Financial Review of Week 10 (I WILL SURVIVE)

Hi everybody.

Sunday. Reflection day.

I made a fatal error today and had a browse in New Look.

So many beautiful things I want and should not (and cannot) buy.

Oh well.

FOOD SHOPPING

2 packs of reduced luxury cookies £1.50

4 Carrots, 1 Onion, 1 parsnip £1

Bread £1.19

Frozen Broccoli, Frozen Onion, Frozen Sweetcorn and Frozen Peppers £4.58

Birthday Cake, Gravy Granules, Mozzarella x 2, Strawberries and Yogurt £12.10

SOCIAL

2 x tickets to see a great band in May (they are called The Tuts, check them out 🙂 ) £16

SOCIAL/BOYFRIEND’S BIRTHDAY WEEKEND!!!

Cinema Ticket, Popcorn and Drink £7.99

Mexican Meal, Side and 2 Drinks £17

Lunch with boyfriend and his sister £10

GIFTS

CD and Voucher for boyfriend (bonus gifts) £19.99

TOTAL DISCRETIONARY SPENDING =  £76.78

TOTAL COMBINED SPENDING = £117.10

Well, it’s less than last week, I think, which is good as I now have £10 discretionary spending money left and £12.38 in the food budget.

To last 12 more days.

Uh Oh.

This doesn’t include my football training costs and a ticket to a women’s football match as these have been budgeted for but not yet paid for. They are safely in an envelope in my wallet. Hopefully the money in the envelope will fornicate with the lone £10 note and make money babies as I need cash.

My social life is looking pretty thin on the ground for the next 12 days, so that’s one good thing, and in all honesty we shouldn’t be buying any food other than bread, milk and fruit/veggies, so it is possible I will survive.
