ms_l: hope you don't mind me starting this one off.

Got three items on my list to pick up (assisted by a reward voucher) when I'm carrying out at lunchtime mystery shop at a supermarket, so lunch and petrol will also be taken care of. Provided not seduced by special offers, aim to spend less than £5 from already accounted-for grocery budget.

Might indulge in a glass of wine tonight (rare treat), but the bottle I've got lined up was a gift, so minimal spending there.

Have a good day, all.

Hiya. Thanks for all of your kind words yesterday, went home, had a little sulk & getting on with things today :0)

Money wise, ive bought lunch in, and need to get some groceries, but have £4 of luncheon vouchers from a survey i completed recently so will use that and keep it within £4 (only need to get 1 or 2 items).

Working tomorrow, and not much else planned for the weekend.

Debating whether to cancel my holiday in September and have one sooner, i feel exhausted :0(

What are you up to this weekend? xx

I've got a £3 voucher for mens products in Boots - any idea of something I can buy that would be suitable for a woman?! I dont want to smell like Old Spice but I'm not that fussy, its mostly all the same on the inside of the packaging!
Aside from that I am going to get an iced coffee at lunch time - mainly because its Friday and I've got a long weekend of work ahead! (no rest for the wicked )
And a toothrush cus mine has died!
and thats it - not too much money for Friday - tommorow is a new day and a new weekly budget to not spend!

Just hoping to spend £1.20 today to get the bus home, left all my spare cash at home so that I'm not tempted by chocolate again!

i forgot my lunch this morning because i was in a rush but i might be able to get away with eating some of my boss's salad stuff we keep in the fridge for him!

Am working tonight so i won't get the chance to go out and spend thankfully!

Hope you all have a great weekend!
