Errrr.. well... so much for £50, ended up spending £85 since Sunday on erm, a train fare, food, drink, few clothes etc. £20ish of that was a meal out but the rest was mostly bits and pieces of food and coffees out. Did buy pilates ball for £2 thanks to Argos vouchers and four tops for £5.50 which was a pretty good bargain!
On top of that booked the flights etc for my summer holiday and gave my friend back some money that I owed her which all added up to another £155.
Waaah
Need to balance that out with a couple of very low spend weeks!Debt@16.12.09 £10,362.38, now debt free as of 29.02.2012."I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better."0 -
Good evening all
Today i had to buy nappies and i think they cost me £3.98 from boots. I also owed my friend £1 and spent £1.40 on some drinks for the kids. This all came out of the money that i already had from going off the rails earlier on in the week.
I have to get a open return train ticket tomorrow for £12.50 as im going to my Grandma's till monday. Won't need to cuy anything though while im there which is good.Sealed Pot dec 08 - dec 09 so far £27.67, Live off £4k Spent £330.20 GC £1,200 for 2009 Spent £50.78 PaD so far £650.07Debts: L/woods £154.00 C/One PAID O/D £649.90 Next £299.95 O/D PAID Gas £72.60 Electric £155.73 Mum £640.00 Orange £490.320 -

Hi all :hello: ISOM - can't remember if I answered your post about Consumer Pulse, unfortunately it's invite only, no referrals, they send out invites now and then via one of the other survey companies, can't remember which at the mo but there's a thread in the Freebies forum about them.
Well I had a free night out last night thanks to OH, and a free hangover today :rotfl: £10 Tesco voucher from Valued Opinions came in the post this morning so may venture out and try to get week's shopping on that later. But going to have a good look through cupboards first and see if I can manage without going today, so I can then head off to the 'big' Tesco a bit further away tomorrow - my nearest on is a Metro and can be very short on, well, everything at times!
Hope everyone is doing well, what's the plans for next week?Debt@16.12.09 £10,362.38, now debt free as of 29.02.2012."I cannot make my days longer so I strive to make them better."0 -
