CATCHING UP

Oops, been a while since the last update, and you'd be right in thinking that I must have spent something since last Friday (but only just).

It was another fairly quiet weekend, and other than buying booze (legally allowed to be purchased via the joint account) I didn't spend anything again. Go me!

However, this week has been a bit poor. Firstly, Monday started badly. After my usual cash point was busted I was forced to use a shop based cash machine complete with outrageous £1.95 charge! So in order to displace the horribly overpriced charge I tried to extract as much money as possible, thereby reducing the percentage occupied by the charge. Well dear reader, this plan worked wonderfully as the machine only had £20 left in so when I requested £50 it couldn't cope and only gave me twenty and let me off the charge! So the moral of the story is if you ever find yourself in the same sitauation, make sure you extract as much as you can bear and you may escape a charge. Hurrah!

Next up, I decided it was time for new glasses which proved rather expensive...

Sight test = £20
Jasper Conran Designer Frame = £125
Another Jasper Conran Designer Frame = FREE
Ultraclear Lenses = £30 x 2

Total = £205 (-£20 cos Nick's paying for my sight test)

Then I decided to compact the issue by going for a Wagamama's for tea. Our High Life card took a cool £10 off though so it only worked out at £15 each.

Last thing was a Mars Bar Duo for pudding on the way home.

GRAND TOTAL = £220.60.

Eeep!!!
