    NSD for me - except for budgeted parking and bills - same as yesterday. So a good start. Wonder if I can keep it up?

    Darn - thought lunch was provided in one of my meetings today and it wasn't so I had to buy a salad etc. - £2.30 spent - had hoped for another NSD. :(

    Ok - spent all I am going to spend today so I can do my final totals. Have spent:

    Lunches: £4.60
    Bus fare: £1.80
    Groceries: £47.43 :eek::eek:

    So much for a store cupboard week! Didn't help that OH was ill so needed medicines and we ran out of dishwasher stuff etc but still..... :(

    So my total: £53.83 - £23.83 over target!

    I do have a £200 a month for groceries so this does at least stay within that but I was trying this week to avoid spending that.

    I'm sure you are due a new thread today but didn't want to forget to post, I want to join you this week! I've decided I need to take my monthly spends out of the bank when I get paid and put it in envelopes for each week. So I'm going to allow myself £20 per week for 'other' spends that are not already budgeted for!

    Oops, I completely forgot to post my results for last week :o
    Well over, I bought a gel seat cover and lights for my bike, plus shopping and mouse poison! Didn't keep a tally thou. :rolleyes:

    I'm going for £30 this week. I have to get a birthday pressy, and I need to post some ebay sales tomorrow. I also need some fruit & veg.
    I don't think I need anything else this week.
