What personal spends did you make this weekend?

[Blip]

For me, nothing yesterday and today a taxi into town in the rain £8, and a dumpling lunch for me and dd £25.
Dd bought me two face masks for £1.60.

Pondering spending some birthday money online this evening on art materials.

A large, ripe today avocado from Tesco and some olive bread. DH was away so I had poached eggs and avocado on toast as a treat. Can't remember what I spent but under £5.
It's end of the month nearly and funds are low but it felt like a lovely little treat.

Sainsbos on Friday, think it was about £70 - mostly dog and cat food! Some cleaning products from Amazon at the weekend - new doggie is currently getting toilet trained! A real rock’n’roll weekend for me, clearly!

Nothing this weekend except the weekly grocery shop (nothing just for me except arguably nuts nobody else eats £1.69).

On Friday dh was giving blood and I went with him to keep him company. Six quid on bus fare, two pounds for a cup of tea as we got there early (DH had cake with his as he was donating. I brought snacks with us as we are on an economy drive)

Lots love to you.

Nothing but Dh treated me to a packet of Strepsils and a whisky all in!!

A ridiculous amount. £1500 in ikea on bedroom furniture for the dc, £350 on a shark vacuum, £300 on a shark hairdryer, £14 in McDonald’s, £19 in an indoor trampolining centre and £40 in sainsburys. This is far from typical though. Our bedroom furniture, vacuum and hairdryer have last us for over 9 yrs but all fallen apart at the same time!

New welly boots for DC, a cheap slow cooker from Asda in the hope of saving some money on gas, a marked down jumper for me from the supermarket, a few bits of food shopping.

This weekend with DH, food shop not included.

Friday:

pub drinks and a mini keg to take home: £45

Saturday:
Lunch out £65
new leggings from Oysho £50
cocktails: £45

Sunday:
lunch out £85
drinks out: £55
Chinese: £30

Nothing

Did lots of housework and washing yesterday, so was at home.
Went for a walk on the beach today between bouts of rain.

Is this another journalist post ?

Asks a question about typical weekend personal spending and then doesn't come back . Ffs

Too much, but just left on a holiday. Toiletries, underwear, makeup bits and bobs, evening shoes and clutch bag for a 'black and white' dress code, luggage straps.

Friday night- £67
Thai take away for DH and I plus teen DC and two of their friends.

Saturday- £64
Jumper in Zara for me
coffee for DH and I
6 pairs of sock for DH
parking

Sunday- £125
Pumpkin picking
Take away hot chocolate and marshmallows to toast for the DC
Roast lunch at the pub with friends

🫣 it really adds up quickly.

A leaf blower/vacuum and shredder £78

Some new autumn clothes and pjays for Primark £40

A cardie in a charity shop £4

Pilates class £8

Bread, milk, digestive biscuits, 2 metres of curtain track, 2 metres net curtain wire, a silk sleep bonnet.

Food for the house, DIY stuff and cleaning materials are not personal spends!

I bought hot chocolate and a cake in a cafe with dh and some Reece's chocolate bars with pretzels in. And some new fairy lights.About £25 in total.

I have spent quite a bit of money this weekend but on supermarket shops, new bedding and decorating materials for the spare bedroom, so I'm not counting those as personal.

Too much.

Some stuff for my garage gym, some running trainers and an iPhone for DSS birthday - not brand new, reconditioned one.

Replacement skin care and make up
2 t shirts and 4 pairs socks

£70 of petrol for the car and that’s been it. A very cheap weekend visiting my friend and godson yesterday and my parents today.

We went out for a birthday treat for my youngest, spent £45 for cinema tickets and £65 on a very mediocre lunch. Folks, Slim Chickens is extremely overpriced - get KFC if you want chicken.

Another £19 on car park and about £8 on coffees.

Too much this weekend.
An eye test and 2 pairs of prescription glasses from spec savers (to be fair I am struggeling to drive with my old pair) A primark primer and a dress from Tu. I have food intolerances so we popped into asda for dinner on the way home and I brought some other gluten and dairy free bits as they are hard to find. dh also brought me 2 coffees and some chocolate.

Milkshake and cake for DD after her therapy session. New combats, top and necklace also for DD.

It’s the end of the month, so used my Nero points for a free cuppa and bought a piece of cake to go with.

Next weekend I have plans to go for dinner.

Well, I bought wine and canestan. 🙈

Shampoo and conditioner from Aldi, 89p each.
Two yoga classes- but they are part of my monthly membership- Unlimited classes for £24 a month- I usually have 5 classes a week.
Wow- just found out that means each class is costing the equivalent of £1.20- fab!

£30 on Chinese takeaway for 3 ( also did a brunch leftover meal for dd ) .

Petrol (£76) on way home from work but got £40 petrol expenses so not too bad.
