    Thanks Top and paws for your kindly comments on my diary. I guess living alone my life is fairly quiet,so I don't have a lot going on , but I do have a very busy life.

    Grandson was very hyper but he had a lovely birthday , I think he will sleep well.

    Shopping was £19.52 so well under budget. All good then in debt land .

    Well been busy with life the past couple of days. 4 NSD this week but that will change tomorrow, grandson day we are going trampolining in toddler time. Then lunch at supermarket probably.

    This weekend I am away on the frugal weekend ! We have a free voucher for accommodation the hotel is booked. Our dinner and breakfast are coming from the credit on my CC (train fare refund from Christmas journey ) . Have Starbucks gift card and m&s vouchers for lunch and coffee.
    I will not be buying anything as no need to buy anything, but my friend is a big spender so will watch her and be all smug because I am not spending!
    Taking £10 with me in cash that is my spends , have 2p's for the slot machines .

    Back from a lovely night away, walked miles in the sun yesterday, blown away the cobwebs.

    On the money front:
    Hotel paid for from free voucher.
    Breakfast and evening dinner£60 paid for from refund to cc plus an extra £2 each as refund £56.
    Coffee and cake at Starbucks lunch time had a gift card with £10 on , bill came to £9.50.
    Tram tickets £5.00 each.
    Tea on the way home at eat in chip shop £6.10 each.
    Extra spent £13.10 . Not too bad very please . I took £20 from my entertainment budget and came back with £6.00 ish.
    Weekend away no credit card used and no bills yo pay.

    I was very worried about spending money before we went , going in shops etc , needless to say it didn't bother me as much as I thought it would.

    I am giving £5 to my friend for petrol as she drove.
