    MSE haircut i hope!? Where are you going for it, and how much do you intend to spend?

    Spending police will be watching!! ;)

    It'll be £12. I have to have it styled in a certain way which is LOTS of explaination for someone who doesn't know, so I have to go to my regular hairdressers for it!

    There has been much spending in my absence :(

    Xmas presents, hotel in Brighton, dinner out... I'm quite ashamed of myself! :(

    There wasn't much over-spending in all fairness. Mainly on luxury stuff like a Shake-Away milkshake (250 flavours of milkshake) and Starbucks Gingerbread latte. The dinner and Xmas presents were acceptable in my eyes

    I've been very lax recently in posting my spending habits. But, due to paying one bill off totally, I have been utterly skint this month. Recently all I've been able to spend is things on milk and bread and other such essentials.

    OK! Yesterday's spending consisted of £8.83.

    On milk, bread, marmite (cheapest version of), cheese and 5 ready meals.
