How DF has your weekend been?

I rarely post as can't do so from work and don't seem to have the time in the evening, but wanted to share my weekend -

Friday -

Visit to Mr T - £35.47 spend, overall cost was £23.52 due to vouchers:money:

Monthly visit to Costco - £100.10 spend, but from this have made 6 chillis, 6 bolognese sauces, 2 lasagne, 1 shepherd pie, 2 fish crumble, 3 chicken curries, 6 HM chicken kievs, also got 8 gammon steaks, 8 pork loin steaks, bratwurst and bacon. I make that dinner for about 20 meals and feeling good as all done and in the freezer. :D

Oncall for work - £30 standby allowance and 2 calls at double time so extra there:j :j


Saturday -

Plants desperately needed for the garden. Had £33.00 of Homebase vouchers and for total spend of £42.72 got absolutely loads and all shrubs or perennials and some herbs for my butler sink in the garden.

Spent 2 hours listing on Ebay and by the time I had finished one item had sold for £22.50. :j

Oncall for work - £74 standby allowance and no calls:j :j :j

Washing machine on overnight on Econ7:money:


Sunday -

Washing already on the line
Hoovering and dusting done
Bathrooms blitzed
Yesterday's washing ironed

On call for work - £74 standby allowance:j

Now back to listing on Ebay, - I wonder if I can get the same results 2 days running :D

How has your weeknd been?

All the best
Gilly

    I've not spent any money...
    Because I have not left the house since 11.30 Fri afternoon...
    However, since I am leaving to go out and buy MIL's B-day gift, this will all change...
    HOWEVER! I have DH's debit card! Woohoo! (and he's not in debt, lol)

    At work at the moment but spent £8 on e-bay yesterday and looks like another £9 on another e-bay sale due to end at 5pm today. Spent £55 on the net last night on pressies for the Mrs and will get brunch from the works canteen today at approx £3 and got the newspaper today at £1.50 so not a very good weekend. Oh well.

    NSD yesterday:D

    £2 for DS to go to rugby tournament and £5 to put in DD's birthday card to a party she went to this morning.

    So not toooo bad, and sooooooooooooo much better than last weekend:j

    Have £10 in bank and don't get paid until 23/4 (a week Thursday). Asked my friend whether she thought I could get to payday without going overdrawn - she says NO, I say YES - so am determined not to spend anymore than the £10 I have.
