  • It's my birthday today :j

    However, have gone a bit mad. Have spent £74.94 :eek:

    I bought a lovely pair of shoes (£39.99), Chistmas presents (£25) and lunch out (£9.95).

    I've enoyed my day, but am a bit worried about how this will impact my budget for the rest of the month - am going to be spending all day tomorrow working on that !

    Free - could you read the papers online to save a bit of money? I know it's not quite the same but it would be a big saving over the course of a year.

    I am having as cheap a day as possible today - tomorrow will be a completely different story though, but I'll save that for the confessional...lol!

    £2.19 happy meal on way home from shops

    So thats £146.13 :o and I'm going out tonight which will mean another £50 gone so around £200 today in all. Damn.
    Trying to sort my life out, and I'm going to get there!
  • ...and that reminds me to buy a couple of lottery tickets tonight - I'll do it online to keep me out of the shops.

    So far I've spent £3 on newspapers and £8 on compost. I really don't know why I spend so much on weekend newspapers - I've read all the news online or seen it on tv. Maybe that's something to give up soon.

    So aiming to spend £13 today - woohooo!

    :wave: :wave: Hiya lovelies!

    I'm spending nuffink today!

    We will be looking at the fireworks in the sky for free tonight from the comfort of our own back garden :D and tomorrow it's my grandmother's 93rd birthday party followed by dinner at MIL's so it should be a cheap weekend.

    I'm sorry you're feeling poo Chloebelle. Can you sneak a little treat or two to cheer yourself up a bit? A usually verboten glossy magazine and watching Dirty Dancing for the umpteenth time usually works for me. (13 going on 30 works too!)

    Rog - I know just what you mean about the training being a bit overkill. They pitch it low and risk irritating the brighter peeps in order to make sure that everybody "gets it" I expect.

    Have a fab rest of the weekend lovelies!

    Love Jacks xxx :D

    PS - Hope the New Shoes are okay - I made the mistake of wearing a pair of new shoes to the first day of work - my feet are RAW. :eek:
    But that's ONE advantage of being married to a nurse.:rotfl: :rotfl:

    and it does look as though they are treating you with respect, which in my opinion really matters. Interview on Monday for myself: I don't hold up much hope.

    You are SO right about the respect, free.
    I wish you every success with YOUR interview on Monday. :T :A :T
