings.
