    :mad: See what did I say, if I post before the end something will happen, what happened you are thinking? DP came in and said I'll treat you to a chinese, then when it came to paying asked for some money as he had none, bang goes £20......ok I'm still well under budget but he always does it and it annoys me!

    If I even try to post my total before the day after my January budget ends someone please kick me!
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:
    GC: £200

    Hi lil_me. Maybe next time you should say. Who is treating who to chinese?
    Or 'If you're treating me don't expect me to pay for it'!!
    Or even: 'Great idea, I'l have the money upfront
    On the other hand.. give him an iou to sign-a contract so that he is acknowledging that he owes you the money!!!!!
    Just suggestions.
    Hope you enjoyed your chinese. Last night I told my other half we would go to the chip shop for evening meal. There was a long queue and he suggested we walk to the indian takeaway down the road. So I ended up buying a more expensive meal!!!!
    Men-can't live with 'em, wouldn't want to be without 'em!!!

    so i have come in €150 UNDER budget.....yipee.... and all that i have spent is going to save me even more money for the next year :-)

    So im off to do some more meal planning and budgeting..

    have a brilliant new year everyone...
