11th Jul 08 – Back to Frugality

Ok, well we know that I went a little lazy back there, a bit too relaxed after the holiday, however I’m back to be frugal again now. Had a cheap, or should I say free, week so far. Going away for the weekend but its a free stay in a friend’s cottage so shouldn’t blow the budget.

Budget remaining: £150

7th July 08 – Been a bit lazy recently

So, having got back from holiday I’ve been rather lazy and not really kept track. So as penance I’m going to give myself a target of £150 until the end of July. Its going to be tough because its nearly 4 weeks but I could do with cutting down. We’ll see how it goes!

Budget remaining: £150
