The Unnecessary Challenge 2008

Maryjane_4

Spent £20 on food to last me uptill my london trip and £9 on a book for gramps.

Feel ok about it though.

Going to the grandparents tomorrow to help my dad cut wood for their fire. Then me and Pops are going to perve on narrowboats.
Haha i sound like such a nerd!

pippo

Maryjane wot woz that about
My Pops would never set foot on a narrowboat least of all perve
So today spent 65p on a drink for a youngster, but did not spend on lunch, booze, magazines or shoes and OMG:eek: was I tempted:rolleyes:
Nearly spent money on Euro Lottery, but (un)fortunately their website was down
Found I was £4 in credit (1/2 hour later) so have tickets for normal..National lottery at NO COST:j

Hiya CAF!

sorry I keep missing you hun, maybe sometime we can have that catch up

I was going to join in with the challenge but then realised that I too, am totally rubbish and hubby2be is terrible influence :eek:

Spending is currently out of control :eek: Im very worried about myself I used to be so good.

Also, we are again moving soon ( in the next week or so - long story) so will probably be without BB again :wall:

Miss you tho, and will you stop buying HOT DRINKS WOMAN!!

buy a flask says me who buys them reguarly at :eek: motorway service stations :eek:

CAFCGirl

I know I know.... I felt SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ashamed... it wasnt even that nice either..

However did redeem myself by drinking copious cups of coffee at work and selling a £600 coffee machine to someone who was watching my espresso shot downing extravaganza!

Day off from work today... and will be going out shortly to buy a receiver/flash drive/whatever it actually is that we need to make my computer in bedroom into wireless... I know nothing about technology! But we already knew we'd need to spend out on that so we put some money aside for it.......

Then the rest of the day will be very general and hopefully no other money spent!

Good Morning All!

Late start at work for me today and definitely feeling like I need it!
Yesterday only bought the bit for the computer which was budgetted for, so happy I didnt spend any other money. I'm eating at home before I go into work, so wont need any lunch, and only there for best part of 6 hours so should be able to function!

Anyway as with the challenge last year, Monday means (for me) a brand new crisp £10 note, so I'll be withdrawing that on my way home today. Tomorrow is a day off for me and PC Hubby, but think I might just stay in and do the cleaning..... He'll be on nights this week as well so will probably have to go out and restock on food for his pack ups... got him well trained on that one already....

How was everyone else's weekend?
Ciara - how was the date??
Pippo- how did you get on at supermarket?

Is spending on the wedding unnecessary

On consideration I believe it to be necessary:j

Can I allow myself a new outfit- or two????:eek:

CAFCGirl

You can allow yourself whatever you deem necessary MOTB!

And should a spray tan for your youngest be seen as necessary then so be it

Didnt do too badly with the challenge, £45 of the food budget gone on feeding PC Plod... eats like a horse....but not uneccesary money spent today
